I liked the monsters but you could improve them quite a bit. add some color and maybe some particle effects coming off of them (like in alan wake, I realize this is a flash game but just the idea of the smokey effect). The beginning of the level is so random. you just float up onto the platform from below. you could have a short cutscene of the guy falling onto his face and then getting up and being chased by a monster. Before I finish and get thumbed down for criticizing the art I just want you to know that the animations were great and I loved the floating squid-things in the background.

I would like to touch on the art. I don't hate the graphics but the title of the game is "Nightmare Runner", I think that the game should be darker. Keep in mind though black isn't always darker. I mean darker as in grainier, more rough. Also, yellow for a background was poor choice in my opinion. In my nightmares the sky is usually either pitch black or dark red. I realize that you tried to make it look very alien but I think it just looks wierd.

Finished it the first time through. I'm confused as to what the point of the floating monsters was; do they actually attack, or are they just to increase your score tally?

Too easy. On my second go, I got 9836 and my first go i didnt realise i had already unlocked double jump right at the start (that was due to my own stupidity)

Good game, short but a nice change from the basic "run" genre. The trick to double jumping, is timing them right since you always jump the same height, start the 2nd jump earlier/later as needed.

I admit - this one is good, so 4/5 from me and I hope to see a sequel worth better rate :) Because I see You paying attention to player comments, I will gladly share my suggestions to make it more interesting, more challenging: 1. More versatile enemies; for example dodging, warping, firing, swarming, breeding, cooperating, ones - possibilities are almost countless :) 2. More boss types; this one does nothing but dividing attention. 3. Dynamic levels - and I mean not only visual design, but also properties, for example upside-down ones, stairs or direction changes 4. Dynamic music. 5. Monster buffs and player downgrades - for example negative powerups, monster projectiles or auras. 6. More, more, more lovecraftish creatures; me gusta :)

The second jump height upgrade actually makes it harder. Much harder. Try giving us the option to control the jump height. Start the jump on mouseDown, and stop it on mouseUp.

it's more R'lyeh than Hell... Ia Ia Cthulhu fhtagn!
also the monster desing reminds me at Lovecrafts creatures... flying polyps, hounds of tyndalos and stuff.
great stuff. keep it up. But i think the XP-system needs a rework. saving XP from a last run isnt really that great, rewarding faster XP (killing creatures not collecting xp-marks) and the lvl should reset each run. that would make this game more challenging.
Also the run should go faster after a while.

Nice, nice game ... Pros : mouse only, simple, lvl up. Cons : Autofire is so wrong with limited ammo, too easy, too short. 3/5 but i guess a sequel would be 4/5 ;)

i don't really get people saying that it's harder to land on smaller platforms, i only used double jump, and jumped earlier or later depending on the gap. with that in mind the dev should make the platforms less predictable, small platforms followed by small platforms so i can't just double jump every time

Kinda wish I could turn off higher jumps. I had more control when the jumps were smaller. For a "perk", jump height feels pretty bad.

It's a nice game, but you can add and improve many things. You could maybe add a shop or some sort of skill point tree. You could even add mini games or even add more than just jumping to the game like sliding maybe. It would also be nice if you could go up more levels than 10. But overall it's a good game.

Good entertaining game.But I don't like how the shields are of no use when we fall. It would be better if the shield would burst and push us upwards if we fall down.And if the shield would act like a bubble and fly us to the top if we have two shields.Just a suggestion.

It was too short before, but now the game is too long. It is way too easy to get completely leveled up before you can reach the end. At very least make more levels.

i must say the music reminds me of vexx or jak and daxter or assassins creed a little bit but love it and the game to

I really wish there was an option to turn off autofire. I know it Is easier, and there's really no point to holding your fire since you don't run out of ammo or anything, but it just feels awkward to me without having control over when I shoot.

a skill tree would be nice. Whenever you gain a lvl you could pick up a skill. different weapons would also be nice. and make the game a bit longer. It is a fine pice of fun m8.

"Due to popular demand, game is now longer and a bit harder. enjoy!" thanks high school for corrupting my thought process >.t show up in the first comment :o

Eh, it's alright. It gets boring quickly, though. Nothing to do except shoot more hellspawn. If you make a sequel, expand on the things that you can do.

this game is neat. At first I was like, "standard quasi-horror tentacle monsters" then I noticed something: the ground BLEEDS when you shoot it... this isn't just some monster invasion, the very WORLD is out to kill you. Good job.

It was decent. I thought I'd have a sense of satisfaction when I reached the end, but "You escaped from hell!" really didn't do it for me.

Way too easy, I hate repeating the first half just to get to the mildly challenging 2nd half. Maybe have a checkpoint at the half way mark?
Also, the increased jump height after the 3rd time, makes it really hard to stick landings on short platforms, and is never actually needed. I say remove it.
