Love the visuals, sound effects are class (remind me of lemmings) and certainly enough stressful puzzles to keep me occupied for a good while.
My only qualm is the browser version seems to have a heavy amount of lag. It may just be my computer (as it's had a looong day) but thought I'd let you know in case it was something you could fix. Checked the downloadble version and it ran perfectly.
Really great work. Get some rest!
Thanks for making this game!
Nice variety of traps and hazards. Seems like a lot got done in a small time. I got stuck on the second cannon, I couldn't get past it, perhaps the timing is different on my PC but there was not enough gap between the rocks to run through.
Hi there. Loads happening here. Love the sound effects. The gore is good, but happens way too much, some of the jumps over spikes are very tight. Nice and generous with the respawns, which is good! I found the movement scheme confusing, perhaps should stay with movement relative to player character rather than screen - so climing up wall which faces left is right key not up key ?
oh_cripes: Have you tried ducking? : ) Pressing the down arrow when not standing on a platform makes your character duck! That's the only way to avoid those rocks, and that passage was created to force you to discover that :D
mrexessive: yep, lots of death. Some cross between Knytt and VVVVVVV here. It would be too short otherwise! But all traps are avoidable ;D In relation to movement relative to player, could be. I think it's the animation what confuses you: the character should crawl when climbing, not walk, maybe...
Thanks for playing!
I like this game. It's rather punishing in some areas, though.
Very addictive and fin, that platforming si pretty sharp but did find that it felt as if the jump was a bit delayed at times. Really enjoyed it overall, that last tunne beat me, very tough!
well done - so much fun getting to the end
Tough, but really fun. It does a great job of teaching the player with very little tutorial. You learn and use your new skills later and that is fun! Nice job on this one.
Very hard at first, but I had lots of fun :)
Pete_H, have you tried downloading it? I also feel the web version a bit laggy, sometimes :(
This game is good.. but im noob XD.. if you have some time also check my project :)
The sound effects are funny! In some parts of the level I can't stop dying, but I keep trying.
I liked the mood created by art and sounds. The game is fun and I completed the whole thing. Pretty cool!
It's a pity that controls don't feel too responsive, and the wall run mechanic is a bit confusing. Nice game anyway, keep up the good job!
Awesome! Only downside is, that when you die, you still have the same velocity. Resulting in multiple deaths that feel quite unfair.
Great entry! Your game has a really cool retro vibe in gameplay, graphics and platforming, nice job!!
Nice concept!! I like the platformer style, changing "gravity" over the walls.
Controls are a bit difficult at first, maybe because you don't go forward on the wall, you go up.
I like the art, funny sounds and good controls, it would otherwise be great game, but there is some insanely brutal pixel perfection requiring spots that get super frustrating fast. It started promising enough, but then kicked up difficulty like crazy right after the beginning. Especially the far right area needs a checkpoint before those rising fireballs.
Game offers traps and hazards very challenging to deal with. At some point I couldn't cross a hazard, only after some time I found that I could duck. :(
I have a lot of fun with the game !
Nice idea! Some of the segments are hard to react to (I didn't know I could crouch!)
Way too hard for me. But I'm sure a lot of people will find it just fine. Cool art and very nice game design. There're some parts where checkpoint don't come soon enoght.
Very good!although i stuck somewhere,i'll play it again in the future for sure!
The real difficulty of the game comes from the really heavy controls. It takes forever to come to a stop, it takes forever to reach your max speed.
Jumping felt very awkward.
Wall climbing controls are still confusing to me.
Players hitbox doesnt match his sprite.
I could not get past the lava jump =(
Fun game, very hard.
I should fix that lava jump, it's way too difficult X(
Instarespawn and Hardcore mode set as default. Just like the old great glories. Insanely fun to die over and over again. :)
Woooah!! Funny platformer!
I liked the sounds a lot, did u do them by your own?
BTW Well done!
Damn, I can't pass the where you must jump between 2 lava holes. It's too far away xD
The sound effects are great and the gameplay is good. Only the controls a re not so responsive as they should be in this kind of game.
Overall, I like it :)
Love the game, great job!
Cosy sounds! Really interesting wall walking/jumping, feels kinda weird in a good way. Simple and challenging. Good work!
Very fun single-screen game. I like the wall-walk mechanic. It gets pretty difficult near the end but overall very nice.
This is a problem I've seen with a lot of ludum dare games this time around. There's no immediate or clear indication of where or what the player actually is. I had to fiddle around for a minute trying to find out where I was. Perhaps a solution could be starting zoomed in on the player character, and then zooming out to show the rest of the level.
Another problem I have is that your interpretation of the theme ultimately equates to there only being one level, thus eliminating any replayability.
Best platformer so far. I wish I could complete it.
Nice platformer, I think the leveldesign and difficulty curve was totally ok until I reach that part at the bottom right of the screen when you have to climb with two spikes + a fireball. I could never get throught it. The sfx were fun :)
