Cool Game, Great idea :D

shivur 2014-04-28 02:18

Good concept!

greatbigjerk 2014-04-28 02:19

The jump height felt too low

smilingcat 2014-04-28 02:19

Cool concept, there is more strategy than I originally thought to collecting the loot. Great job!

Download speed is pretty slow and the web takes forever to load and the game freezes at some points. Other than that I love the graphics of the game.

pete_h 2014-04-28 02:36

@Greatbigjerk, it does need tweaking!
@AmilingCat glad you got that feeling, thats what I was hoping for :)
@Clithoney re-uploading the files to google instead of my own site, hopefully will be faster! Will do the same for the web version when I can find a better place to host it.

it's undresponsive for me!

pete_h 2014-04-28 03:03

I've hosted the desktop versions on google now, so that should be better.

Nice! Took me a while to figure out how it worked but it was awesome when I did :D

Fun concept, I enjoyed it. Maybe get less grating sfx though.

Like the concept but I couldn't go back to dropping bombs after the spawning the adventurer. Have I missed something?

pete_h 2014-04-28 11:39

Nope, that's intentional :) You have to figure out the route you want to take before you spawn Paul. However you can restart the level with the refresh button in the top left.

I like the idea of planning your route with the bombs before you get to run. The player movement felt a bit odd and it could have done with being able to jump a bit higher!

cambrian_era 2014-04-29 02:13

The idea is pretty cool, I dug it (get it?). I wish I had more of an idea what I was doing, though. Also, I find the WASD+Space controls hard to use, but that's just me. I did, however, play Baby Got Back while playing it, just to add a soundtrack!

Nice idea. Yes! I also like the maps designs

xandy 2014-05-02 01:08

cool concept. sharpening the platformer parts (more responsive jumping) would make this game a lot better!

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-03 05:10

Cool game! I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/vjBlRj2wHy8

Nice game. Like all good gamer I did not read before pressing buttons. But once I did, I enjoyed the game.

Paul jumped very, very low; it was really difficult to make paths for him because of this. Still a clever application of the theme.

pete_h 2014-05-06 10:55

Thanks for all the feedback, really useful! I'm panning on making these changes and updating the game. If your interested in playing it post updates please follow me on Twitter, I'll share everything there. Thanks again and keep it coming! (jump definitely needs some fixing!!)

Nice entry, I like the idea! Ability to just skip levels kinda ruins the fun, but I've tried to complete each level while collecting the most money I could and restarted a lot to ensure it, so it was lots of fun. I like multi-genred games, great work! I only wish platformer mechanics were more solid and that I could jump higher.
