I had an issue with the jump attempts failing until after I used the thruster.
I get "Error: Could not find or load main class LD29-Return To The Surface.jar" when trying to launch.
@manabreak Could you update your Java (might be a problem with JREs < 1.7)?
Jetpacks automatically add a +1 to the fun rating. I explored for a while but never found a power stone. I would do very poorly in Etno's situation, apparently. No issues with running it, although I did run into the known jumping bug. Not a big deal.
Nice job! I like the aesthetic, with the lights from bullets and the gun, as well as the pixel art. I feel like the enemies bunch up too easily though, I get overrun very quickly.
I had fun with the jetpack (and a broken element if you jumped and then immediately pressed jetpack you'd fly a lot faster), and it looked nice, but the enemies got too easily cluttered with the looping stage so I wouldn't see one for ages, and then suddenly meet a bunch all at once. Also I did not find a single Power Stone.
Same there, error (Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: LD29-Return To The Surface.jar).
Fixed after updating my JRE.
I've beaten it after 3 retries and the game is in the theme :3
Not too hard, not too easy, maybe too short.
An ambient music should've been good too.
Nice mood, loved the torch. I would not reach the meetup healthily.
I had the jump bug also.
I didn't find the exit and the best way of dealing with these ghosts seems to simply escape. Some music, even simple would be great next time ;-)
Loved the art on this, great feel.
I like the idea of your game very much and also the creepy bugs look very cool. A bit more variety would have been nice. Also sometimes jump would not work (I had to use the jetpack first to be able to jump). For a first ludum dare entry it's great ;)
Fix the jump bug and how the gun doesn't seem to shoot where you aim, and this would be really solid!
