The last Power Up : You have to type "LOVE" on your keyboard to use it... (it's my unconventionnal weapon....)

Nice little metroidvania :) Just noticed the game don't save progress I think you better put this info somewhere :/

zatyka 2015-04-20 19:18

I managed to get to the 3rd room, but have no idea what to do after that. Could you possibly post some controls and/or directions.

Did not rate.

sputnik 2015-04-20 19:58

I put it in the ***spoiler** section above in the game description. Tell me if it's clearer!

dkoding 2015-04-20 20:15

L.O.V.E. it! Really cool game.

alexdjones 2015-04-20 20:45

One of my favourite entries! Certainly the best looking I've seen so far, and I really like the Metroidvania-feel to the gameplay. Well done! :)

plaw 2015-04-20 21:47

This is quite polished. Nice work. Though, I got stuck in one of the blue doors. I was 'kissing' through a button and stopped right inside of the door and couldn't get out. Nevertheless, this is definitively one of the better entries.

ewchap 2015-04-20 22:15

Very clean and composed looking game. Good work.

sputnik 2015-04-20 22:42

Press R to restart

Looks and feels really good. It is smooth to play. I couldn't work out how to kiss though (Space didn't work) so I didn't know how to get past the spikes. Would have loved to though

infernobomb 2015-04-21 01:48

I worked it out. Went right to begin with, instead of left. Also, you appear to be able to jump once you've died

codecranker 2015-04-21 03:19

I managed to get two powers of love. Saving at checkpoints are helpful but they are way too many :p. Good work!

tetrapteryx 2015-04-21 19:56

It's a shame I'm terrible at platforming, I couldn't make it to the end! The concept is cute though, and it's a pleasant little game.

cowboycolor 2015-04-21 20:50

+1 for resizing the canvas when changing rooms
+1 for awesome visual effects
+1 for powerups/metroid like
+1 for kisses

I thought that was a great little platformer. Good controls / player response and some simple but effective puzzles. I had no idea where I was going, mind... Nice one.

zatyka 2015-04-22 02:42

So when I tried playing yesterday, the game started me in a completely different section of the map. It was a section that required a few of the powers to complete, so that's why I didn't get very far. I have no idea what could have caused the issue.

Anyway, I just played it (starting at the correct spot), and loved it. Excellent level design and fun gameplay. One of my favorites.

vidsneeze 2015-04-22 07:05

He he really nice platformer hybrid type. Man it felt soo good to hug those other cubes. The level design is really well thought out.

dyfer 2015-04-22 07:58

Great Idea and realization. Challenging game, that's an awesome submission!

hambone88 2015-04-23 00:04

WOW, amazing game! Really smooth controls.

dvdfu 2015-04-23 00:12

Everything about the visual presentation in this one is fantastic! Creative game mechanics, too.

xandy 2015-04-23 00:52

very nice mood with a good sound/music/gfx mix! gameplay is solid as well

os_reboot 2015-04-23 00:57

Very fun game!

nov1kk 2015-04-23 00:59

Nice game dude, polished and fun, great job.

robothobodanceparty 2015-04-23 01:04

This was SO COOL! This is very well polished, the graphics, audio and main mechanic were great. There were a couple of glitches with previously killed enemies staying upon respawn but over all the best game I have played so far! Amazing job!!

pkenney 2015-04-23 01:43

Damn this game is good! The controls are super-tight and the art and sound really make it come alive. The level layouts are great, too. So many nice touches, like the room transitions, the varying sizes, and the way you bring us back through the same room three times on our journey to give a sense of continuity.

The first time I played I skipped the first powerup, thinking it was a hazard. I got all the way to the long jump that requires kissing (the room with text) before I couldn't proceed. I also couldn't backtrack.

It was super-tricky to get there in that state because I couldn't kill enemies so I had to lure them onto all the triggers alive, and prop doors open with my head to make the timing. I guess you could say I got the extra-tough puzzle version!

Normally I would call it a session at that point rather than repeat, but the game was so good I wanted to see more so I restarted and beat the game.

sputnik 2015-04-23 02:28

@pkenney
Tks for your "studbbornness"! :)

javabot 2015-04-23 02:52

ok, amazing game, well done, great graphics and fun gameplay. You forget to erase all damage done when I die though. (corpses and the like%Pr

minibobbo 2015-04-23 02:52

I love these action platform exploration type games. This was very well polished and everything worked well.

A couple small things that I found.

There were a couple times where I would fall through one of the down doorways and onto some spikes. It's a little cheap but not a big deal because there was a checkpoint right at the top. But the problem is that the screen transition (which is a cool effect) never catches up to where I died, so I never saw where the spikes were. So I was forced to just repeatedly jump to my death until I happened to find the platform. This happened at two different points in the game.

When I hold up I didn't bounce any higher on the enemies. It means that to cross that one spike section with the button in the middle I had to repeatedly die to get the enemies to spawn and fill it up with their bodies to cross. It worked, but probably not what you intended :)

jmaggard62 2015-04-23 04:07

Great metroidvania! Felt very polished

6downstudios 2015-04-27 01:23

Outstanding entry! Well designed and quite a bit of fun.
I got stuck after getting the reflect power; the shooter enemy fell onto the button but the door only opened briefly.
Despite not being able to see the whole game I was very impressed by it all, especially the sprites and the overlay effects, made everything really cohesive.

tppr2046 2015-04-27 03:21

Nice work!! Very polished and completed!

jackrugile 2015-04-27 03:33

Wow, I was not ready for this one. I'm blown away, that was incredibly well done. I went to go vote just now and assumed this would have been a jam entry, can't believe it's compo. The viewport resizing for different areas was SO cool! You've got quite the talent, keep it up. I know this game will do well, hope you win at least a category!

sararycow 2015-04-27 12:57

I like how you designed the world, kinda reminded of a little scale metroidvania. Good job, I l.o.v.e. everything here!

embalaje 2015-04-27 15:14

Nice feeling with the gameplay and cool effects. Also interesting how you play with the screen size.
Good overall work!

dunin 2015-04-27 20:18

cool game.
some bugs (I got stuck by a blue wall on a re-spawn point, I crossed the floor) but the presentation of the rooms is really cool!
(just: first play, I avoid the big red thing until I had to "kiss" while jumping, and I realized that I didn't know kissing... It looks more like an enemy than a power-up...)

erkberg 2015-04-28 13:25

Awesome metroidvania style game! I loved the polished graphics and effects as well as the pretty flawless gameplay. It glitched a little from time to time, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. I really enjoyed this one, even though I had to scroll up and down in my browser on some screens. Great job overall!

deadbodyoutline 2015-05-04 02:51

I love this game! Love FTW!

saintheiser 2015-05-04 03:22

Good one, man! Good theme interprataion. Gameplay is well to. Nicely done =)

demy 2015-05-04 09:30

Wow, this game is awesome, I love the graphics.

frederickk 2015-05-05 03:48

What a well done metroidvania!
LOVEd the effects!

boateye 2015-05-06 05:54

Your Source link is broken. Could you fix it,please? I'd love to check out the source files for this game as you've done some really cool effects in Construct that i'd like to try in my next game.

Also, your game is great! I don't really have anything to say about improving it that't not a nitpick.

perecil 2015-05-06 10:19

Very cool and polished game. I especially love the block shadow casting, that gives a cool mood the the level design.

sputnik 2015-05-06 13:19

The source link should be ok now! let me know if it doesn't work...

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-05-07 02:01

Wow this might be the most polished entry I've seen! the mechanics are minimal but you made a lot with them. all the little details are there, from the screen shake to the static. great level design too!

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-05-07 02:03

by the way the post compo link gives me a 404

sputnik 2015-05-07 02:32

Tks! Now it should be ok .... (●´ω`●)

alvivar 2015-05-08 00:33

The gameplay feels really good (Y)

smirnov48 2015-05-09 16:33

Wonderful game! I LOVE it! but sometime is very very difficult.
