Aye :). Right now, I'm testing out a new system to automatically find new comments instead of having to manually check every game every day to see if there is a new comment, so hopefully can soon do even more responses :)
Vsauce is a YouTube personality who gets hundreds of thousands of views in his "DONG" (Do Online Now Guys) series. I didn't know about him myself until a friend sent me a link to a video of his where he mentions this game. You can see my comment above for the link to the video if you want. Glad you enjoyed it :)
There have been so many avoider games done, I'd actually be surprised if it didn't remind someone of something. In reality, the only inspiration I had for making the game was that it seemed simple to make (since this was my first game ever) :P.

Your views are about to reach heights, I played on kong for a long time and didnt know about this game, but its kinda really cool.

Very addicting game, congrats! I'm from the Vsauce army, hope the rest of you guys won't swipe my name off the top scores :p

Actually, in most games where the controls don't feel like you're on butter on oil on ice (I hope that's intentional) you move 4-8 pixels every frame. @Devresponse
Thanks for the idea, but I don't have an XBOX nor a license to submit games there... I also don't think it's convertible. I'm glad you enjoyed it though :)

For your next avoider type game, two person would be good. Also, I noticed in this that you cannot move up-right, only up OR right. Please fix this!
Llama, TLS is indeed two-player compatible. Also, I don't know what is going on with the controls... they work for me... can you give me more details... I tried both WASD and arrows and both worked...
Thank you :). It's best played when you get an entire room competing for top scores. We once did that and it was nonstop addiction for about an hour :D

Yay,I got all blue highs..yet again(this time 1 and 2 by a hefty bit).Though the only thing wrong I've encountered is that when I get about three or four high scores,the score resets ingame,every time I get a gameover and doesn't save.Not sure if this is the game or Kongregate.Please check that out if you get the chance(happened a couple times yesterday when I beat some of the previous scores).Still deserves a smiley.. -> :D

Well you have done a great job. Will surely like to play the expanded version. :)
Thanks, just used that to try to help a fellow developer who is using CS5. Since I did mine in Stencyl, that's all a bit too much dry coding for me ;) (in Stencyl, the majority of the code is done via drag-and-drop pieces that snap into place, a rather ingenious system IMO). Might be helpful once I get to the preloader and music. Thanks again :)

This game is good but I just saw a tutorial on a game like this "Avoider Game".
did you made it from the tut? Just asking :). Good game.
Not in the least. I made it totally from scratch. Actually, what is that "Avoider Game"... might get me some ideas for some last-minute tweaks in my expanded version.

This is a ver fun game even how simple it is .... i look forward to more, you have the right idea for a game and I happed to have my own music playing in the background when i came across it so it made it even more fun ....I just like this type of playstyle
I'm glad you liked it :). For my expanded version, I tried to keep the simplicity while adding a lot of features. It's a tricky balance but I hope you will enjoy it too :)

I love this game, it's one of the most fun I've played and it's not complicated with upgrades, power-ups, levels, and no special abilities and I hope too see more games from you. 5/5
Thanks! Glad you liked it :). I hope you will like the next one too. I tried to keep the simple, addictive gameplay, while adding a lot of details and customization to it.

Wtf....my retry button slowly went down off the screen, lol. Great addicting game. Except I broke top 8 all time on my first try 0_o.
Aye, you managed to happen upon a bug in the system. I had it happen to me earlier today when showing it to someone. Also, it can happen to the game over sign :P. While I fixed it for the next game, I found it too funny to fix for this one :P

i was thoroughly impressed by the simplicty and addictivity, awesome!!!!
also, if not previously mentioned, music :) (unless my computer isn't working, i see volume option but no sound)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Omg, its awesome. Ive had a lot of fun with the game seriously.
Abi I miss you, my internet cant live long enough to get on our chat but I promise the moment I get back to Mex Ill be meeting you in chat.
Anyways congratulations Abi. Ill be waiting to see the sequel.
The sequel is indeed on its way. I'm hoping it will be a massive improvement over this game (although you will notice this game still being in it). The graphics will hopefully be done by an actual artist (unlike my paint actors), sounds will be included, and the game itself will be expanded with multiple stages and a lite plot with two endings... so yeah... gonna be a while :P.

BTW, if you make a YT video of playing the game, please let me know. I enjoy watching reactions to those who played it. Helps me to learn what was liked or not liked, as well as what causes confusion. Thanks :)
:D. It's not the only one! Try to hit mode 1, mode 3, blue, red, and even the "game over" off ;)
(AKA, they ALL can get hit just right to fall off the screen :P)
Have you tried "The Lonely Square" (http://www.kongregate.com/games/Abigayl/the-lonely-square)? It's the "sequel" to this game, with a story, shop, and even a level creation tool. ;)
Nope. If I'm not mistaken, there's actually two (or more) easter eggs in it, one on purpose, one was an accident that had funny results so I left it. It's been a while since I made it or last played it, so I can't say for certain though.

Not a bad game. But can someone explain to me why the Mode 2 button is just leaving? XD https://prnt.sc/pu074e https://prnt.sc/pu0779 http://prntscr.com/pu080j - screenshot proof

This is a comment that I think is worth wile so it could be cool if they like we not to easy to doge and make it look cooler or somthing.
There is a sequel to this game, called The Lonely Square. It's kinda the "full" version of the game. It has a story mode, shop, different difficulties (near infinite difficulty combos with the shop), and even a tool to make your own levels :).
Cool :). You're one of only four people I know who has done that (other being myself, my friend who told me about the video, and whoever recommended the game to vsauce in the first place).

It's easy to see how much work the developer put in. It may seem like a simple game, but making it so that it launches enemies somewhat randomely is actually quite hard.
Thanks, I'm glad you can see my effort. The trickiest part for the launching code was dealing with all of the conditionals (each spawn location needs to spawn in different directions).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
After playing a few games I rated it a 4/5 20+ games later I had to fix my rating to a 5/5 For a simple game it really get's addictive lol. Great work!
Let me know what help you need. I can help with debugging/suggestions, but I don't write code for others (primarily because I use a lot of universal attributes which you can't copy).
