Congratulations on finishing your game!
The game seems to run very fast. Jumping feels clunky. I am unable to survive the first level :( Can't really see what my time and points are.
It isn't explained how to kill the goblins. You kill them simply by touching them, but they can still fire at you at point blank range.
Do the candy canes give you health? I didn't really notice anything...
Thanks for your input, I'll look into it to make it better
Really nice work on the sprites, congrats on your first LD! I was not able to get very far because I cant seem to jump far enough to make it over the first big gap. The graphics are good, the main problem is feels like gravity is pulling down too fast and applying a constant velocity rather then acceleration, does that make sense? If you are already entering this as a jam, you should take a bit more time today and tweak the jump/gravity so it feels better.
I just uploaded a new one with the jumping fixed.
Be sure you run for long jumps
Norton 360 flagged this as malware. Chrome closed and there is no reason to have an installer for one JAR file. Sorry but I am not going to run a game that comes with malware.
The place where I uploaded it seems to have changed some things, so I moved it to another place.
The game run's really slow on machine and It's no sloucher. Considering that another developer stated that game ran too fast, I'm guessing that the timing of you game may be based on CPU speed, rather than based on actual time passed. If you are not checking the amount of time past since the last frame was drawn and updating everything based on that time span, this could be the reason for the speed issues.
Also, for some reason I couldn't jump more than about one blocck high, so I really couldn't get far.
Fine, fine, except I'm falling through this first moving platform!
