Not very fun. OK graphics. Only one of the powerups (the shield) is useful. The others are no help and don't change the game much. There is no complexity, only luck. At it's heart, this is a good idea, but it needs some more (and useful) powerups.

Not bad, but repetitious, and the randomness of the special powers makes the game's scoring system fluctuate a little too much.

I can't seem to get any more than 60k points, kinda disapointing, cause I can't do the harder challenge. Other than that, it is a fun game, I like all the different powerups, and it is more interesting than the other games of its type because of the rotating aspect. 4/5

I disagree - I like not having control of the rotation. It forces the player to adapt to the rhythm of the game. Of course, it does occasionally force a loss, but to me it's worth it for the creativity and timing that the constrained control creates. Good job - cool game!

I think this would really benefit from having some sort of "succession" bonus...after you get like 4 power-up-points-bubble-things in a row, you get a 2x multiplier, etc...as it is now it rewards luck, but not skill

This is a truly fun game. I like playing it because it is challenging and addicting. I hope more games come out that are this good. This whole challenge, though, has opened my eyes to how good internet games can really be.

Cool idea for a game but I agree with some of the others that it relies too heavily on just luck of the draw. So as you play if you make it very far it seems more like you just got lucky rather than actually increasing your skill and what not through practice.

If there's a weakness to the game it's that the mines and powerups are completely random which means that there will be points where it's impossible to escape. Or you might luck out and get several shields in a row. I've always thought games like this should have the mines come in a set order. It would add a level of replayability as you'd be looking for the "perfect" path through the game.

There's a cheat. Right-click and the Flash menu will appear(remember that in the FIRST line of code, you need forever to put Stage.showMenu=false; PixtiZ) and then move with the arrow keys and hit a mine. When the game over screen is going to appear, go back 15 frames or so and you will continue earning score. When you're satisfied with your score, simply right-click and play

I thought this was a pretty good game, contrary to the comments below. I think the challenges should be relatively hard, and this was a good game to include. The music is a little cramped out and gets really annoying after a while you start humming it and everyone else around you strats getting annoyed =D. takes more skill than you realize, people.

This game wasn't that impressive overall. On the plus side, the graphics were very nicely done, and the music was nice and soothing, which was important seeing as how frustrating this game could become (Dying at 99,800 is NOT a fun experience =P). And that is probably the most prominent negative - the game becomes too frustrating to be enjoyable. Often times, just as you thought that you were doing good, a wall of mines would appear that you had no way of avoiding, especially later on when the mines moved very quickly. The spinning mechanic was a nice innovative touch, but it increased the frustration more often than not. One other thing, as someone mentioned before, when you are horizontal you cannot go completely to the top or bottom of the screen, which creates a problem because mines can go across the very top or bottom of the screen. The movement boundaries should be increased. It wasn't a bad game, but it didn't knock my socks off, either.

It's not the best game ever but, it's definitely challenging, and I do like the fact that the pause button isn't the P button because it's alot easier to hit.

if not for the challenge i wouldent play it... its got nice mechanics and all, but it brings nouthing new to the table, 3/5

ahh...its super hard...i can never run fast enough and the whole spinning of your guy frigs me up all the time...i find it good but extremly annoying and would never play it unless for this challange.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why in gods name can you not go all the way to the top or bottom. You cannot even percieve how many times I've died from that. This has got to be the most annoying collection of games for a challenge ever.

This is one of those concepts that is seems so simplistic, but is so difficult to turn into a great game. You, my friend, have made a great game! I thoroughly enjoyed this one and the Pause button was an excellent addition. Keep it up!
