Cummon man its java! can you please make a Linux Version

ravetcofx 2013-08-26 04:08

Thank you for porting it to linux, I will tell you my positive impressions first: I like the 8-bit music and the idea of rising lava, it reminds me of when I was little...
As for the bad, the tiles dont tile to well, colision detection is buggy (but who am I to talk) and the lava rises to blockishy, other wise 21x better then my game :)

weirdly it says that the source file can't load :( will try again later you left a comment on my game

The no-restart is not necessarily a dealbreaker for me (as my Jam entry has no reboot after you finish combat), but is a little annoying given the amount of time you spend playing the game. Overall, the sound, graphics and gameplay are certainly redeeming qualities.

I reaaaally dig the music. Collision detection and jump physics definitely need work though.

andrio 2013-08-26 04:35

I found this blisteringly difficult to control. >:|

raincole 2013-08-26 04:43

Good idea, but the collision detection is a little clumsy.

Gave me a white screen :(

Fun game! It's still difficult to jump when you're up against a wall but great idea and game play for a quick job!

falconstar 2013-08-27 00:31

Jumping was very buggy, but still a fun game.

bradleysmith 2013-08-27 00:38

Pretty neat game. :)

CHEERFULLY FLEEING LAVA IN JAVA.

Bit of a large download

kebabskal 2013-08-27 20:53

Doesn't start on OSX 10.8.3. Just a gray window :/

boodog 2013-08-27 20:54

Thanks for your ratings guys :D Remember to extract it and leave it in a folder with the res folder in there too if you are getting a gray or white window! :D

canobie 2013-08-27 20:56

Despite some hiccups in control and how you have to restart the game every time you die, I liked to concept, art, and graphics. Good work!

optimus6128 2013-08-27 21:04

Even though the collision/jump is a bit annoying, it's nice however :)

imef 2013-08-27 21:13

Jumping is quite a pain. Other thatn that, nice game. I loved the music!

deep-water-games 2013-08-27 22:30

Nice Game, although as other people said the collision while jumping is quite weird

hauntedsoul 2013-08-27 23:03

Cool music! As others mentioned the jumping weirdness is a bit offputting but the music is great and the textures are cool too :) Good job!

cardboard 2013-08-28 06:16

Thanks for sharing this with me! First of all, the music is amazing. Yeah the collision is a bit wonky, but I think it added to the fun and challenge of the game. I had to figure out how the collision works and how to use it to my advantage in order to beat it. The game is a bit short, but it's the Ludum Dare, so that is usual. What is with the hearts though? The lava kills you in one hit, haha. The pixel graphics are charming, but I don't think the lava fits in very well with the other artwork. Overall, nice job!

blay09 2013-08-28 09:15

Nice music.

udrian 2013-08-28 09:37

This game has a very nice gameplay idea, but sadly i couldn't jump that well which made it kind of annoying cause i died because of it. The artwork is cute.

edocentrique 2013-08-29 21:22

Awesome music

solifuge 2013-08-31 03:47

Good work on completing your game entry! As a critique, I think having to let up on movement just to jump is really frustrating and unintuitive; I think allowing the player to jump and move at the same time would help a lot. (PS. the NES remix of the Firefly Theme made me pretty happy. :3)

saschanarr 2013-09-05 01:52

The jumping controls were so infuriating... :/

shellfishgames 2013-09-11 11:16

Oh god, those controls. :D But other than that, yeah, it's pretty fun. :P As mentioned before the music is pretty cool as well.

zanzlanz 2013-09-17 23:32

Haha nice work on your first entry, bud! I forgot to comment when I rated, lol, but my feedback is pretty much the same as the above commenters.

I thought it was fun and exciting - 10 seconds felt like 20 when you're sprinting for an exit, haha! The only issue I had was the jumping. It made me rage a few times, hehe. Good job nonetheless <3
