Having to sign up for account to play is a bit of a turn off :)

lostautumnguy 2014-04-28 03:12

Age verification and sign-up for an account makes this not really accessible.

craigsmye 2014-04-28 03:24

Not gonna sign up for an account to play this. Maybe you could move it somewhere else?

I really liked your intro, and the mechanics that you put in. Very metroidvania. I also liked how you had to use the abilities to progress. Two things though: first your music needs to be longer. It really can get repetitive. Other sound effects would help that out also. Second, your check point system, while cool, is a tad frustrating. I am talking about a specific point where after falling on top of an old checkpoint, it became my new re-spawn location. I couldn't beat the game because I grew tired of repeating the same loop. It is a really great concept though. Good job.

Thanks, I was unaware of that, I'll move to newgrounds.

cleitoneldorn 2014-04-28 03:35

There, problem solved, thanks for the heads up.

Quite a landing, nice game

drmelon 2014-04-28 04:00

Reminds me of Commander Keen for some reason. Very nice!

microapple 2014-04-28 04:30

Pretty fun. It'd be nice if the character could move faster though, the first couple levels got a bit boring...

boodog 2014-04-28 04:31

Cool game! For some reason it reminded me of Pokemon ;)

Hey! I played a little bit. Unfortunately when I unlocked the gun i couldnt' shoot. So maybe there's a bug somewhere, I'm on chrome.

I think that overall it's a little bit slow. It's great the way things unlock but I found the left/right controls were frustratingly slow. I like how you designed things to be methodical, but it made backtracking and retrying tedious at times.

The graphics are very nice - in particular the main caharacter's animations are great. Overall an awesome 48h game! I'll check back later to see if the shooting bug goes away.

:)

It's a pretty nice metroidvania game. Only gripe with it is that some segments are really frustrating, mostly because your character is quite sloooow at accelerating. But nothing that stopped me from beating the game, still quite fun overall.

lekochen 2014-04-28 05:35

It's quite fun! I really like the evolution of the character.

reinkout 2014-04-28 13:06

The evolving of the character was a nice touch!

vilya 2014-04-28 13:07

It's not bad, but takes a bit long to get going for my tastes. Loved the little "haha" from the devil when he throws his spear though. :-)

tayl1r 2014-04-28 13:09

Neat. Little slow paced, maybe.

caridorc 2014-04-28 13:12

I WRITE IN CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG BUG!
I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHOOT WHEN I TOOK THE GUN POWERUP!
SOLVE THIS OR ONLY HALF OF THE GAME WILL BE PLAYABLE!
Overall good game.

superdolfy 2014-04-28 13:16

I found your idea of the cracked egg very good and I also liked the way that you didn't have jumping at first. I think that their wasn't much sound to hear but the sound that there was was nice to hear.

cleitoneldorn 2014-04-28 14:35

Caridorc, I'm not able to reproduce the bug. How it happened? And thanks for the heads up.

pietro-ferrantelli 2014-04-28 16:54

Neat ! I really enjoyed this game ! Congratulations :)

darkmeatgames 2014-04-28 22:32

Good stuff, controls were a bit 'floaty' but I did feel myself compelled to find more 'evolutions'. Waiting for platforms was a drag.

zednaut 2014-04-28 22:40

Cool game! The graphics were simple but charming, and the gameplay was fun; learning new moves was a fun twist. I also enjoyed the voice work, it was funny and made the game that much more charming.

terraco 2014-04-28 23:14

Love a game where I can evolve the character!

granut100 2014-04-29 01:04

This game is really good! The evolution of the player was very neat aswell.

granut100 2014-04-29 01:04

This game is really good! The evolution of the player was very neat as well.

gravitygames 2014-04-29 02:46

A pretty nice metroidvania styled game, but the character moves MUCH TOO SLOW. It was kind of cool to see the character change as you got powerups, and I really think it would have been cool if you could keep playing after you got the wings, it would be cool to see what secrets are possible to find with them, but I understand that you probably couldn't due to time constraints...

zanenga 2014-04-29 07:40

Cool game.

binary_girl 2014-04-29 20:36

i like the gfx good job :)

paperblurt 2014-04-30 07:02

Ok but for real.
You gotta evolve this.
This was real good.

Don't stop working on it!

The premise where the egg falls and then you get legs is so good.
Animations are nice too!

pancakecity 2014-04-30 17:24

Really good level and powerup design! Really enjoyed playing to the end.

Only sticking point I had was when I got the shoot power, I thought it said 'press H to shoot' (the X looks like an H) and spent a while pressing H and wondering why it didn't work -__- so that font could maybe be changed.

solifuge 2014-05-02 00:52

I really liked the changing powerups mechanic, which was very new and really changed the way in which I accessed the levels. Also, when I got my new legs and needed to wait for a platform, I enjoyed standing there moving incrementally from side to side--because the animation looked like the creature was dancing. The cackling devils are hilarious!

However, the platforming and collision detection on the spikes are pretty bad, and the immediate snap back to the save point with no frames in-between--and the unusually loud SFX along with it--was quite stressful. I'm pretty sure I tried a certain section--the one pit right after picking up the shooty tentacle--twenty, thirty times without being able to get anywhere, and though I'm not the greatest at platformers, I'm certainly not *that* bad.

As someone else here said, keep evolving! This is a cool idea with a cute execution.

whalebot 2014-05-07 18:42

The checkpoint system is VERY nice, especially when I'm sliding into those stupid spikes on those trickier jumps.
Something was wrong with my audio. It was all out of sync (like way late or something...). Good work.
