FireFox 4 under XP ran just fine. Cute game. Are the figures actual 3D models being rendered? Or are they 2D sprites.
Reply to this commentI'm using chrome but I can't press new game. HELP!!
Reply to this commentYou have to use the keyboard up/down arrows to select New Game and then press the space bar.
Reply to this commentIs there only one level?
Reply to this commentUmm... nothing happens when i click "New Game"...

Reply to this commentIt was an OK game, but it could use some work. You lose coins when you die, and it has no tutorial so if you're just starting out you don't know what kills you. Also, add sound and more stuff (Enemies, Story, Sound, Levels).
Reply to this commentreally liked this, nice and plays very well. of course id like more levels etc but kids really loved it so thanks
Reply to this commentIT SUX IDK WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I PRESS NEW GAME IT WAS SHOWING NOTHING
Reply to this commentYou have to use the space bar. the only three inputs are the space, left, and right keys. btw, the info for "High Scores" and "Credits" are displayed in normal type above of the game window. now you can calm down.
Reply to this commentVery good so far could do with some more levels and a bit of sound lie other people have said.

Reply to this commentThis takes me back. I wrote the Trapdoor games for the Spectrum and it's lovely to see Bert (Berk) back on the screen; but my games were ferociously tricky.
Reply to this commentIt took me back to the old days and I loved the old days. It was pretty easy to complete could have had a few more baddies. why is he having a breakdown? lost his job?
Reply to this commentMore levels!!!
Reply to this commenttotally they need more levels...im gonna google level 2!
Reply to this commentgoogle
Reply to this commentsound and a map and it would be perfect!
Reply to this commentHow did you use blender? I'd like to try to create a 3d world of boxes, the player looks down at the boxes. I'm sure I could program it, or create it in blender,. So what did you do? Would it be possible to export a blender file? Or tie in gaming? (don't know much about blender gaming). Also I have a 3d art project that I'd like to recreate on a webpage.

Great game considering its all javascript and HTML 5, right? Don't listen to those who overly criticise, most have never made a thing in their life. Much less with such new technology. More levels and some sound would be great upgrades. Works fine in Chrome on Vista. Using HSI cable the load time wasn't bad either.
Reply to this commentSo, a developer who is looking for feedback from people on a new project shouldn't listen to the people who cannot make the games?
If that were the case, EVERY game would suck.
Reply to this commentToo slow on opera.
Reply to this commentIsn't that the point? To display how fantastic the Chrome rendering and scripting engine performs vs others?
Reply to this commentThat just made me have to reboot...I like it though! :)
Reply to this commentOH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZINGS!
Reply to this commentits really super cute, but do u know what would make it even cuter, sound, baby, sound
Reply to this commentWell, that's true, but as a developer I can tell it's not that easy. Using Flash for audio would be a Sacrilege (though some of the apps at Chrome Experiments do that).
Reply to this commenti like it
Reply to this commentCongratulation excellent job, I really enjoy it. I will like to see the production of the people who criticized your work. 100 points
Reply to this commentyer i think its good 2
Reply to this commentIts great that we could make games based on HTML 5.. :D goooood.
Reply to this commenttakes FOREVER to load. you should fix that.
Reply to this commentthank you
Reply to this commentthis suckzzzzz
Reply to this commentYay! The Trap Door lives!
Reply to this commentIt would be so much better with sound, and the kill zone for the spider is too large, but overall its an awsome game with cute graphics and great animation.
Reply to this commentagreed w/ the spider thing
Reply to this commentwell its great but its true it will better with sounds and more enemies and he could also go swiming
Reply to this commentwow! good good good good experiement game jump over the marsmallow
Reply to this commentIt is not working in IE6 with Chrome Frame. I get an error message: Expected identifier, string or number. In FF3 it is looking great!
Reply to this commentIE 6 sucks man why the hell r u using it
Reply to this commentYou have to take into account that google chrome frame is only a patch... Use google chrome and you'll thank me!
Reply to this commentneeds more work u die when ur nowere near the spider thing
Reply to this commenttotally agree, it annoys the shit out of me
Reply to this commentyeah, i agree, the kill zone of the spider is too large -- you should be able to get closer without dying.

AWESOME! Is Bert made from clay or sprites? He's (she's?) so well rendered! Was it Anim8tor? Or clay?
Reply to this commentIt says in the description he used Blender 3d to make the sprites, and gimp to touch them up.
Reply to this commentHi there!, It looks like you are interested in GIMP. If you would like to download a free trail go to http://www.gimp.org/ .
Thanks! The GIMP Team
"GIMP Ltd" makes me chuckle.
GIMP is a volunteer effort. It is also free, open source software. There is no free trial. It is completely free.
This is game fantastic! The graphics and animations look better than most flash platform games, and it's written in Javascript? Amazing!
Reply to this commentOne way others have been adding sound apparently is through flash. You might be able to do it that way with flex, as that is free and you don't need the full flash pro.
Reply to this commentu need to add more levels
Reply to this commentAwesome! I like it, and like they said, it needs sound :D Otherwise AWESOME!
Reply to this commentEh. You might want to add more effects, FX or SOUND!
Reply to this commentVery good experiment, it could use a little sound though :)
Reply to this commentYeah I agree on hat sound thing...But It needs some cute little sounds for when the things come!
