The narrator is a nice touch.

I agree nice touch with the narrator. The controls are good too everything is smooth.

The narrator was pretty great.

The narration was cool, haha. Simple game, but enjoyable.

I like the narrator too!
The violin though, got quite annoying after a while...
I found this very cute :)

chaosed0 2014-12-08 23:48

I love the random sawing at the violin in the background.

This was, despite the seemingly annoying violin, a really sweet and beautiful game. The voice is very soothing and actually gives you a much better relation to the character. It's nice and all to know that the little dude is home safe, but I kind of wanted to continue his adventures. Great work!

I like the narrator, and the controls feels precise, but you feel a little too sluggish when in-air.

really nice concept.
Goodjob dude

Divitos, That is on purpose. You actually have no control while in the air, as you can't apply force to move right or left. The controls are based loosely on physics. The ground has friction, and you apply force (really just acceleration) based on that friction. Same for jumping and falling. There is force (acceleration again) of gravity and jumping force that counteract each other.

Really liked the narrator! Also the movement animations looked very nice.

Love the narrator it really gives life to the game. It reminds me to the game Thomas was alone :)

I really liked the narration. It was an excellent game, and it's always nice to see a fellow LWJGL user! Only issue I had with it was that I was able to outrun the narrator's voice, starting the next sound-clip before the previous one had finished. Playing both at the same time.

That doesn't take away from the game at all in my opinion though. Great job!

Nice little game. Narrators are always cool in games and I liked it :)

As the others, I also think the narration was great. I thought the "little dude found a box, looks like a parachute" was hilarious, until I understood he actually found a parachute. Thought he didn't understand the concept of gifts at first :D

I agree with johnbrynte on everything. Great example of how aesthetics and feel can make a game much more than its mechanics :)

egos 2014-12-10 02:03

when the game transform in a real basic platformer the end comming
You focus on the narration so great job !!

lurumdurum 2014-12-10 15:21

The narrator part was pretty cool, I like how it was done. The level changing mechanic was pretty cool as well, you could do some cool stuff with that. :)

gamedevextreme 2014-12-10 15:23

liked how the graphics changed over time

zettelkasten 2014-12-10 15:38

The platforming feels very good and I really love how you implemented the theme! Good job!

christopf 2014-12-10 16:29

Well, that was a fast one. Love this minimalistic style and you made me laugh a few times. Also how you break the expectations in me made feel good. Good job!
Oh the critic i nearly forgot: It could be longer of course and maybe more of a story? I feel you could do that easily and the setup also is inviting. Keep up that good work!

Very nice little adventure there. Narrator rocks, there`s not much of them in games nowadays... Liked it!

Charming little trip with Bastion-esque narration. Short and sweet. Just hope Little Dude didn't pay too much for that house, the location seems a bit inconvenient.

skulioskarsson 2014-12-11 23:20

1+ for the narrator ;D

meral 2014-12-12 16:17

Cute thing. I had a little trouble with the controls, but maybe that's just me and platformers.

Good job!

donovanwu 2014-12-18 03:49
