Hey i like this! A little hard but... Cool overall :D
@Foxtacy Thanks! Yup it's a little hard but I work'd a lot on it so thanks for playing and hope you enjoy!
Hey man, amazing game. Very funny. I like the humor. "Super Meat Boy feelings". Great job! =) Oh, its very hard game LoL =)
Great man! The first level was like IMPOSSIBLE, died like 40 times, but then i really started enjoying the game. Cool game.
I jumped, and then my character immediately disappeared.
@MarekkPie What explorer are you using? There is some bugs coming from Chrome for Linux. And in what moment was the character disappeared?
For me I hit the ground in the first level after jumping and the character disappeared, I'm using chrome for windows.
@kevincorrigan I've set a new key "R" to Respawn the character like normally, so if you get stuck or the character disappears, just press R :)
I thought the intro was humorous but the first level is simply too hard. The main problem is there doesn't appear to be any soft jumping. You either are not jumping or you're jumping the maximum height. At the same time I found it very difficult to move while in the air. All of this combines to make it seemingly impossible (at least for me) to clear the level. I think simply adding the ability to soft jump (as is typically seen in platformers) would make a huge difference. Other than that, I thought the art style had a nice vibe -- though a bit too similar to Super Meat Boy -- and the music was charming.
Way too hard. Wasn't able to get far enough to see any evolution theme. :(
Kind of hard
Way too hard. You almost can't control the character when in the air, so most jumps are really hard to make.
Very very funny, but also very very hard!
Loved the not play option on the title screen and the opening cutscene.
Gave up on beating the first level after only a few tries. I'm sure I could beat it, but it was very frustrating.
Hey man, cool level design, unfortunately i had too hard of a time getting past the first two jumps lol, lookin forward to checkin out your source tho, i think if maybe you scaled the viewpoint down so you could see a smaller piece of the level, it would give the level a bit more of a sense of depth,
@aschearer Woah thanks. I'm hyped because you liked my art style and the music (was my first time composing and you like it? It's a miracle!!) :)
@sclark39 @NedortGames @Rellikiox I think I will modify it to be more easy but the first "good thing" of this game is his difficulty :(
I will give you an advice:
DON'T CARE! Jump and run like if the world ends tomorrow!
A very challenging game that fits into the theme very well!
IDK About the rest of you, but I died the most on the second level, mostly from holding left arrow when I respawn...
I was able to make it to level 3. The first level was overly difficult because the controls felt loose. I think it is maybe the player acceleration that felt off.
There are a lot of grammatical errors in the text.
Ragequit.jpeg :P
Funny intro, but I couldn't proceed in the actual game basically at all, kept dying on the third jump so just gave up.
@gamblore Yup I modified the player acceleration after the third level :) To make it more easy. And about the grammatical errors in the text, I know. The reason of why there are these grammatical errors is because the English is not my native language, so I don't dominate it at all :P
Thanks for playing!
@Cell You made a smile in my face, thanks for playing!
Poor level design, and i don't just mean difficult. There's no "scaling" of difficulty, and often the levels depend on really cheap tactics to make a level really hard. I'm also pretty upset because I forced myself to play through this game just so I could give a rating only to get stuck on the last boss because of a glitch: http://imgur.com/Ytm0n can't move. :(
*Made the first level a bit more easy.
@Fritzendugan You probably get bad luck on the boss :( but yes this needs a fix!
I really liked the innovation with showing the places you have died. I was enjoying the game for a few minutes, but I fell through the floor and that broke the game. :(
I got to the third level, but it was really difficult. Half of the problem was intended difficulty, the other half was because my character repeatedly froze in midair for fractions of second and glitched through blocks. Good idea though, and I love impossible games.
Cool game! It reminds me of Super Meat Boy :)
Fffffruussstratioooooon ...
GOD I'M SOO PISSED RIGHT NOW!!! I DON'T WANNA BE THE GUY!!
I don't like these kind of games, but having seen many of them, I can tell this is of a good quality. loved the dialogs and the humor!
I'm not sure what it has to do with evolution, maybe it has at the end. But I'm not gonna finish this game, sure as hell :D
Reminds me a bit of "You Probably Won't make it" :)
This is hard as hell m8
Cool game, good controls and nicely designed levels. :)
Hard.
Definitely needs a learning curve, I found it really difficult. I like the spewing black effect though.
I love the "Not Play" screen :D The controls are just too annoying for me to keep playing though :p Maybe that's the point though...
Good Game ! Misgard !
But I don't see where the evolution theme appears !
Too much hard for me :)
The game was challenging, yet not too hard. Graphics were nice and clean, but the controls were a bit unusual, they worked pretty good in conjuntion with the levels though.
Very hard. The collisions glitched for me, so I fell through the floor a few times.
Graphics and Sound vere pretty good, and the plot was funny.
Mabye you should include clicking with the mouse in the controls? It was not obvious that I had to click to start and I thought the game was glitching.
I found it a bit too hard, and I got stuck in a wall. I found the scene at the start funny. For your first time making music it was pretty good.
Good job! I enjoied it a lot, its the first time I like the death's mark mechanics keep on going :)
Funny... I just kept dieing though
Nice, but very hard gameplay :)
Super hard. I got 70 deaths on the third level. I have a headache now.
Other than that, great game!
I couldn't get past the first level D: Nice graphics and audio though.
uff; this is a little hard. and reminded my of "super meat boy". which is good! :-)
just searched for "meat" in the comments befor pressing "save": yes, not the only one that is reminded by it... :-)
**** SPEEDRUN VELOW (VIEW ON YOUTUBE) ****
If you can't accomplish all the levels and need something to see how is the game, view the following speedrun video :)

Wow, very hard indeed! Reminds me a lot of Super Meat Boy. Nice game, good job.
Hilarious! Great job, though it was a little too difficult. Actually quite a lot too difficult.
But evolution!
Hard and simple
The evolution in this game is how the main character (the creature you move) is evolutioning each 3 levels. Starting with no legs, no arms and a small size and ending with legs, arms and a big size.
I died two times and then I fell off the screen! but it's a funny game :D
I really didn't like the blatant references to internet memes, I personally felt that it cheapened the game.
The game itself is alright though, a decent classic plat former with some difficulty to challenge the player.
This game is really hard... and that's coming from a die hard Super Meat Boy player. :) It's fun though. I really like the particle effects you use to show where the player died, and the humor in the game. I do wish that you could control your jump height, I think the controls would feel a lot more natural that way.
Super neat, boy!
In safari I keep falling through the ground, which added another layer of impossibility.
Well, I'm up to 64 deaths in Level 2, I have to give up, sorry. The screenshot for the boss looks cool, wish I could have seen it. The jump physics is pretty buggy and the difficulty is way too hard, but otherwise a great game! I thought leaving the death markers was kind of annoying at first, but after I'd died 10 times it was kind of cool to look back and see where.
I can't deal with it...
Cool game, reminds me of Super Meat Boy. Nice style on the pixel graphics. Game definitly was hard - I though the controls made it tough. I think arrows to move + space to jump would be easier to control. Nice work! ;)
SFX is nice. Song gets a little annoying after a while.
But... I guess I have to deal with it.
Challenging, but neat!
By the time I finish the first level the screen is spraying black everywhere.
Holy crap I made it past the first level! I feel accomplished =)
I thought the intro was a little annoying, but a cheap way to get more gameplay in a short amount of time (that's a compliment!). The platform parts were pretty fun, but the controls could be a bit more responsive. I gave up half way through the second level after finally making it to the top of the ladder and then dying. Hard isn't exactly the right word--I knew exactly what to do, but the responsiveness made it harder than it needed to be. Impressive for 48 hours, though!
The first level is hardest.
Good stuff, so hard though.
Made me think of Super Meat Boy.
People do tell me I made hard games. But this is harder than any ludum game I played. I particularly like the sticky death animation, but there is some small level design issues. Nice game overall.
I died once and it froze/stopped there.. But it was awesome for the few moments i played. Excellent jumping, smooth! I refreshed it and didn't want to sit through the talking at the start again. But I did.
I fell through the floor in the first level and couldn't respawn. :(
Too brutal for me, sorry man.
Is it normal to have so much black squirting on the screen that I can't see the level anymore? Great job. I wish the guy was a little bigger and I wish I was better at video games.
I think you have a collision glitch that let me go through the floor.
mario style jumps (height of the jumps are determined by how long you push the jump key) would have improved the controls a lot
apart from that, a solid little game - very challanging without becoming frustrating
I loved it, and I finished it (with something like 300 deaths ;))Great idea not to let the blood dissapear, bot to show you how often you died already. And indeed it hides some of the geometry if you die too often :) Good Job!
Wow, really hard game. I wish there were checkpoints. Could not complete the 1st level (next time maybe make the progression from easy to hard more gradual - to pull the user in.)
Nice gfx and music though, although I had to squint.
Ahh yes, the ever-popular 'masochistic platformer'. Made one of these myself. Good stuff! The music's a bit repetitive, though.
HARD AS HELL!
Kind hard :p
Not bad. I agreed with others at first that the mid-air control was very annoying, but if you get use to it you can exploit it to good effect.
Also, I agree that the difficulty ramp-up could be tweaked. I thought that levels 3 and 5 were (don't shoot me) way too easy. I did level 5 in three tries.
I gave up. But it was fun. :)
It looked easier in your video... :)
Erm, am I supposed to fall off the first few tiles after jumping too many times? Bug?
Not play option is hilarious
Hahaha. Pretty funny. Nice game! Good challenge level.
sooo many oil showers!
Pretty difficult, but it was also a fun little game. I admit that I never made it past level 2, though.
I LOVE the "Not Play" screen. :)
Has stuck issue (and R not work like others) too.
Was sad to see this become a platformer, but I really dug the start. Bro.
- Andrew
Can't even go passed the first level!
I got to level 2 before giving up. Super hard. Died about 50 times. Really well made game though. Controls are tight and do what you want, which is basically all you can ask for from a platformer.
Extremely difficult straight from the start :D
I think I liked the art in the intro better than the actual game.
I'm experiencing visual lag spikes every 10 seconds or so. During this time frame seems to be when the character disappears or will sometimes allow the character to jump significantly higher.
Nice litte platformer, a bit too hard, yeah, and special thanks for the mute button :-) Needs some introductory levels perhaps.
I quiet liked this; it reminded me quite a lot of super meat boy! The humour added some nice touches too - great job on the whole thing :)
First, thanks for all the comments! This has been a full work weekend and for sure your comments are making feel me really satisfied, completed, happy!
I really SORRY for all the people that are having problems playing but I don't know what is happening in other browsers that are not Chrome... A little percent of people have the problem of crossing the platforms.. but I need to see the bug to fix it and I really tested but nothing happens.. for me the game runs fine.
So I will continue working on bug fixes but I don't promise anything :(
too hard for me, i should stop now before something bad happens to my PC :D
nice from you to add a gameplay video
I can't believe people are complaining about level 1!! Cmon, guys, is not that difficult... At least, not level 1.
Great game also! very addictive
Yep its hardcore. But timeless particle engine isn't good idea :) It loads CPU and doesn't looks good.
Fun but quite hard :X
Great game,but i'm terrible at platformer's so even after the speedrun I died like a million times.Still very addictive
The horizontal acceleration is a bit odd. I found the last three levels easier than the first ones, but may be I get used to the controls.
bah- i died like 30 times trying to beat the first level!
I do like the meat-boy effect seeing where you died the previous attempts but I think the level design needs help. First level feels more like a medium-hard scale level - should have introduced easier levels first maybe
This surely was tough! And all the old attempts keep on reminding you of your failure by constantly spewing blood.
The beginning of the game is the funniest I have seen.
Good game.
So.. what can I say.
Ludum Dare 24th is over and I really give all my THANKS to all who gived a chance to my little game. For the second time I think the things have gone a lot better than the first time (a total fail, yeah).
So really thanks for playing and for commenting. I'm thinking to do an extended-free of important bugs-more cool at any time of this year. I'm working in an other project now but I promise that I will make a remake of this game when I acquire more experience.
As I see my poor rating is on the Theme rating. But yeah I will not say this is wrong because I haven't any idea at the beginning :)
Really really reeeeeeeeally thanks to all the comments and all who played my game and I hope to see you in another Ludum Dare edition!
If you liked my work or just you like following people, search for me @MidgardT :) I don't tweet really interesting things but you will be tunned for any game I do.
Regards,
Midgard :)
