Uploaded at http://kraln.com/tlg for anyone who wants to play without messing around with chrome.

Also fixed some unicode file naming issues.

kraln 2014-12-09 13:41

Once I fixed the loading issues, a fun little platformer with a good difficulty ramping.

guimm 2014-12-09 18:18

Nice job. Needs a little bit of guidance.

diventurer 2014-12-09 21:18

I had fun, but I just could not get past the part after the lasers. I would assume that you need to double jump, but that doesn't work if you're already in the air. So I had to give up there. Also, I do like the little noise controller to the right.

sushidestroy 2014-12-09 21:21

Hard like a vvvvv or a super meat boy. Good Job ! Does it have sound ?

rzfmzn 2014-12-09 21:26

difficult as hell! :P gave up after the lasers :/
I like the graphics and the gameplay is great, good job :)

Really fun! It's very hard, though. I almost quit a few times, mainly at the first pair of lasers. Love how you made it fit the theme using the TV, and how the static slider was actually interactive.

thommy 2014-12-09 21:29

Nice game. The ending was a bit creepy, but I like that

shampop 2014-12-09 21:33

Simple but fun with a good difficulty

Good use of the theme !

guimm 2014-12-09 21:46

@SushiDestroy just have the sound of the television static (use the slider in the right) and in the end.

mrshoestore 2014-12-10 00:39

Nifty Idea, curious as to the thought behind the volume/static slider and it limiting visibility? I thought it was a great idea that you are kind of trading off one sense for another, but since there wasn't other sound effects it didn't really matter too much... just curious as to what you were going for

belowzerogames 2014-12-10 00:41

Good job , I didn't do so well though LOL kept dying on the moving platforms

nidolabz 2014-12-10 00:42

This game is very challenging and fun. I enjoy the retro view with the TV. The controls are fair. The problem is, I cannot hear any audio in the game. But overall, a good and fun game. Challenging with that classic feeling of victory after getting past the lasers.

ultravisitor 2014-12-10 00:45

Some of those leaps of faith are really tricky! I have to give up for now. More check points would be nice :)

sharky 2014-12-10 00:48

Great baseline for a good platformer. I'd be interested to see the game with better graphic's, enemy, a lil easier platforming(I know it had to be hard in this one because it's your only enemy, just saying though)

egos 2014-12-10 01:02

Really fun original and difficult
i reconize the lovely smothy movement of the construct 2 tile plugin. XD

Seriously good job.

guimm 2014-12-10 01:07

@MrShoestore I updated the post with the answer of your question.

equipejam 2014-12-10 21:02

good work(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

ishadow 2014-12-10 21:07

Nice platformer. It only needs more checkpoints and few jumps are to tricky.

diegohenriquez 2014-12-10 21:14

I what you did there entire game on one screen. love it it was really fun. even though i had no idea what that slider did. solid game. :D

guimm 2014-12-10 21:24

@DiegoHenriquez I put in the entry what the slider(static) do.

egos 2014-12-11 13:57

Is it possible to see the cource code capx i would like to know who to avoid the anomation probleme with tile based plugin in c2
Thanks

grabengroup 2014-12-11 18:23

reminds me of our game :D you even have lasers xD cool game ;)

asaratha 2014-12-11 18:23

Fun game, but double jump should work in the air. Very frustrating without it. The lasers have little to no build up so its very hard to dodge.

guimm 2014-12-11 19:41

@egos I am sorry, I am really "noob" in making games, I don't know much what's what you talking about. ;-;

@Asaratha I really think that is how a double jump works, just one jump in the air. Two jumps in the air is like a triple jump. But, if you can´t make any jump in the air, is because you already jump and not have seen.

And I am sorry, I did not realize the game was so difficult while was making and testing.

guimm 2014-12-11 19:43

I am sorry for my english to, I don't speak english! :P

odefus 2014-12-11 20:38

Some good level design there that actually required timing and precision. Not quite sure if the ending is supposed to mean something. If so; I didn't get it. Overall fun experience though.

arkrothe 2014-12-11 20:52

A great and polished platformer!!! Would love to see it with more features and content. The difficulty was just right, not too frustrating and not too easy.

chaoseed 2014-12-12 01:30

Well...this was pretty well done, and I like the "television screen" idea...It's so difficult, though! I mean, at one point you have to: 1) fall down and to the side and double-jump just at the right moment to get up onto a ledge; 2) leap up through a laser onto a ledge in a very short window of time while not going high enough to hit the other laser; 3) leap up again through a short window of time; 4) fall down to the side far enough to get onto a ledge but not too far as to miss it within that same short window of time, 5) ... probably some other stuff that I didn't see because I got tired of trying, all WITHOUT a checkpoint in the middle. It got pretty tedious...

But I mean, you made a platformer engine in 72 hours, so that's something. ;)

voider 2014-12-12 01:46

Good game. A bit hard for me :(

guimm 2014-12-12 01:53

@Chaoseed I used construct 2! I don´t have any programing knowledge. And yes, maybe I have fail a little in the difficulty, but some people don't think the same way! So I don't know.

But that's my first game!
And I just have 17, so :/

savethejets1 2014-12-18 22:18

I like the twist. I think there may be an issue with the collisions, it feels like I'm colliding too early.

flickta 2014-12-23 19:33

Wow. Just wow. It may be the best game of the Jam. Well, from what I have seen so far, it IS the best game of the Jam.

Platformer. Difficul. Original. Amazing! Final is also great.
I suggest everyone to play it and complete it, watching video is so not enough!

guimm 2014-12-26 23:01

@Tangible Games Thanks :)

jaycee23 2014-12-28 20:50

Did I just... kill somebody?
