honestly, if those were the only mechanics and you'd extended the level a bit, i think it would've been fine as a complete submission. good 3d work for a short amount of time!

Osgeld

wow, how many things did that install?

jazmeister

Big install, man! I can see where you're going with it. Keep working on it!

Or just hold W to fly :)
Not a fan of the installer, but I understand why it exists at least :P
Would have been nice to see this go further, looks pretty good.

I would prefer it if you had a regular zip rather than an installer for this. Great 3D work on this! :)

setup.exe - no thanks.

Pretty ambitious for 48 hours. the installer's many runtime redistributables were annoying, and the first time I ran it it complained about needing "pixel shader 2.0" even though i've got a pretty recent gfx card, but i ran it again and it worked.

I really like the idea of a platformer with a rescuing game mechanic, and the art was cute and a good fit for the theme. Unfortunately the game was pretty incomplete (i know how that goes), but lots of potential, next time go with a simpler engine/framework.

Nice installer :)

All the models show up black and it's really sluggish. The latter is probably cause of my FX5500.

Looks like the idea of a nice platformer, but it's not really playable as such.

Couldn't get it to run yet. Rating pending.

Setup is loading installation components. This may take FOREVER!

Then... "Setup Error".

How many components are there?! I feel like I'm checkboxing my soul over to Microsoft.

After all that, I was looking forward to the cute dragons... but all I get are black dragon silhouettes. Woe is my graphics card. It's not really a bad one, though...

Mediafire.com + setup = trouble + annoying. Might try later.

I had some installer nightmares- I second preferring a zip.

There's nothing wrong with the design of the game, but it felt really incomplete (my entry also had this problem).

Still, I admire your ambition here.

Mediafire?

Although I understand why you had to include an installer, you should have at least try to detect if the packages aren't already installed on the computer, if so you triggered the repair/uninstall dialog.

The game seems a bit lacking.
