Pretty hard, but also fun. Sometimes a single jump will register as a double jump, but other than that it was pretty good. Well done :)

Can't get beyond the first double jump in the tutorial. What a shame !

brogrammers 2014-04-29 14:13

Stages were long and hard, but overall, i liked it :)

brackcurly 2014-04-29 14:16

You should lower the difficulty. Unfortunately I didn't make it past the 2nd hurdle of the 1st Level.

lajos 2014-04-29 14:17

Fun game, but there seems to be something wrong with the controls, at least on win7/chrome. Double jump hardly ever registers. I finally got through the wall in the tutorial, but can't get through the jump from the wall on level1 after 57 deaths ;(

Controls are responsive and it is fun to play. But I got frustrated when I got far into the level and died, having to do everything from the start. Very hard! I really dig the music.

Extremely difficult precision platformer! I unfortunately couldn't get past level 2. Very smart how you worked in the moonwalk. Great job!

This is like the hardest game I ever played.
But fun with a lot of levels, and nice with a tutorial.

randoman 2014-04-29 17:28

@lajos The double jump activates when you press Up while in the air. You can delay it as long as you are still in the air. That said, if you fall from a platform and press jump it will be registered as a double jump.

Thank you all for playing and for your feedback!

20 deaths still on the first level. it's fun though :D. i like
jacket flop when jumping.

Nice job. I found this challenging and fun. My game is about a girl trying to make it out of a cave too, so +1 on interpretation from me =]

Level 1 is hard, but is fun. double jump fails some times. Really liked the details you put in the main character animation

Simple, but well executed. I think it would have been nice if the camera would recognize when you're getting ahead and speed up a bit to keep up with you.

The web page is not loading for me. :(
First time I've tried I only got a black screen. The second time I managed to get to the loading screen but it got stuck a little after 50% was loaded (or maybe it is just loading painfully slow).

I am using Google Chrome 34 on Windows 8.1

randoman 2014-04-30 12:04

@raulincze Hello! You can try to hard refresh the page (CTRL+F5) or clear your browser's cache (CTRL+Shift+Del), because it seems very much like a connection issue

Congratulations on your first completed game! For a first LD, this was a pretty well fleshed out entry!

The songs were really nice. A bit on the difficult side, but I think that is a good thing. The levels could be a tad shorter, at least in the beginning.

Thanks for the game!

jacob-peltola 2014-04-30 18:45

My favorite part was the moonwalk in the tutorial haha, but overall very fun and challenging

vilya 2014-04-30 19:25

I'd love to try your game, but I'm having the same problem as raulincze. I'm using Chrome 34, on Windows 7. I've tried soft and hard refreshing (F5 and Ctrl+F5), clearing the cache, using an Incognito window, even tried loading the site in Firefox instead. All other sites are loading fine for me, so it's not a problem with my internet connection. Do you have any alternate location to host it?

randoman 2014-05-01 01:39

@vilya @raulincze I've uploaded the game in an alternate location, the link is in the post! I hope it works for you guys!

fun to play, maybe a little too hard at first.

jayemjee 2014-05-03 02:08

Not bad. A little difficult, but fun all the same.

zedutchgandalf 2014-05-03 10:41

Difficult! But really fun :)

praporomsk 2014-05-03 15:42

This game is very hard D:

thingostudios 2014-05-03 20:36

The auto-scrolling is way too slow... it would be cool if it sped up as you got closer to the right of the screen, because I got sick of grazing a bat and moving two-three minutes backwards.

Cool music, though.

pvwradtke 2014-05-04 16:10

Whoa, this one gets hard really soon :). Missed checkpoints, but a nice take on side scroller platform games :).

thorig 2014-05-04 20:08

There is a bug where if you jump you double jump. This could be a collision bug. Still a very good first LD entry.

logun 2014-05-05 18:46

Loved the moon walk !
But veryvery hard, you should have add health points ! Too punitive.

mark-goetz 2014-05-06 02:17

Cool, I like the music a lot - it really fits the mood! And congrats on getting levels done within the short timeframe. I felt the controls were a bit slippery - double-jump occasionally didn't register, and there was a bit too much inertia to negotiate some of the smaller platforms. Great job getting your first LD in!

donovanwu 2014-05-06 17:50

This game's super hard, but fun to play. Is it supposed to be a game like "I wanna be the guy"?

randoman 2014-05-08 16:47

@DonovanWu "I Wanna be the Guy" forces the player to memorize their next step, in this game we wanted players to 'think' about their next step and execute it! :)

Thank you so much for all the comments!

d2fxrayg 2014-05-09 16:00

I like the music but I got stuck :(
