Nice entry :)

unicornpooping 2012-04-23 19:38

Short. Hope you do more with it. :-)

i found a strange bug, i was stood on the cube that floats upwards and suddenly it propelled into the air and i was stuck on the edge. eventually i teleported back to the checkpoint but yeah. everything else worked fine :)

ahm99 2012-04-23 21:46

If you jump, fall for a bit, hold control, while still falling, jump again then move a direction. When I did that A went flying. It's a weird glitch. You need to reset the platforms when you go back to the checkpoint. Either that or make a restart button.

ahm99 2012-04-23 21:48

Platforms are very bugged.

johnfn 2012-04-23 23:44

Cute game! Would love to see it expanded.

vigrid 2012-04-23 23:46

Once the blocks have fallen down, the game is unbeatable without restart.

sodaware 2012-04-23 23:50

It's a bit frustrating to die and then have to reset the game to recreate the platforms. Presentation is nice though, and the opening lines made me laugh :)

mailman105 2012-04-23 23:51

When the platforms fall, they dont respawn... :(

davidllanos22 2012-04-24 01:03

Pretty basic! Well done :3

spooks 2012-04-24 04:01

Thanks for the comments, I noticed that with the platforms as well, I added them in last minute, and never had enough time to fix. I will update with a fix version soon

spooks 2012-04-24 04:14

Okay fix is in(the quick fix, where it just restarts the level)! Thanks for the find

hybridmind 2012-04-25 01:33

I enjoyed the humor and pixel art. I got a fun glitch by climbing over the left-most barrier in the planet and dying. Then it kept spawning me over and over again below the platform until the game exploded. (This was in the web-updated version.)

kevinworkman 2012-04-25 01:37

Nice little game, could easily become a full game with more levels and some polish. I did see one glitch, but that was because I was screwing around and managed to launch myself off the left side of the screen, which then got stuck in an infinite loop of respawning me under the ground and letting me continually drop to my death!

spooks 2012-04-25 01:46

@Kevin that isn't a glitch...that is the ultimate death! okay okay.. it's a glitch, I will see if I can recreate that problem, do you know which level it was on?

heugamer 2012-04-25 01:55

Like it, but found a bug i died and i kept falling and falling and falling. Then black screen?

fabricio-brito 2012-04-25 02:03

certainly a game worth investing more time in development.
I only had some problems with the raising platforms, because I lost reference after jumping, but not a big deal.
Nice work!

jonnopon3000 2012-04-25 16:56

A platformer is always good, and this is a nice game for 10 hours of work.
The controls are a little too "slidey" to really allow you to enjoy some of the more fiddly jumps in the main game-play world, but I was quite intrigued to see the element of replayability in that the game times your efforts.
Nice job overall.

ratboy2713 2012-04-25 16:58

Really short, simple platformer. Not bad, just short. And never, ever use ctrl and shift as default keys without offering alternatives. Sticky keys, they are annoying.

spooks 2012-04-25 18:35

@ratboy2713 Thanks you for that observation, I never even thought about that (my sticky keys are shut off)! I will definitely make alternative keys next time!

jimmypaulin 2012-04-25 19:34

This was fun! Nice and self contained, a complete experience with *plot* and a compelling "just one more go" quality, like it. I enjoy the low res art with good colour palette. Good controls and feel and appropriate sound fx as well

hulahulahest 2012-04-25 21:17

The controls are rather slippery, and collision detection/platforms is extremely glitchy; not a good sign in a platform game. The graphics are fine, but the game is a bit short.

adventureislands 2012-04-25 21:19

Cute but very very short. It's alright.

chaos_viper 2012-04-25 21:32

Good game!! The graphics is very nice! Pity that it's a little bit short, but well done :).. Only one thing: On the mac (i try the Web release) the ctrl button plus the arrows keys is the shortcut for change spaces. If you can change the ctrl button with another ;).. however, Good job..... and continue to develop it! ;)

skullsoft 2012-04-26 00:04

Nice little bit of fun! Points for making it a complete experience. Those upward platforms were a nice twist!

fatsquirrel 2012-04-26 00:05

I like your sprites. Good job for only 10 hours!

pinkmonkeyhead 2012-04-26 00:27

Nice game! But it's so short... :(

orunbot 2012-04-26 19:47

I had fun. Penalty for dying is a high one.

cakencode 2012-04-27 02:56

That was cute, if a bit short. The wise man's humor was probably my favourite part. The platforming was solid and the jumping worked but the upwards moving platforms felt a bit off since they dragged the character instead of accelerating him.

Overall it was fun though! The time statistic was unexpected but good.

someguy22 2012-04-28 14:52

Haha funny ending! Nice job, hope you expand it!

ad-edge 2012-04-29 03:38

Nice little game, a bit lacking in innovation though, and a bit short.

birchmountain 2012-04-30 10:02

Im a huge fan of platformers and i must say i enjoyed playing this one! Quite challenging and when the old man in the end that he could do it better it really made me want to play more!

endurion 2012-05-02 18:24

Very nice graphics, and not bad for 10 hours.
The floating platforms are quite buggy and it's a tad on the short side ;)

gregdevice 2012-05-03 05:02

Nice Job! Like the graphics and it seems you have a good story line in the works. I like how your time and item count is added to the dialog.

lanoiadimuu 2012-05-05 14:28

A bit short, but really fun entry.

ghribacki 2012-05-06 04:59

Haha! Amusing game! Too bad it is so short, but really nice. =)

azurenimbus 2012-05-10 19:44

It's a shame, but the ctrl is a really bad choice of button for Mac users, since CTRL+any arrow key changes the screen you're on. Really nice looking game, though.
