Pretty cool game! Good job!

drauthius 2015-04-21 16:04

I really dig the art and the atmosphere. The web version didn't seem to have any health? (My guy was immortal, it seems.) Good job!

hotboxgames 2015-04-21 16:36

Oh man, this is awesome! The scream was pretty intense when first used, was not expecting that! I like the mechanic, could definitely see that being used a bunch more in a complete game!

Solid style, nice music in the background, seems to loop well and not too intrusive. Some good progression with unlocking abilities too, great work! :)

embalaje 2015-04-21 17:09

Thanks!Drauthius!
Yeah...it was sadly inmortal. It shouldn´t, I forgot to enable "dead" after testing.
It´s fixed now.
Now you can download both "Inmortal" original version" or fixed with "Die" condition.
Ah! and i´m uploading the 64bit(win/linux/osx)

Your comment makes me really happy HotBoxGames!
I want to keep working on this screaming mechanic, so the player can solve more problems.
Thanks!

Cool entry, liked the graphics and the music, and using the scream just feels so damn good xD

Good luck!

thegamefather 2015-04-22 12:06

Nice game, screaming mechanics is creative. Also the controls feels good.

asobitech 2015-04-22 13:03

The pico pixel graphics are so very awesome. Great animation.
Love the idea of the scream/earthquake.
Solid tight controls.
Excellent work.

kabutakogames 2015-04-23 08:02

Neat game, would have liked to see more to do with the earth quake

embalaje 2015-04-23 09:30

You`re right Kabutakogames. Me too! i´m on it!

kivano 2015-04-23 10:19

Nice game! Great job overall :)

pushmepullyu 2015-04-23 19:45

Nice Concept! I wish there was a way to peek down or extend the light range. Blind jumps down into long falls is a bit frustrating.

embalaje 2015-04-23 20:25

I even didn´t tough about that, that´s the problem when the creator is also the tester.
Thanks for your advice!
I'll keep in mind for the v1.2

phi6 2015-04-24 09:19

Love the style! Also made a platformer/Metroidvania thing, so I'm glad I found yours. Platform physics seem pretty solid, although variable jump heights would have been nice! Screaming is a fun mechanic but I wish I could see more of the screen, the darkness is a bit overkill! "THAT WAS TOO MUCH" haha. Top marks :)

richiebranson 2015-04-25 22:04

Dope! The scream mechanic is cool. +1 for the pixel art. Very well done!

gruhn 2015-04-26 15:06

Whoa. What a great game! Really enjoyed the visual feedback to the player's actions.

voider 2015-04-26 21:43

Great game. The graphics and sounds are great. It's really fun. Great job!!

thedarknightdu78 2015-04-29 22:19

Nice game ! Some bugs but really fun though. I like the level design.

kipelovets 2015-04-29 22:34

Nice style!

geekdrums 2015-04-30 16:25

How can I skip the opening?

embalaje 2015-04-30 16:56

Sorry geekdrums, I had no time to make this option. I´m working on it for the post-mortem.(I´m a "newbie", and made some mistakes that I´m not sure how to fix, this is one of them :( )
You can find some hidden lives to have some help:

Thanks everybody! I´m happy of your opinions! It´s my first time here, and the first "thing" I do and I find Ludum Dare AWESOME!
I´m learning a lot from you!

jmborden 2015-05-04 02:51

Opening is way too long and the sound is way too loud. Respect the player!

embalaje 2015-05-04 11:58

Thanks for your help jmborden.
I´m sorry if the sound was too loud. :(
I made the sound lower and now you can skip the intro(Also for the web version)
Of course the original file still on the main links to download.

seriouslycrunchy 2015-05-07 15:42

Very good take on the theme, nice little compact game that works excellently, good stuff!

sweetbyte 2015-05-10 08:11

Very solid game, perhaps the most innovative game I've played this LD. Yes, definitely a good take on the theme :)

Maybe the only problems I've found are the scream sound being a bit too loud and that it seems impossible to know where the rocks will fall when you scream.

But as I've said before, other than that is a pretty solid game. Well done!

raiyumi 2015-05-10 08:42

Pretty cool. The controls were slick. The yelling ability doesn't seem to do much, but it could be really interesting if expanded upon.

jakob37 2015-05-10 08:54

Nice! I enjoy the visuals and sound a lot. Intense controls, took some time to stop running into dangerous stuff.. Using the scream felt good!

yuigoto 2015-05-10 10:57

Whoa! This is really good! "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey"...*That was too much*...XD

Nice work with the pixelated graphics, audio and soundtrack! Controls also work like a charm! Game is also really humorous and fun! :)

volkoivan 2015-05-10 11:22

That was good, but for me it was hard to play. The scream mechanic is pretty hard to understand at first and the spikes are hard to see.
But that was a good and interesting one, it just needs more in-game tutorials on how to play.

jasonsumm 2015-05-10 11:29

Love the style ! I need to investigate construct!

sathorn 2015-05-10 16:13

Very cool, i enjoyed it. Some criticism: the font is hard to read, the spikes are hard to see, i didn't understand at first why screaming too loud was a bad thing, i didn't know what to do once i found the phone. Other than that the game is really good!

konwlege 2015-05-10 18:17

Cool game and concept.

sorlok 2015-05-11 02:25

Fun and interesting, although I had a hard time determining what "too much" was. Also, some of those spike pits were really unfair! Neat concept, though, and well executed. Great job!

embalaje 2015-05-11 08:59

Really glad about your comments! Thanks for your nice words and of course for the criticism, so I can make the game better.

I´ll work with those Spikes, yeah, they are unfair!

The font is self made-drawn, I have to fight with the resolution of the game 160x90px(that was challenging and fun)Next time they souldn´t speak at all, thought.

About the screaming concept: It´s like a "seed" I put it on earth and is growing up. I had to limit it´s complexity since I´m not a programmer and was out of time, but i´m definitely on it.

Cheers!

wademcgillis 2015-05-12 00:09

weeeeeEEEEHHHH

wademcgillis 2015-05-12 00:10

The spikes were a little too dark to see sometimes, resulting in loss of health/life. I died a lot at first because I tried to punch the worms once I got the punching ability.

embalaje 2015-05-12 15:36

Meh! I didn´t want to think about this issue. That´s a bad mistake. I have to think how to deal with it.
So V.1.0.4 should wait some days more
Thanks for your advice! I´ll fix this.
