I gave it a go! Got 110 as my score.

I'd say that the graphics are pretty good in a that blocky 8bit kinda way

Suggestions:

*The controls are fiddly. Mainly I found that no 'up' button made it hard to navigate. Maybe this is intentional...

*It's too easy to stay alive a long time because extra lives keep respawning - I had over 15 at one point. It might be an idea to limit the spawns. Say, if lives are less than 5, then spawn an extra life. Something like that!

*I found the enemy would spawn on top of me when I was near the top of the level. Perhaps make it an infinite level, with no ceiling. You'd have to fix the guy's position near the bottom of the screen maybe. Not sure - it'd be a different game then I guess!

Anyway, just a few thoughts off the bat!

I got to about 200 points then I just got bored and quit. Controls don't respond very well.

BSideGames

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I have fix some things...

@QS made life(and blast) gems spawn only if below 5... great ideas as always.
@QS I put the spawn at the top and fixed the camera tracking for a better view.
@QS,COB Made the left and right move more up, and down not as fast.
@COB I hope the changes ramp up the difficulty and or fun.

Thanks again

I just tried it, did you get rid of the up button all together cause it doesn't work now.

BSideGames

There never was an up button it is only left and right that make you go up and to that direction... Like a rocket pack thrust.

And the down button makes you float down.

Just did an update to fix the pile up bug.

Thanks to everyone that has played so far
