Great idea to teleport to the other side of the screen :)
A really innovative game! Awesome!
Awesome game. And a lot of levels/screens as well. Fun, well balanced and a really nice concept!
Woow, excellent! It started out pretty interesting, and just as it was starting to get boring you introduced new concepts which kept it fun the whole way through. :D
Loved the puzzles with the dead bodies!
My screen is 768 tall and game 828 tall :(
Really creative mechanic, well done on the stage design!
Thanks for the comments, everyone! :)
@Almost: I've tossed in a feature just for you. Press 's' in game to make the game Smaller - 400x400. (I feel like this revision is valid since I feel that not fitting inside a computer's resolution is a game killing bug. Let me know if you disagree.) If you're on a mac, unfortunately I won't have the feature out for you until tomorrow, but it's up on the windows version. Let me know how this works for you :)
fun!
Very innovative.
I really liked the idea, screen size was kind of a bad choice (I know you can make it smaller, but that was way too small) I dunno about the dead bodies, I couldn't make it that far, is there some tip to get past the first screen with the 3 enemies?
@nuria: The trick to get past the enemies is to wait until they start to turn before you jump over them, because their line of sight is diminished for a little bit. If you think it would be better, I can make the screen size 1.5x - just let me know. It's really important to get to the dead body dropping, since that's the best part! :D
Teleporting idea puts this among better games in the compo. It got pretty hard quite fast, but I enjoyed it.
Neat mechanic which I enjoyed. I got a glitch where some gold blocks would pass to the next screen and were unobtainable however. It did get quite tough and there seems to be a few "pointless" screens (the guard down the bottom... is there anything to do in there except avoid?) but that might just be me.
A fun playthrough though. Thanks!
Very nice innovation here.
Hey @Dogbomb: the gold thing is actually not a glitch - it's a visual indicator of how much gold you have on the heads up display (like health). I only realized that this wasn't super obvious after the compo - oops. (And depending on which screen it is, there's almost always a point, and it always involves gold...) Thanks for covering me in your video :)
Fell through the scenery at one point and the game crashed. Innovative, fun idea.
Very nice. I stayed up too late playing this. I used ubuntu/pygame/vim too, but your game turned out much better :)
This is fun! the mechanic is brainy, soundtrack is nice and fitting, annd the commentary is brilliant.
Little nitpick: The ui looks like it's part of the level, and the level-design does ramp up extremely fastin difficulty.
Great game, one of my favorites so far. Good graphics, music, and - of course - gameplay.
Seems like I died too often (I'm bad at platformers) - the game just exited with an error suddenly after I was hit by an enemy. Here is the log:
