Man, that soundtrack is fantastic. Could be a bit louder though, or the jump sounds quieter. But nice work!
Good game. Good sounds and good graphics. Pretty well made and good overall. Good job.
It is a fun game :D I like the way the player smashes in the ground :D The graphics and Audio are very good ;)
I agree, the soundtrack's really good, but it could be louder. I like the game mechanics quite a bit too, and the trial by death design works quite effectively.
oh, and a minor thing: pressing A to restart doesn't work for me.
Extremely difficult, a lot of "leaps of faith", but it was very moody and pretty! Good job!
Thank you! And one little thing, it's "R" to restart ahah, the font may or may not have messed up there ^^
Nice job. I realized why it's called "the hole thing" when I got to the end.
I like a good challenge, and this definitely provided one! I did run into a bug where I accidentally pressed some button combination that gave me an auto-win. I couldn't quite figure it out, but I think I pressed about 6 buttons at the same time.
Nice one! Cool atmosphere. Would have preferred if the music didn't restart every time you die - but that's probably just because I'm quite bad at the game :)
Almost every jump is a leap of faith, try to use some other jumps as well. It wasn't clear exactly how the wall grap worked when playing, sometimes it was possible to use multiple times and sometimes not.
That's a bit unfair to say, considering how there is almost always either a glowing mushroom, a wall or a platform in sight, but I appreciate the constructiveness of your comment! Both the Wallgrab and the Glide have a timer that resets when you hit the ground, I just edited the description, thanks ^^ Also, that music thing isn't supposed to happen, I'll check the code.
Really great game! Reminds me a bit of Risk of Rain. It was pretty hard-- maybe too hard-- but I could totally see myself having fun with this on a big screen in a dark room. Sort of like the dark levels in Spelunky. Yeah, tweak the gameplay a bit, and this could be pretty amazing!
Nice graphics, nice controls and nice audio. Good job!
Unfortunately this game did not work on my machine. I.e. it starts, I see a platform on the left and a purple background but not player...
The bad news is: I don't know how to fix that :(
But fortunately, I'm almost done on an HTML5 port so expect to be able to play it on any platform soon!
I'm awful at it, but it's pretty nice! Really great atmosphere
<3
This is a good concept !
it's soo hard, but it's cool (:
in the html5 version I had the problem that on my second death restarting with R did not work. the hint disappeared but I still lay there in the dark. (it was after a pretty deep fall)
I'll check it out! Meanwhile, if you refresh the page yuou should be able to keep playing without any issues
Trying to restart just freezes my game :( But wow! That's a huge map!
Try running it on chrome.
Nice game overall. Really liked the audio you had going. The art style is also very nice. Good work.
Played the HTML port now. Great audio and graphics. Really liked the concept with checkpoint and restart giving another chance to survive a deadly jump.
Web version has no sound in Firefox, and has game-breaking graphics bugs in Safari.
Pressing R doesn't actually restart. But the soundtrack is great and the atmosphere is suitably dark.
Solid. I loved the accumulation of dead bodies.
