Noooo! File not found!
Neither Windows nor Linux version links are online. Source works, but I can't do much with it...
Windows link is up now :)
I was having a few problems with the libraries I'm using.
A few sprite and collision errors but other than that, very fun game! (:
The graphics are really slick and clean. I like the trees especially, but the gameplay is really basic. I got bored of running and jumping and dying over and over. Also, the player moon walks. It's kinda hilarious.
I must admit that... I rage-quited on the "first?) "soul" level... .. . XD congratulation for the rest btw :D
Running and jumping is fun for a moment..but after that I was waiting something, anything! to happen...
Anyway, I find the ambiance interesting,I played it in Runner mod(never stop running) which was fun and I'm jealous of the fact that you got a level editor! Good work!
Nice game ;)
I was confused at the start since it said the controls were Q and D(in actuality they are A and D). Also the controls are a bit all over the place and that made it quite difficult for me to sprint, move, and jump at the same time.
Yes, it was a typo I made because on my keyboard (french AZERTY), the A is a Q. I'm correcting it :)
But for the rest of the controls, it seems to me that A and D to move,shift for running and space for jumping are pretty standart.
Pretty nice game :D I liked the graphics. Simple gameplay, but I spend a good time :)
The gameplay itself wasn't really that interesting anymore after a few levels, but it was still a fun game. Such a shame there isn't any sound! (Although I saw sound files in ZIP file?)
Good job.
The levels were too long, I died too often and had to restart everything D: Difficult but fun.
The linux binary wouldn't run for me on Ubuntu. I downloaded the source but am not sure how to compile it. If you are willing to provide it, I'd be interested in a makefile or a readme explaining how to compile.
great game! nice to see the game moving :) it's very enjoyable but too hard for me, the character have not enough friction. i like the art btw very colorful.
Hi there, here's some feedback.
What I loved :
- dynamic gameplay (fun to play)
- background effort
- character animations
What imo could be improved :
- more of the background in the actual drawings/gameplay
- levels are too long / lack checkpoints (I gave up on a particulary long one, I died just before the exit)
- collisions are really unpermissive >.<
- clouds blue outline have a strange color
- more variety in levels (since I did not finish, sry if there was something I missed !)
good overall, thanks for the game !
Hey, thank you all for the nice comments :D
@Blearn: You need to have Allegro 5 installed in order to compile or run the game. I lacked the time to make a static build (but I am currently trying to do it), so if you want to run the game, you need to follow these instructions: http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Ubuntu_and_Allegro_5
I loved the visual part (tiles and the character), it's nice you took the time to write a story too. But I have encountered some bugs : the player walks backward, sometimes the run mode is activated without me pushing shift key, some tiles doesn't show up (exit door) and sounds aren't playing (on windows 7 at least).
It's pretty hard too, made to level 4 but I then gave up. I think you should consider making an easier game for your next LD (or maybe it's just me sucking with platformers...). Or maybe putting some checkpoints in the level would solve it ?
Nice graphics. Maybe a bit more polished and could be a full game. Good entry!
The game starts out good, but got tedious very quickly; with a default slow movement and a weak jump, coupled with the long levels with an instant restart all the way to the beginning, the game got quite frustrating. Consider checkpoints, more stronger jump/run abilities so that the player is not impeded so much in avoiding obstacles.
Some nice level design! (Fiendish, too). Would have been great with some music/sfx. Controls felt polished, very playable. Nice job!
Fun, although those 'thwomps' become annoying after the nth kill :) Controls seemed a little cramped. Arrow keys might have been a better choice.
i liked the vibe, and the graphics, while not amazing had a nice analogous color scheme, which I found appealing.
the controls were pretty solid and definitely minimal.
Definitely the best platformer I played on this LD. Jumping is implemented very well, collision works perfectly, camera is smooth, really good and challenging level design. Amazing. =D
This could really use some sound, though... And later levels could have some checkpoints.
I love this game!!! You made your very own Mario and its awesome, congrats. Sweet touch on the idle. I would have loved to have lives and start all over at the beginning for a challenge. Excellent Job!
Good game. Really missed the sounds. (You included 2, never heard any). The graphics looked great and the gameplay was smooth. When you get near to the level's border, the camera jumps really strange. Also, the death was really lame. Maybe some particles instead of just removing the player.
Drowning in the water, blood when hitting spike blocks.
It's a nice little platformer but I think you overdid it on the jumping over moving blocks thing. You need to change things up so the player isn't repeatedly doing the same action, otherwise it gets really repetitive.
I liked the graphics and the movement very much.
I think the gameplay is a bit repetitive (I must confess I only made it to level 4 or 5, so it could vary later). I also hit several bugs?: player running facing backwards, I got stuck in some holes and couldn't jump out, core dumps.
I had some issues with the game. It crashed once on me after level 2, you can jump in the air if you walk off a ledge and things skip too quickly in the intro. Also, was there music? I swear I heard something but even at max volume it was but a faint sound.
The game however was okay, it was polished and had good graphics for the short time you had.
here 121212!
Wow! With that small content levels are incredible different! And fun! But tbh, I didn't manage to complete that 1-D stage. It was too hard. Anyway, one of my favourites!
Great game, very fun. Would like to see more of your work in the future.
