Great idea and challenging to play(in a good way)!
Charming graphics and audio (the sound effect when you dont have all the stars but try to enter the portal was hilarious). Game was kind of easy, but oh well. Best game I've played so far, congrats.
@camthestar @TheRuseman thank you, it means a lot!
I've found a few minor bugs.
If you haven't collect enough stars and go to the portal, the portal sound keeps playing.
In a stage, the text color clashes with the background color. It's black-on-black.
@Sadale Yeah oops i forgot to test that part but i didn't have long left and still had a list of things i needed to add however if i have a read of the rules, i may be able to change that. But thanks for your feedback.
This game very much reminds me of the old-school 90s games you would play off a CD-Rom. Pretty fun!
There are lots of minor things: it seems like hitboxes could be tweaked (I think I was able to kill enemies by just jumping next to them, not landing on top of them), there are a number of bugs (sand disappearing even when not touched, I got stuck in a wall one time, etc.), and some graphical quirks (e.g., unreadable text), but I think the biggest issue is with the level difficulty. I found the earliest levels to be the hardest, while many of the later levels were pretty linear and easy. I think if you could replicate aspects of the early levels onto the later levels, it would make for a stronger game.
Congrats on submitting!
@jodizzle thanks for the feedback I will definitely make the levels more difficult if I continue it for fun.
Nice idea regarding the travel-through-history idea, but I encountered numerous graphical glitches on Windows 8. The whole time there was a font-sheet overlay on the display, that shouldnt be there I belive. After the Egypt levels I spawned inside a wall and couldnt continue. But it has a nice retro feel to it, enjoyed the time :).
@Indiestry oh, im sorry that happened im not really to sure why that did happen actually :P but again im sorry.
Great to play, portal idea is neat. Simple and easy but yet challenging! Would love to see it turned in a more vast game. Keep up the good work!
Very cool concept of the game! Challenging as well. This is a great game.
@raducumiczz @MegasDragos1 Thank you both.
Great submission! Definitely unforgiving but thats the beauty of it. Also, its got way better 2D art than I could do!
@imdigitaljim thanks but i think the art looks terrible, im definitely not an artist :P and hardly even a programmer!
Classic platformer, I expected some additional mechanic, regarding that "you are the monster".
Story progression is kind of weird, but congratulations on amount of levels and content :)
@Rongon there was meant to be my, like your monster would evolve and stuff but i ran out of time :(
Surprising amount of content given the time limitations. I thought all of the mechanics were pretty cool and new ones were being added before the old ones got boring. The Story was a bit unintentionally hilarious, but in a good way. I thought it was great. Good job!
@SuperPokeunicorn thanks, i didn't really know what the story was until i finished it.
I got stucked in a wall when respawning in the third area. The idea was cool though
@r8berto sorry for that
I also got stuck, it happened at the begginning of the "I don't want to kill them" level. There are some minor bugs, and also you really shouldn't die immediately upon leaving the screen, otherwise pretty neat.
@sam1373 thank you for your feedback, im going to try stop that glitch/error now
Audio is a bit repetitive, but the game overall is good. Level design is amazing, it was really funny to play!
@ManuelGF thanks
Cool game. I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/De5lc4U-4hg
@Jupiter_Hadley thank you
You saved the world! Gameplay is fantastic, tricky levels and cool ending! Nice entry!
I like the level design a lot! Had a nice time playing it.
@puppetmaster @randoman thank you both
