Good job! I like the graphics.

fanatrick 2014-08-25 14:51

I claimed revenge. Fun little platformer :D

I like the way that the theme is incorporated in to the game.
Also really fun game!

You get stuck on the level if you don't make it over the first jump.

rookmage 2014-08-25 23:14

@Killbert what do you mean? I'm having no problems. Do you have any screenshots?

The art could use some work, but its a neat little platformer. Theres some delay on the jump which makes it a little weird to move around.

rookmage 2014-08-26 05:49

@theGameingProject What system are you using? I haven't gotten any lag in the jump, but the game is horribly optimized memory-usage-wize. It might just be I've loaded too much at once.

I realized it was a little easier to just ignore all of the enemies and jump past them. If there were more incentive to make you fight the enemies, it could be a lot more engaging!

I had fun knocking the enemies off the platforms :P. Justice!

@andrewKennedy Yeah, I would have loved to add a wallet and other fun things like that. A store in-between levels would be an awesome way to add new armor, weapons and upgrades... Maybe I'll make a post-compo edition.

I couldn't move after getting pushed off of the cliff at the beginning.

rookmage 2014-08-27 20:09

Ah, that does appear to be a bug. Jump and you'll be able to move again.

Good graphics.

nikki93 2014-08-28 01:45

Hilarious stuff! The art is pretty cute. And the sword animation is totally lolz.

Lovely graphics. Facial expressions are hilarious :D

cornedor 2014-08-31 12:16

nice little platformer, The connection with the theme wasn't that clear tough.

pjimmy 2014-08-31 16:44

cute platformer, well done

jonask 2014-08-31 16:49

Good graphics but would have been nice with a bit more challenge and variation.

christianeugenio 2014-08-31 17:44

kind of funny game, the guy looks so gay when jumping.

havana24 2014-08-31 17:48

Nice art, I don't get the theme but anyway it is a good game! :)

brokenbeach 2014-08-31 19:33

Not entirely sure on how it relates to connected worlds (maybe I didn't get far enough) but I had fun. I thought the art was cute, and boy do I love all the pink. With more than a couple days, I think you could expand the idea a lot.

jukimv1986 2014-08-31 23:32

Gingerbread for the win! Nice graphics and animations, good story. Well done!

oakus 2014-09-02 09:01

It's quite ok platformer, but I don't see a theme here.

rookmage 2014-09-02 16:54

To all those confused, I elected to use a mario-like world traveling mechanic. The idea is that the different 'heims' are different worlds connected by portals that you must travel through. It's a bit more obvious if you play through all the levels, I wish I was able to incorporate it more into the ending and such.

Nice platformer! Love the humor in it :p

erhartmikale 2014-12-16 22:47

Really nice job getting a complete game made! I enjoyed it a lot.
