I like the simple graphics, and controls works well. Theme fits okay. Good work!

davidllanos22 2012-04-23 12:24

Great graphics :)

jeroenimooo 2012-04-23 12:24

Love the jumping on beds!

tumaini 2012-04-23 12:25

The game ran well and the controls worked fine, although I was unsure of what to do.
After getting a yellow key in the first room, I went out to the right to explore and when I got back I couldn't open that door anymore (it was not closed again).
The sounds were a bit random (not everytime you jumped e.g.), but a nice game none the less!

tentontoon 2012-04-23 13:36

The controls and the concept are both quite solid.
The 'jump' sound effect ended up being quite grating. And the backtracking after jumping down "the pit" and getting the double jump is a total turn off. Also, I think it would have benefitted from a more forgiving bounding box.
By the way: that's QUITE a house the guy lives in! :)

These graphics are incredible (in the first room, at least!) Love it! Sounds match perfectly. Gameplay was a little shaky (I also got stuck outside the first room) - but more time and you would have fixed all that. What game engine did you use?

Amazing work!

andrew-marsh 2012-04-23 13:46

Works reasonably well, the sounds were slightly annoying though.

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 13:49

Lol. And I just played through the game for the first time on my own. Only one spot was messed up just after you get the white key when you go to the next room it puts you at the wrong entrance. But other than that, everything works! And I was able to collect all the collectibles too. I'll chalk this game up as a success! Yay this was so much fun to make. :-)

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 13:51

I used Multimedia Fusion 2 to make the game. And the sounds I guess get repetitive. Sorry :-/ This was my first game, so I didn't know what to expect. I also agree that the graphics in the first room are awesome. They are the only ones I had to time to really complete because I was only able to work on the game half the time instead of all 48 hours. But i'll finish the rest of the graphics eventually.

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 13:53

Where are you guys getting stuck? You should keep going right and when you reach the orange room there is a blue key. Then you use the blue key to get the red key, then the red key to get to the basement, then in the basement you get the double jump, then with the double jump you can get anywhere. You can then collect lots of keys and should be able to access everything.

kitch 2012-04-23 14:53

The graphics work great for the game. Solid controls/collision for a platformer.

toast 2012-04-23 14:59

Hey man this was a fun little game, the overall concept was a little safe but it was still enjoyable.

kane 2012-04-23 15:10

I like the design and the size of this "tiny" world :3

ahm99 2012-04-23 15:52

Great game. Good job

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 15:55

Def played it safe Toast. I knew I was limited in my time, only had 20 or so hours in which to actually do anything. And it was my first game too. But thanks! Also your game was fantastic. Played it some more a few minutes ago :-)

ahm99 2012-04-23 16:00

I just finished and I really liked it.

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 16:54

Thanks! :-) What did you like and not like about it?

the8donut 2012-04-23 18:08

Very polished retro-looking platform. Good job!

matheus23 2012-04-23 19:18

would be fun, if you would have continued that graphical style.. but as I read it seems that that was, because of your missing time...

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 19:22

Yup. I had planned on doing more, but my work schedule got screwed up and I had to do that instead :-/ I'm still really happy with the outcome :-)

chinchang 2012-04-23 19:34

the small lil character was good. Nice effort on the level design.

alwaysgeeky 2012-04-23 19:56

Simple but nice graphics.

graytest 2012-04-23 19:58

Simple and fun with nice graphics. Good job!

piterlouis 2012-04-23 20:31

Nice, good control but where is my gold arrow???! XD

unicornpooping 2012-04-24 03:03

Wait, what is the gold arrow?

lidfrid 2012-04-24 12:00

Love the graphics...but fire damage is too sensible :( I rage-quit after the fifth time!

unicornpooping 2012-04-24 12:04

What would you rather have instead? Three hearts or something?

gornova 2012-04-24 12:58

I don't like level design, levels seems to be empty

unicornpooping 2012-04-24 16:02

Yeah, that's due to lack of time to do the graphics i had planned. If you get down to the basement it's quite lovely I think :-)

adventureislands 2012-04-24 20:34

Nice, simple graphics but the stages are so empty and long and without any music they become bit of a chore to travel around.

omaha 2012-04-24 21:03

I could get the character to jump once or twice, then he would be stuck and I had to restart the app.

Seemed to get stuck in difference places each time i tried. I really wish i could have picked up that key!

unicornpooping 2012-04-24 22:38

really? you got stuck? weird. do you know which key you got stuck trying to get?

marudziik 2012-04-24 23:34

Graphics certainly fit the theme! As others had pointed out, some music would make this game much better.

jrasmussen24 2012-04-25 05:53

Lots of content in there, especially considering the time limit. Really nicely done!

blob 2012-04-25 08:48

Got stuck with the golden arrow too ( when you get to the basement on the way to acquire the double jump, there s an arrow that makes you jump high once. After it disappears, forever).

omarshehta 2012-04-25 10:36

Wow, despite you making this in only 24 hours, this game seems pretty big!

I liked how I could explore the vast worlds, and even if one way was blocked off, I could still keep going. I only quit at the part where there was that arrow that launched you into the arrow for only one time, and I didn't feel like backtracking all the way to choose another path.

Awesome job though!

unicornpooping 2012-04-25 11:56

Oh! The arrow! That's when you acquire double jump! Yeah rushed through that part.

ghribacki 2012-04-26 02:59

A piece of piano music with it would go great! I love the graphics! =)

hamburger 2012-04-26 06:01

Hey man, really nicely laid out levels! I happily played to the end. I'd enjoy seeing a post-compo version with music and hopefully more levels.

dukope 2012-04-26 08:50

Fun little platformer with solid controls. I enjoyed exploring. Would've liked some way to see what keys/coins I had. Great pixel art.

unicornpooping 2012-04-26 15:22

All the data is in their to tell you what keys you have and coins and such. I just didn't have time to implement it. The game actually keeps track of how many times you die as well as what you collect. I'm thinking of implementing it at the end of the game which would give you something to shoot for. With 3 different endings depending on what you collect and maybe how many times you die. I'd really like to actually tighten all the levels up too. We will see. I'm glad you liked it though!

daandruff 2012-04-26 17:16

Not bad at all for 24 hours. I like this kind of graphical style and it felt like a solid entry :)

uuav 2012-04-26 17:20

enjoyable little game

wademcgillis 2012-04-26 20:00

YOUR DOUBLE JUMPING ONLY WORKS FOR CERTAIN THINGS IF YOU HIT IT AT THE EXACT TIME, OTHERWISE YOU GET ONLY ONE PIXEL OFF AND GRRRRRRR!!!!


I like the game though. Could have used some music.

unicornpooping 2012-04-26 20:47

Yeah. I only entered at last minute know full well I'd only be able to work half the time. Music went by the wayside :-(

Simple but nice graphics. Good sound except double jump sound got a bit annoying. The level design was a bit too open for my tastes as it got overwhelming and I felt like I wasn't sure if I was going the right way or not most of the time. Lots of cool little gameplay elements packed into 48 hours that were quite fun to play with. Good work getting this out there!

unicornpooping 2012-04-27 02:14

Thanks! I agree with everything you said :-)

ehtd 2012-04-29 15:11

Good game! Liked the control feel, very responsive.

Maybe throw in some enemies.

summaky 2012-05-05 16:30

Your "tiny" world is quite big, huh? I think it is impressive for a game made in just 24 hours. I whish it had some music, though.

unicornpooping 2012-05-05 21:38

I whish it had music too :-/

pixel_3 2012-05-06 22:02

wow. for being made in 24 hours, it sure is a long game.

derosa 2012-05-07 02:16

Nice retro style, but I'm not very good at this kind of games :)

azurenimbus 2012-05-13 02:48

Yo dawg I herd you like precision jumping.

ahm99 2012-05-14 20:22

I just beat it again and it is still fun : )
