Your download is missing the assets folder I think.

Doesnt start: There should be 'Cave AstronautStandalone_Data'
folder next to the executable

I could not get this game to run I'm afraid. I came into the following error when I tried to run the exe:

"There should be 'Cave AstronautStandalone_Data'
folder next to the executable"

tifu 2013-08-26 15:26

Ditto for me :(

slader16 2013-08-26 22:12

Sorry about that guys, I fixed it :D

feysoura 2013-08-26 22:19

Got a bug and couldn't continue. Astronaut went way too high and into the blue unity abyss.

slader16 2013-08-26 22:30

I'll work on a fix for it Feysoura :D

slader16 2013-08-26 22:40

Feysoura the fix is up now, That was a bug that I noticed but I forgot to fix, Sorry!

tifu 2013-08-26 23:30

Seems to work now :)
Though I can press up to fly into the sky and I seem to have a lot more than 10 lives, I seem to be able to die however many times I want :P
Its playable and all though, managed to win, so good job for first try :D

slader16 2013-08-26 23:34

Thanks for the awesome feedback Tifu!

Congrats on your firsts, Collin Clifton.

slader16 2013-08-26 23:36

btw the reason why he can keep on jumping is that he was supposed to have a jetpack, I just didn't have enough time to model it. :p

Congratulations on finishing! I definitely hit some weird collision detection bugs. Knocking over dalek-creatures is fun.

olafurw 2013-08-26 23:43

Keep at it!

slader16 2013-08-26 23:47

phaed- Knocking down and shooting them across the map is my favorite part in the game :P

Dark Acre Jack- Thanks!

olafurw- I definitely will man!

doonay21 2013-08-27 19:04

Honest congratulations! As or fist game (and compo) you did good job! Keep it up!!

pinktreeleaf 2013-08-27 19:08

could not get passed the first few enemies. kept getting stuck on the ceiling and dying. good try though. much sleep to you.

vdz 2013-08-27 19:28

I'll give my honest thoughts: The game is a buggy mess with no challenge, ugly graphics, and barely any content (there's only one level and it's really short), and it has nothing to do with the theme.

But everybody starts out making shitty games. Keep making games and you'll improve over time.

slader16 2013-08-27 19:55

@VDZ I appreciate your honesty!

@Pinktreeleaf there is a lot of sleep in my future :P

@doonay21 Thanks, I will!

slader16 2013-08-27 21:27

If anybody finds a bug please press "Q" to restart the level and e-mail me at: slader155@gmail.com

I wasn't sure what was killing me but I love the idea of Spelunky meets Capsized so keep working on it!

slader16 2013-08-28 20:50

@tripleVisionGames lol the robot models did look really rushed. I think that I am going to continue the game and build off of Spelunky meets Capsized.

nickw 2013-08-28 22:09

The idea for the theme was good.

slader16 2013-08-28 22:20

@Nick Weihs, Thanks!

customphase 2013-08-30 15:03

Not bad for a first game, but still far from being any good, in larger scale, sorry to say that. Good luck on your next ludum dares.

slader16 2013-09-03 01:12

@CustomPhase: I agree that it's really far off from being a large scale game, so it's all good :P
I'm really looking forward to December's Ludum Dare!

fdevant 2013-09-04 20:46

On mountain Lion I try to open the game and nothing happens.

vikingpotato 2013-09-04 21:20

Congrats on ur first entry.
The game needs a lot of work, but i liked the way i can toss enemies with my bullets.. work the controls more enjoyable

fferro234 2013-09-04 21:51
