Oops, title is meant to say "King of the Cave" instead of "King of the Cane". Is there any way to fix that? :s

anaglyphcoding 2014-12-07 17:34

Not to worry, fixed it. :D have fun!

Nice 8bit game, though I did find the dark grass a little hard to see at times, but otherwise it was playable and fun to try and beat the troll.

Nice little platformer, it is like donkey kong.
The music is really nice!
The controlls felt a little weird, and I kept getting stuck on the bounce thingies.

Great audio, I really like the music. First part of the game was challenging enough without being too frustrating. I don't really get what the point of the trusses keeping the player character stuck in them for a random(?) amount of time is all about though, hard to tell if it's a bug or feature. Couldn't figure out how to damage the boss for the first couple of attempts. Tried to attack him by jumping from above with the sword but didn't do much damage. Attacking from the ground didn't do much either. The way I found was to attack the boss while beneath a tile so that you don't fly away and keep damaging the boss that way. Resulting in one hitting the boss. But that feels like exploiting the game mechanics instead of killing the boss with skill. Also the boss got stuck underneath a tile in the death animation one time and therefore never triggers the game over/victory event. Overall I had fun playing the game. Cool explosion physics also =)

I thought the fact that you hit your head on the ceiling was quite annoying and the glitchyness of the bounding blocks frustrating when TNT was in my face.

Good use of sound and cute graphics though.

Nice 8-bit version of Daft Punk :) it was fun.

Good job!

Nice concept! I really like it!

Nice game, good use of the theme. The holes on the grass are annoying because they are hard to see and I would take away the bounce when jumping. But the game is good in overall!

Quick and cute, nice job!

Cute graphics and nice tune! I kept stuck in the platforms. Nice job!

Nice entry. Why to put dark and ligth grass instead of simple grass and nothing ?

The music is great!
But I couldn't figure out how to beat the boss :(

The music is so freaking awesome! The controls could have been a little tighter but I really liked the game.

I liked the feel of the jumps; the feedback to the player was tight and they flowed with a nice rhythm, assuming that it didn't glitch when hitting the ceiling.

The glitches were a problem, especially when hit by the explosions. This meant I never got to the boss, but it was fun to jump around. Good job.

Love the old school look and feel. The music was excellent. I was confused by the sinking spots, I thought they should have been completely different looking so you know to avoid them. I couldn't figure out what moving squares and growing circles were supposed to be. I wasn't sure how the gravitating thing the circle did was supposed to effect what you're doing. It became very hard to reach the boss with that last layer. Maybe the hazards could have be more spaced out? Regardless of the critique, a fine job.

nice audio, cute visuals, a little rough though, well done

danidre14 2014-12-18 15:18

YOY! I'm the king :3
Or so I'll say! :D

Give Life Back to Music, by Daft Punk?
Also, there's a 3 block wide jump you have to make near the top of the level that got a bit frustrating. I reached the boss after a while, but there were some bugs during the fight, I think. Still, I think you overall did a good job! Keep up the good work.

Love the rendition of Give Back Life to Music from Daft Punk, hearing that made the game 10x better! :D

zompi 2014-12-20 22:53

That darker blocks... hate them. Those TNTs... hate them. That monster... hate it. It is harder than it looks and has oldschool feeling... 5/5 :D

Nice retro thingy.
Hard to master though.
Feels like this game wants a little more love to it (at least in button handling and jumping ladder things ;-) ).
Fun! Requesting replay button at the end screen!!!
