great loved the art style and theme and the way it felt like an retro 2d game

paulopn 2013-12-17 10:29

pretty good! everything works very well, although I can't say I personally liked the "one checkpoint" mechanic much, specially after reaching the "fire" stage... =X
Then again, it IS the theme =P

Great work :) The controls were pretty responsive and I started using my respawn point further along the levels as I felt more confident about my abilities.

ghandhi 2013-12-17 10:34

"Move right to read controls." Really?

cappelnord 2013-12-17 10:45

I think the "one checkpoint" mechanic is quite annoying in this one. I know that it's the theme but it's a pretty random decision to make, when you don't know how long the game will be. If you've done it once per level then it would be better, I think. You're tempted to restart the game, to progress your checkpoint further and further, but that's not really fun.

The game itself was fun though, controls were decent, art/sfx too.

Platforming felt nice! There was no satisfaction in killing enemies though

lissar 2013-12-17 12:59

I liked this use of the theme! Controls felt a bit stiff.

fenixin 2013-12-17 13:37

Very nice art style! I also like the sounds.

I think the theme is not really well done.

I crashed upon jumping on the skeleton in the second level, however, the game is fun, no doubt. I loved the art style and the idea of the 'totem'.

kutullu 2013-12-17 13:43

Controls feel quite good, graphics and sound are great. I don't really care for the checkpoint mechanic, because you have to know how long the game is to make the placement really meaningful.
That said, I really liked the experience, although I haven't played it to the end. :)

Cheers, Marcus

That game is great to play. I really like the artstyle, as well as the music.

Nice artworks. nice details. spiders are to fast for me... I'm arachnophobic ^^

radnen 2013-12-18 02:17

A fun, well paced platforming game! Loved it.

bakpakin 2013-12-18 02:17

I like the retro art, lots of content for such a short deadline

john_conder9 2013-12-18 10:24

I made it to the ice level before I gave up. I'd like to finish it but man I just can't do it, it took 15 minutes to get to the ice level. I really dislike the one checkpoint mechanic. It would have been really cool per level, but per game just made it really >< Especially when there is so much that insta-gibs you.

Besides that the game was really good and fun, but killing enemies was really difficult without taking damage. I didn't quite understand what was going on there. Anyway, good job!

I can't download it(

lolshouse 2013-12-18 18:10

Hi occash. Which version can't you download? What sort of error are you running in to?

sahoskins1 2013-12-18 18:46

Massive issues trying to download the Windows version. Avast anti-virus sees it as a threat and destroys it as soon as the zip is extracted.

zkenshin 2013-12-18 19:23

Nice entry, good job!

murilo 2013-12-19 01:37

Nice! Even if the controls weren't too responsive for me. The graphics are really good and so is some music in a latter level. Good job man! The checkpoint thing is a good idea too!

lolshouse 2013-12-19 01:49

Thank you for all your compliments and criticism. It means a lot to us! In response to all the false positives on the Windows build, we are uploading a fresh build as we speak.

sahoskins1 2013-12-19 09:41

Glad I checked back to play this. A neat little platformer. After the dev fixed the issue of false positives it ran fine and happy to say no bugs to report.

linuus 2013-12-19 10:03

Solid platformer!

paperblurt 2013-12-21 08:44

Aww this is real nice!
Looks and feels like an Amiga game.
Brings me back!

orangeez 2013-12-23 11:14

Not bad, the idea with teleporter is interesting. However, each time a skeleton in the castle's beginning kills me, the game freezes.

atombrot 2013-12-28 17:01

I like the art :)

michail 2013-12-30 00:38

I've also experienced the problem with the game freezing after being hit by the skeleton in the castle. Nice game overall, but the graphic parts could have been put together better - I mean the trees "floating" on the ground or the background forest texture.
The use of theme is good, I liked the totem idea.
