    Hey dev;
    Thanks for the code!

    So far, loving the game!! :)

    But.... I'm having a small issue.
    In the pic by a doorway, is an energy ball? There's no way to pass it. ( or is there?)
    In the other pic: my character goes to the top of screen. (Light at top of pic/screen)He just goes to the right until he 'poofs' and game over. I can' throng him down. :(
    What am I doing wrong?

    Sorry! And thank you!

    No worries man I just found the bug myself but quitting the game and restarting should fix it up or you can try a reset and then reset the game. Please message me if you run into anything else. cheers

    Thanks for the code! What a nice surprise.

    This is an incredibly hard, frustrating, and amazing platformer. Wanted to throw my phone a number of times, but finally making it past a checkpoint is incredibly satisfying. The controls are spot on and you absolutely need that as one wrong move and you are done.

    This is going to stay on my phone for a while and everyone is in for a treat.

    Great job

    Thanks again for the early code...

    I just made it to the first rocket, jumped in and the game crashed, back to the homescreen. Restarted the app, survived with the first rocket just to have another crash with the second rocket, somewhere in the middle of that short flappy sequence.

    Rebooting my 5s, 8.4.1, multitask bar empty (as before)...it runs again and made it to the charge station before the Cold Storage level...

    Hmm, i have some mixed feelings and really, i want to like it more as i do right now.
    Two reasons: one is the (for me) over sensitive and shaky left-right controls (but resonsive!), and the other is that i get some cheap deaths rather due to the design than my own fault (enemies coming quickly from below or top). I hope i can counter these deaths by knowing better those little foes' flying patterns.
    On the other hand though and honestly, i really have no clue yet how to correctly/best/when use that rocket boost with the A-button...

    I love the atmospheric menu screen and when the great computer music starts, i had a flashback into a Snake Plissken movie with the hammer soundtrack by John Carpenter.

    Definitely check this free game out.
    No social schnick-schnack, only one ads-free iap and a low installed MB 45.5.

    Thank you so much for the feedback and honest review. Sad you have run into some crashing. We will have to try to find out what is going on.

    In later buildings/rooftops you will need the fireball to make a little bit longer jumps/blast through doors/ plus protection. We had talked about keeping patterns the same for the security ballz (which later building do have) but the random ones won out with the people that play tested the game.

    So stoked you like the music but at this point my household is done lol The art was fun to put together. cheers

    Thank you so much, you seriously made our day. Super happy you like it as much as we enjoyed making it.
    Again you rock!
