rich Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Very fun Although you should capture the space bar, as it scrolls the browser when pressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feiss Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 you can press any other key too! but you're right :PPP EDIT: FIXED, Thanks a lot!!! Btw, I feel some people may think this is spam or some kind of selling trickery. It is not, it's just a humble and honest bet. We believe that the best player finishing the game should have a prize!! Btw2: Forgot to mention, but it is powered by Phaser, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Heh... nice one, now I can tweet it out (I know you could press any other key, but it told you to press space!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezelia Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Haha that's crazy ! I was making a game with a similar idea but abandoned it some months ago. now you motivated me to return to the code btw I'm at level 10 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerTL Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 A game matched in its difficult by its elegance. Really nice. The prize is definitely not going to be mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feiss Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks spencer, nice words Hey Ezelia, haha great, don't forget to ping me when it's done and keep trying! if you get to level 10, you can do 13 or 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nambiar Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ok. I gave up a better part of the evening trying to go beyond 10. ARGHH! I love your game! I hate your game! (jk - i love it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playtwice Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Not my cup of tea but an amazing game nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyHelix Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So...I love this game...but I swear level 15 is going to make me toss my computer. LOL Great work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Of Sleeping Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I was playing this yesterday. I was hooked straight away. Love this kind of thing. One thing I noticed was that if you are playing with the spacebar you can hold it down to rapidly jump. This came in useful for one of the levels where there were 3 spikes in quick succession. However holding the mouse down will make you only jump once. I found it impossible to jump over the 3 spikes with the mouse but easy with the spacebar. I wasn't sure if not having rapid fire controls with the mouse was the oversite or whether having it on the spacebar was unintentional. Anyway, great game.

feiss Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hi Dream, thanks for your input. Keyboard support was a feature added in the last minute, and we certainly didn't notice the issue. If you cannot hold the mouse to jump repeatedly, you shouldn't be able to do it with the keyboard. I'll fix it ASAP. (btw, it is not impossible to jump over 3 spikes with the mouse ) Thanks RubyHelix! yup, we are aware that the game is rising behavioral problems in society. Sorry about that. EDIT: keyboard issue is fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpathos Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wow! All the key elements of great game design distilled down into one infuriatingly difficult, and infuriatingly addictive game. Congratulations to you and your friend on its creation. I think I'm going to need a little practice - still only on level 6. I bought a gaming keyboard and mouse to replace my old, worn-out set just for robustness, but it turns out their responsiveness is also handy for this kind of game . Actually, the way I'm going, the robustness is going to be important too... It seems the game's slightly easier with the mouse, simply due to the shorter button travel. Great game - hope it gets the publicity it's due! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoul Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Awesome game and very difficult! I really like the style. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feiss Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thank you pixelpathos! Thanks for the kind words. Yes indeed, we made the game thinking of tablets/phones screens and mouse, and added keyboard support near the end of the development, to help people with bad mouses or trackpads. Thank you WhiteSoul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklamers Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hey Feiss, Really awesome game, can really appreciate the cleverness behind your 'top player winst 30EUR/40USD. It shows you have thought about more than just the technicalities of creating a game but also think about how to motivate and engage users to play. The game itself is working very well and I was immediately hooked, wanted to stop playing because I had to do things but what do you know it 20 minutes past by and I'm struggling at level 11. Can only praise the effort! - Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregmax17 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Damn that is a good game. Very nicely done! I have no other comments to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feiss Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks gregmax17 and ricklamers! level 11 is pretty good, most don't pass further than about level 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhmedElyamani Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Be careful guys , It's a conspiracy ! feiss made this game so we keep playing and never work Really nicely done , I didn't pass level 8 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feiss Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Haha, that's true Ahmed. By the way, the game is being a big success in North Africa countries, specially Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt! I think it is because it was featured on th3professional.com, which seems a big deal over there.. amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolistens Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I loved it! Have you thought of creating a never ending level instead of having many different levels? Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feiss Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks for playing! Yes, we thought of that, but ended dividing it into levels for some reason that I cannot remember now I think it was to better control the learning curve, and to fine-tune the levels. Also, if you fail you would have to start from the beginning.. Anyway, it's a nice idea and we may add it in a future version, in a different game mode or something like that thanks you!

feiss Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 We launched Zoi for iOS! The port was pretty straightforward, really. Since the code of the game is quite simple, I've directly used Sprite Kit library, so the game runs natively on all iOS devices. It supports Game Center, so now we have a scoreboard! (even achievements ) this adds lots more interest to the game, imo. The game is for free with ads, trying not to destroy the gameplay. You only see an interstitial ad after beating one level or every 10 fails. Check Zoi's website. We will now try to spam some websites. Help is really appreciated, spread the word! just go to the website and click on facebook or twitter icons on the bottom. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergej.s Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hello! What's happend to the game? I can't find the original one, only the reskined version. Does the reskined version still use Phaser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
