Well done for completing your first LD game.

Liked the idea too.

I couldn't get across the bridge on the first level, not sure why. Good idea though, I made something a bit similar once: http://globalgamejam.org/2014/games/two-levels

It's simple but an ok entry. Congratulations on completing the compo ;)
Also, you should explain in the tutorial screen that 'x' is the interact button :)

Nice Idea, It would be nice to see it fleshed out more. And I think the guy could move a bit faster

Pretty good, too bad you ran out of time. I hope you had a good time!

I like the idea, but this game felt really incomplete (which was to be expected, since you mentioned that you didn't finish). The movement could've been improved (especially going over those bridges, it takes some time to get on them).

I like it. Nice work, especially for a first ld game.

YES! INSTRUCTIONS! THANK YOU!
Aside from that, there really wasn't much indeed, and a room to enter the bridge seemed to be very, very narrow. Also, with the main character having only two directions it looked a bit grotesque when walking left or right. ^^"

In that sort of game I strongly suggest using grid-aligned movement aaand maybe making it a tiny little bit faster. That really would help, especially with them bridges.

Good luck with the next time. ^^"

Thank you for participating in Ludum Dare. While unfinished, this is a great first attempt and I hope we'll see you again next time in December. :)

I really liked the concept ! Nice use of the theme.
Good job for a first entry ;)
It would be great if the character could move diagonally too.

Pretty short, agree with the other comments that the bridge was a bit too narrow but good idea and solid first effort! Good job!

Great innovation, cool game. Good job!

Not a bad first entry. :) I think some sort of visual feedback when flipping switches would have been good, but in general it worked as a game.

Good try!!. For a first ludum dare it was not bad. The two levels were easy, once you found that ghost wouln't cross the ghost bridge, but cross the gap. You ended up with something playable, why not trying to do some after compo levels?

It was good for a first entry but there were 2 main problems:
-Movements are kind of weird,if you can let the player move up/down and left/right at the same moment it would be great
-You don't say that you can press X to use the switches and you can't understand if you activated one since there are no sounds and the lever doesn't change image

Hope you had fun with your first LD, it's not a bad first entry.
