i really liked the background. with some dreamy music it'd be super. overall, nice little job.

Cute little entry. I'll go easy on you, since I can't program at all. My easiest improvement would be to have spent just a wee bit more time on the graphics, even half an hour, to make the main character be a smiling critter with a hat or something. Maybe 7 lines of text would establish a meta-joke that you're stuck in an Atari, just to turn the retro look into humor.

hehe thank you! I can't wait to start another compo; i've learned so much lately :)

Cool backgrounds!

The graphics don't bother me in the least. I'd suggest making the character move a bit faster, but I guess that's more of a subjective thing.

I liked how much depth the background added. Nice job for your first time.

Hehe, this was my first LD too. As simple as it is, it's still a game, part of the 1K plus made in just a weekend. Remember that you already won just by making a game. Think about those who will never make one. Nice job dude :)

For a first attempt - you've got jumping, moving platforms and parallax backgrounds (always a must!). Congrats!

Cool be cool, but isn't quite there, unfortunately.

Background is really cool :)

Is there any way to play it without unity web player?

elvis75k 2012-05-03 23:12

@Terrified Virus: download the zip (windows) and run the .exe

Like others have said, you've got the basics here which is great, but they need something else to make this a playable game.

I love the character graphics, actually. :) But when I do it one more time, nothing happens!
