Una dificultad digna de GazpachoGames :)
¡Enhorabuena!

Awesome job, guys!

I love your interpretation of "You Only Get One". Most people have made a game with one item, one power or something concrete. You used it in a very original and beuty form.

At first, the game seems so hard (maybe a Dark Souls' spin off?), but the more you play the more you realize how to do it better.

Cool and varied graphics!

Dios como es de jodido el salto! despues de 10mins de practica ya lo demas sale facil xD

"You only get one childhood" is a great interpretation of the theme. The game is great, but it has one really annoying characteristic: When you change direction, your character's feet move in the opposite direction to the direction you want to move in. So if you're near a ledge, and want to back up, he'll swing a little bit in the opposite direction, falling over the ledge you wanted to avoid.

Thanks for all.

Errorage// We try to fix the bug... Thanks for the advice!

¡Me ha gustado mucho el juego! ¡Completado de principio a fin! El estilo y el tema son muy bonitos :D
La dificultad no está nada mal, me ha encantado el nivel de huir corriendo (¡gran música también!) y el del avión especialmente.

Cosillas que como jugador le pondría pegas:
- El salto. Se hace muy raro que el personaje se mueva tan rápido cuando anda lento y se tarda un rato en acostumbrarse uno xD
- Los sonidos de los efectos a mi al menos se me han hecho un poco pesados después de oírlos varias veces.

Por lo demás, estupendo trabajo, sabiendo el tiempo en el que ha sido producido, ¡es muy buen juego!

The game is hard, but not in a good way - it's hard because the controls and movement are very subpar.

I love your theme, though.

gazpachogames 2013-12-16 18:42

Thanks Fogokhost and OmegaVesko.

We are working in change the controls... ;)

Very cool take on the theme. The game is difficult, but not too much so, except that airplane level =P My only gripe was that jumping felt too fast, especially compared to horizontal movement. The story was also really well done. Great work!

phi6 2013-12-16 18:43

Great graphics and voice recorded sounds! Playability wise, I found the gravity to be rather unforgiving, which made the game quite difficult, so I would have preferred looser jumping! I would recommend implementing Sonic Physics (http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Physics_Guide) and getting a feel on how to implement a really good platforming engine, it certainly helped me! Overall, good job in the time alloted :)

gazpachogames 2013-12-16 18:47

Thanks ThatGuy and phi6.

The airplane level...muahaha :P

We are working to do a better game with your comments... Thanks!

Excelsior!

jimmypaulin 2013-12-16 20:10

Beautiful artwork and backgrounds, love the theme setting text and moodiness. Quite sombre and reflective! As others have mentioned the controls are rather unforgiving - but as a fellow WASD+mouse developer I sympathise! Love the music too

wojworks 2013-12-16 20:12

Fantastic tone! ...less than fantastic jump. Seriously, fix that thing.

gazpachogames 2013-12-16 20:14

Hehehehe...thanks postmodestie, jimmypaulin and WojWorks.

We are fixing the bugs... :)

Grande señores, cada vez subís mas el listón.

danex317 2013-12-17 00:05

Great Job. all of the characters are really cute.

Side Note: Since you used Unity I would suggest exporting a Linux build. The Web player does not work on Linux machines yet.

vallde 2013-12-17 00:06

Liked the theme and the variety of gameplay, but some mechanics feel a bit weird (like the jump during the first levels). And some levels feel like a memory game, since the camera is so close you don't have time to react and all you can do is repeat it until you memorized it.

parapup 2013-12-17 00:44

Great job on the game you had some intresting concept.

onlyslightly 2013-12-17 01:35

I liked the art style and story. Very difficult though!

mrtedders 2013-12-17 06:11

Very creative use of the theme! A little more work on the jumping and movement however.

gazpachogames 2013-12-17 14:30

Thanks for all yours comments, guys. We're totally new in platfomers so we still have a lot of work to make it feel right but all these advices are very helpful.

About the Linux build, we'll try to release it as soon as posible. Thanks for the warning LastResortGames!

gokuhd 2013-12-17 20:21

Not only the graphics but the audio is awesome too. I love the character and backgrounds, also the story is very nice. Well done!

roguenoodle 2013-12-18 10:23

Loved the theme and style of this one - difficulty was a bit much though, particularly in the nightmare portion. Great job overall :)

glovecat 2013-12-19 10:53

Good music, sound, an polished graphics :) good job!

fullmontis 2013-12-19 11:14

The controls are too frustrating. I had to stop playing after a while because it took me two minutes to get a jump right. It makes the game frustrating. But I enjoy the idea and the implementation.

gazpachogames 2013-12-19 11:24

Hi all! Thanks for your comments!

:D

occash 2013-12-19 17:31

Good story and veeeery good graphics! But sound is very annoying)

yaru 2013-12-19 20:33

Very good! The jump feels a bit weird, and the automatic scroller level is difficult, but overall, a very good work, congratulations!

snutidesign 2013-12-30 12:47

Very nice concept and I loved how you integrated the story into the levels :) I found it a bit hard on the dark level but was really fun to play, well done :)

van-noctar 2014-01-06 17:25

Waou! Very good game! Five star everywhere exept for the theme! Good job !
