Love the colours

Great graphics and fun, arcade-y action. Well done!

deathray 2013-12-16 06:21

You've done everything great - animation, graphics, gameplay. I only wish I could make the window larger. Also it crashed on me once.

rubna 2013-12-16 12:21

Thanks for the lovely comments! Deathray: you can go fullscreen with F4. It will blur a bit, but everything is nice and big!

The most fun entry i've played till now. Effective graphics, simple but good sounds and a fun gameplay mechanic.

Goed gedaan man;)

Really nicely done. Love the spear mechanics. Jump height/wall jumping is a bit odd, but other than that it plays very nicely.

Love your gfx.

dznemotion 2013-12-16 16:26

Graphics, color and fun are very nice! Good game!

adonaac 2013-12-16 16:30

Really nice animations, graphics and game feel. The way things move around (spear, money, player) feels really responsive and "right". Really nice job!

acronaut111 2013-12-16 16:34

well put together! good pixel animations, effective sounds (steps, collides, etc..) nice spear mechanics (embed on walls, deflect by sheild).

katamori 2013-12-16 17:16

More levels would be great. But great overall!

rubna 2013-12-16 19:48

Thanks so much for all of the positive feedback you guys! It really means a lot to me :D I'll be sure to check out all of your lovely games, too :)

This is a nice arcade style game. Good sound effects and cool graphical style. Having the one weapon and needing to grab it again after using was a good use of the theme. Very good.

sheepolution 2013-12-17 12:51

What a fun game! The graphics are great. Great job!

sanguine 2013-12-17 13:05

The graphics are simple and adorable, a bit of music would have been cool though

rubna 2013-12-17 16:34

Sanguine: Yeah, I miss the music a lot xD Especially on the title screen, but I didn't have time to make any anymore, plus don't have a lot of experience with making music for games. Will do with the next LD for sure though!

Again, thanks everyone! :D

Controls felt wonky as you need to wall jump to get up, the game window was too small to make much of what you were doing, it got confusing (maybe double the zoom level for better visibility?) The game did not really keep to the theme though.

fogs 2013-12-17 20:39

Loved it, congrats!

rubna 2013-12-17 21:34

Riilu: You can go fullscreen by pressing F4. The walljump takes some practise, but if I made the jump higher, you'd keep bumping into the ceiling and that would be even more annoying!

Also, I think I kept to the theme pretty well as you only get one spear, so you need to get it back every time you throw it.

Too bad you didn't like the controls man. Hope you still kind of liked it though! :P

I actually had a lot of fun with this! I love the little character sprites, especially the old man. An innovative take on the whole "You only get one shot" that a lot of people seemed to do.

The physics for the spear were great too. I enjoyed wall-jumping, then pitching my spear across the map to pin some dude. Very satisfying!

Perhaps my one complaint would be that it's a bit to hard to get to the other side of the map from the top screen. You can't just jump over the middle divide, and you have to wall-jump to the other platform in order to jump over the center piece. It's a bit time consuming and bothersome, but otherwise it didn't detract too much from the experience.

glovecat 2013-12-19 10:46

simple but beautiful pixel-art. Really love the gameplay. Maybe the stage is small and the main character need jump a little more. It's hard dodge the shield-guys.

moist 2013-12-19 17:08

Great! The game's very simple yet extremely fun. I really like character animations. Good job.

claw 2013-12-19 17:45

Really solid feel to the game, and very fun! Found myself replaying over and over until I remembered I should go vote on other games as well ;D

kutullu 2013-12-19 17:46

Nice game, beautiful graphics and cool arcade gameplay. Like it very much! :) Cheers, Marcus

bitslap 2013-12-22 17:14

Very arcade, love it.

matx 2013-12-23 21:04

Eye-popping (quite literally). Must say that while it's simple it still feels very good to play.

ointment 2013-12-25 19:26

Quite fun in a Super Crate Box-y way. The physics feel right for the most part, which is the most important aspect in these games. Dislike those obvious bfxr sound effects though.

samh 2013-12-26 13:35

Nice graphics, nice mechanics. I like the fast pace! It feels good to play, except maybe for the slightly odd wall jumps (I'm used to Super Meat Boy allowing direction changes in mid-air).

garethiw 2013-12-30 18:28

You got a lot out of so few pixels. Looks really neat, nice animation and smooth controls.

One of my favourite entries in this Ludum Dare. Congratulations!

rubna 2014-01-07 10:36

Wow! I made the top 50 in 4 categories! This was certainly the best Ludum Dare yet!

Thanks again for all the lovely comments and feedback, see you all at the next Ludum Dare! :D
