Nice animations and I like the effect where the higher you go the more green the background is.

Couldn't get past a particular jump though :S

There's a jump I got stuck at! Nice monsters!

You can't go very far into the game before reaching an impossible jump with no other routes to take. From the looks of the tiles near that spot, maybe a one way wall was accidentally placed facing the wrong direction?

The controls are a bit difficult to get used to and the jumping can be too unforgiving but the punch works pretty darn well :)

The sticky spot is just barely possible to get past, but I'll upload a typo-style fix this evening to make it easier. Luckily that's essentially the end of what I've made anyway, so all you're missing is a floating "the end" marker.

I'm glad the parts I liked worked out well at least. :)

Alright, fix uploaded.

Game does not run on 64-bit windows, a message box pops up with the following text:
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher"

rusky 2014-04-30 02:22

Whoops, fixed that.

Nice start! I got to the "the end" section! I'm glad you submitted this anyway. It's pretty cool. I like the pink things.

A bit short, but i really appreciated the highkick sprite, look like he is gonna lay down on a lounger XD.

At one point I went into hyper mode, running around crazy fast and only able to face left. Not sure if that was intentional, but it was kinda fun. It seemed to lack substance though, not a lot too do, and the theme tie-in seemed pretty tenuous.

Ack, couldn't find a way to get that middle monster : ) I liked the high jump the most. Surprising for the scale of the game/character. Nice animations, too. I wish there was more to explore, though.

The attack felt good. The jump was a little weird to figure out, but aside from a couple of spots the level felt good. Nice work.

rusky 2014-05-01 02:53

eowindil: yeah, half of my theme tie-in was the story I didn't get to (and a cinematic intro I didn't get to either would've made the half that does exist a little clearer than the word "underground" in the title) :)

It's good! I'd like it if it was a bit longer and had a definite goal, but the gameplay itself is pretty polished and nice and fun.

metkis 2014-05-03 20:13

Awesome work!

eckcz 2014-05-03 20:32

The name explains everything :D

Love the graphics, like the jumping too. Very nice for 48 hours

Nice platformer with good graphics, however the collision with the world was a little bit clunky when I played (clipped through the pillar all the way down, just after being hit by an enemy).
