Makes fun,
But its really hard :)
I´ll try to beat it!

madk 2013-08-26 14:58

Holy shit I won. I hate you for how absurdly little room for error there is.

johnathan 2013-08-26 15:15

Wow, this gets intense. Nice work.

chrisostome 2013-08-26 17:28

Wo Cool ! People played my game ! I'm happy.

The game was really easy at the begginig, I just changed the order of the rooms, and the difficulty has gone crazy.

I hope it's not too hard, I beat it at every try, but I made it, so maybe it's just that I know it too much.

@madk
Iknow there is no room for error, but basically I had no room to make room for error, it's only one second per level. I'm pleased someone beat it.

I'm considering going for a 60 seconds/60 levels version, it could distribute the difficulty more smoothly during the levels, and I could try the levels designs ideas that I could'nt add here.

Deceptively addictive. Falling through the hole in the first level takes you to the second one. I dunno if that's a glitch or a secret but either way it's awesome. Nice game!

This one is really neat! I love how it forces you to think slightly out of the box :)

sink 2013-08-26 21:52

Really engaging! I enjoyed it a lot and I like how you had to take the unclear path, creative.

chrisostome 2013-08-26 23:22

Thanks :) I'm glad that it please some people.

@Nights57
It's not a glitch, when you fall you spawn from above (pacman like), it's the way to do it. It looks like a glitch because you don't have time to see the character coming from the top.

chrisostome 2013-08-26 23:26

I might do something to make it more clear.

I won! The last level was mean >:D You got me hooked, so well done! Great game :D

olafurw 2013-08-28 00:23

wow this is crazy, it has a very very small room for error. nice work though on your first game!

joxno 2013-08-28 00:30

Pretty fast-paced but quite enjoyable, kept getting killed by the 'troll, lol' levels >.<

kacperski1 2013-08-28 10:14

Good game!
Looks like "Adventure" for Atari :D

almightyzentaco 2013-08-28 10:38

Very difficult, but fun.

entity2d 2013-08-29 19:25

Not bad at all for a first game, in fact, it's really fun!

pierrec 2013-08-30 11:40

This is the greatest surprise!
Not the game itself (which is pretty clever and really fun [until it gets intensely frustrating ^^) but the fact that you made a game! I didn't know you were a programmer!
Now I will harass you until you make a game using your own drawing graphics, because minimalist pixel-art it cool, but you can do so much better than that!

chrisostome 2013-08-30 13:42

@ Pierrec: Thanks :) That's the point, I'm NOT a programmer, in the past I've tried to learn C++, java, as3, but circonstances always kept me away from my computer for some times and I had to start all over again.
So I thought I could try to use GM's drag and drop system, but it was glitchy, so I had to code aniway for a big part. So my 48h were : 10 hours to sleep and get an idea, almost 30h to fix the engine while reading tutorials,documentations and hitting myself with the keyboard. 6 hours for level design, graphics and sounds (yeah the sounds that I could never get to work) and hitting myself with the keyboard again... oh and also getting that countdown to work trough the different levels... that almost made me quit.

Congrats on your first game and LD! I really liked it!

dookie 2013-09-02 16:50

Really simple and really good :) I couldn't beat it, but I think I'll give it another try later on.

schnerble 2013-09-02 17:12

Quite tough, but nice idea. It does mean players can only really win by learning the levels, but still, for a ten-second-total game, that's kind of necessary :)

haxpor 2013-09-16 19:41

Simplistic enough! The whole level needs to be cleared in 10!!!
