Liked the basic platforming elements, but it was almost too simple. First game I've played with music. In Ludum Dare 20, not like, ever - that would be silly. Liked how the theme played into the story, and how the story was used as a motivator. Would have liked a more epic finale.

I like how the use of the theme had a subtle way of materializing. Nice :)
The falling rock/god laugh sound, though, had me getting up to see if my drain was clogged every time X-) Sounded just like my kitchen sink backfiring.

Thanks :)
Sound, Music and Sprites are definitively my worst part in developing games.
Well, everything the user sees :P
I mainly work in teams, so I don't have to do any graphics myself ^^

And that's pretty much the only SFX effect I had in the game (Except in the retro world, these were generated)

Anyways, thank you for the comments :)
I appreciate them.

Entering my name as 'Milo, The Destroyer' bolstered my ego a lot. By far the most polished game I've seen yet. Great job!

Thanks :)

Nice game with some fun platforming and a cool story.
I think you should try and move away from gamemaker though, not that there is anything wrong with it per say, but you seam to know how to make games and I think your games would benefit a lot from it, since games made in gamemaker do have a certain cheap gamemaker shell feel to them.

Great effort.

The "other dimension" level lagged a bit, but it was still passable.

The extermination level was really punishing, those pendulums were murder.

Congrats on submitting!

@jsmars
Yes, I'm actually currently learning C++ and java.

@Dark Acre Jack
Yeah, I expected someone to lag at that level because it's autotiled.

Thanks for the comments :)

I liked the graphics. I found the last level a bit frustrating, especially because I didn't get to keep the hearts I collected in the previous level.

I liked how you changed the game between dimensions and the dialogs between the player and the other characters. However I didn't understand the importance of the torch but also I didn't finish the game so I can't judge that.

Good luck with the compo.

@Arielsan
Then you missed pretty much the whole story ;)

Neat little game with a story to top it off.
Well done :)
