This looks pretty good. I'll vote when I can. You can check out my game if you want.

Plays really smoothly and collision is great. Game itself gets sort of boring, though. I really enjoy the graphics, however.

I think those mechanics are common. Overall, it's fine.

I enjoyed the music, and your little ninja graphic is pretty cute.

Adorable, but get repeating fast.

I like the ninja.

HelkeGames 2013-04-29 15:07

Love the ninja, good game!

Very entertaining, I can't get bored with this simple platformers. And the map was huge, I got lost a few times >.<

The controls are a little floaty, but otherwise its a solid platformer.

I really liked your ninja sprite!

I found a potato!

I really love the graphics and music! Good job! :)

D33jay:
Thanks! It was hard for me to make a minimal game without it getting boring, so I tried to make the map huge to compensate.

Ludipe:
Thanks, I was trying to make the map huge to make it more fun, I'm glad to see that it worked!

PurpleMoustache:
I'll keep that in mind for next time.

luch174:
Good job!

Fun little game. I fell in love in the music though. For all I know it doesn't fit... but it feels great and set the chilled-out mood for the game. Good job!

I liked it but I think song 2 is very inferior to song 1 and I think game would have been better with a simple jump sound effect.

Still oddly fun/calm. Good mood good take on the theme of minimalism.

Pretty cool, I liked the jazzy music kept me interested. I only got 20 points but it was some pretty solid gameplay. Nice one!

tehskull 2013-05-02 02:25

Doesn't have anything to keep my interest. Needs a minimap. The music doesn't loop well in the slightest. (Not to knock the quality of the music, because it's GREAT.)

Challenging little game, some of those orbs have to be approached the right way. Good controls, great pixel art, music is really cool but like it has been said before not really suited. Needs some sort of effect to show the spawnpoint has been saved. Well Done =]

I won this game, though it took some time. It would be nice to have a minimap, 'cause when there are less than 5 trinkets left, it gets quite frustrating to find the remaining ones. Also would nice to end the game after you found all the trinkets (+ the potato).

Btw, I did find the potato before finding the trinkets, though I couldn't do anything with it. Does something happen if I get to the potato after finding all the trinkets?

Anyway, really nice graphics and great mood. The music is also great, though it gets a little annoying over time.

Well done! :)

Overall: 4; Innovation: 2; Fun: 3; Theme: 5; Graphics: 5; Audio: 3; Humor: N/A; Mood:4.

Alucard J:
Thanks! A spawnpoint effect was something that was out because of time, but I would have put in time allowing :(

MegaBrutal:
I'm thinking that a minimap would be good, but not nessicarly to show the orbs, for that I'd take a Knytt style effect over a minimap. (If you haven't played knytt, play it *now*)
Nothing happens when you find the potato, even if you have all the orbs. I wanted to put in something awesome, but I didn't have enough time.
You an press M to mute the music, but I forgot to mention that :(

Thanks for the ratings!

detocroix 2013-05-09 20:09

I found the tato! Did you make the music by yourself? :)

nsmurf 2013-05-10 01:38

Detocroix:
Good job! I didn't make the music, one of my friends did, all within the time limit :)
The music was the only reason that I was in the jam, everything was done in 48 hours.

Fun and huge! There are points where I got lost...
