awesome man,,, the graphics are fantastics,, the atmosphere is very cool!! great job
Excellent game! The graphics and sound are amazing and the atmosphere is fantastic. Very good job.
Great game. I loved the use of gravity and the different power ups that switched up the game play. Also that time my character got to be blue. I like blue.
This is the best game here. 5 out of 5 stars
Solid platformer!
Really cool game, interesting use of checkpoints as part of the game mechanic. Graphics is great as well, solid game overall!
Whoooaaa really great game, the level design is simply amazing!
Good implementation of the theme too! I think you should try to expand it and refine the handling after the jam and go for a Greenlight entry! Definitely worth a handful of bucks :D
Thanks, I had a great time playing it through :)
I wasn't impressed at first, then the gravity flipped and things got interesting...
however it's not enough to save it, there were a few problems
-on the first level with the water, how the pod ejects you much more forcefully to boost you up doesn't make sense, and is frankly quite unintuitive and frustrating
-the sound is pretty grating and repetitive
-personally I didn't like the art, but I guess that's just me
-there was some significant lag (granted, my PC is very old), and I personally felt that your player character moved far too slowly
still, it was fairly engaging, so nice job
Cute little game. Felt compelled to press through to the end and was happy I did. Love the introduction of new mechanics through the levels. Very atmospheric.
Nice to see another cocos2d-html game :0) Great job on the art. A solid game. Well done!
I thought it was clever how the plants were both a checkpoint and a property-shifting mechanic. I feel like the collision and falling speed both needed work, as they unjustly stalled me at times, but the level designs were interesting and had some good tricks. I wish I had seen more of those enemies, they were neat.
I'm quite impressed! Good take on the theme! Please rate my game! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=5288
This is a definite favourite. An effective lack of hand-holding, together with great visuals and music, make the world seem nicely alien. The level design is excellent. I really enjoyed playing.
Interesting little game. You took a simple concept of checkpoints and made it interesting. Nice element swapping as well. The platforming felt a bit off though. The jumping was pretty unresponsive and parts of the levels felt kinda cramped. I digged most tunes but one of them was a little monotonous(the second or third tune I think).
Impressive amount of levels, really nice!
Solid entry all in all!
nice little game, glad ur working on an OUYA build too :D cant wait to see it in sandbox, they shoudln hvae a ludum section around this contest time to encourage OUYA development
Overall, well-polished and great design.
Very solid levels, and overall, good game. But performances on my PC were not great even with the scaled down version - why is cocos2d-html5 so slow?
But still, good job!
This is a solid game, very cool that you're porting it to ouya!
Great game! It starts a bit slow and typical, but then you spawn heads down...and then...and then...! Clever use of the theme, combined with interesting mechanics and a very good level layout.
Awesome entry!! :D
I see a few other top themes such as "Death is good" were in your heart.
Cool idea. I love this! good graphics... love that style :D Level design is fantastic... checkpoint system is innovative. good polished :D
I wish my character would walk faster... The music was fitting to the graphics, although it sounded almost too... scratchy? Or however you might call it. Besides that, it feels pretty polished.
Cool mechanics, nice difficulty curve, music that made me look forward to the next level, and a cute lil guy. Well done! :)
Nice graphics and level design :)
Good job! I'm a total sucker for cute pixel art! I had some trouble with the gravity flipping thing (I guess it's just me, apparently I'm unable to play games like VVVVVV or the vertigo characters in Rogue Legacy), but pressed through anyway and found it pretty fun. Congrats!
Quite interesting mechanics. I was quite surprised the first time I died and sprouted back.
Nice job! very fun, and great graphics
Nice idea but the graphics lagged down the game while playing
Really good entry, love the graphics (Except I think the character should be brighter to separate more from the BG). Felt the movement was kind of slow at first, but got used to it. Like the mechanics :)
Great game.. great graphics as well. You're level introducing the key/doors mechanic, though, was EXTREMELY repetitive. It wasn't a bad level in general, but I'd refrain from doing repetitive levels like that. Otherwise, nice game!
Nicely done! Really enjoyed playing it, especially the gravity switching powerups.
I only got a few stages in...time limits are cutting it very close on almost all of them. I'd like it a little more relaxed so more people would see the whole thing. Nice use of ten seconds lives concept! :)
One minor glitch: I touched an endpoint as I was dying. The dying animation played, then the endpoint opened/closed like I had reached it, then the game started to respawn me as if I'd died, then took me to the next level. Not a big issue, since it didn't force me to reply anything, just looked odd.
Aside from that, the game was great. Loved the music/sfx, and though the checkpoint/grav-flipping mechanic was great. Also feels like this idea must have been a "death is useful" + "10 seconds" idea.
This is an all around well-rounded entry. The aesthetics are nicely done. The mechanics are interesting and they evolve at a good pace throughout the game. It almost seems like you had some ideas for the "death is useful" theme and just couldn't resist getting them out, am I right? Good stuff, high marks all around.
It's just amazing how unique and complete this game is!
The suicidal immortality concept is simply brilliant and kept me playing to the end.
I would suggest making jumps once per key press instead of auto jumping while space is down in order to prevent unintentional jumping. But that's the only problem I've had.
Awesome job!!
I read your postmortem. Ditching the other mechanic was a good idea, because this game is fantastic.
Amazing you created such a long game in such a short space of time, really awesome :)
solid gameplay, beautiful presentation!
Really, really nice game!
Relentlessly entertaining. Very original. I really liked the different things that the plants did and how obvious it was simply based on color that they were going to do that. Other than the narrative explanation of why only 10 seconds was allowed the game needed almost no explanation.
Levels were well balanced to me at least. Slightly challenging but I never felt lost. I think one of the biggest strengths of this is that the plants acts as a constant autosave. So even if a particular series of jumps or whatever was hard I only had to get them right for a maximum of 10 seconds. You could easily amp up the difficulty close to super meat boy levels without being anywhere near as frustrating. I'd much rather die and lose 10 seconds than die and lose more. That being said if you were to go that route shorter overall levels might help.
Seriously fantastic overall. Really enjoyed it and hope to see more of it.
Awh this is so cool! First off, I love the main characters walk cycle, so cute haha. Second, as I was playing I was sure where it was going to go, and then I got to the gravity switch with checkpoint thing and I thought it was /awesome/ and I was not expecting that at all! All of the level design is great, too! I loved it :D
Solid entry. Nice art and sound. Didn't like auto jump when holding the button down, but easy fix :)
