can't play because the data files are missing

zenkerdus 2015-08-25 08:07

"Data folder not found"

parsia 2015-08-25 08:15

@Phoenix, @Zenkerdus Sorry I forgot to copy the data folder
i fixed it and you can play it now.

Excellent :) Makes me think of limbo. Maybe he is just dead ? :P

parsia 2015-08-25 08:59

@Reyn Thanks for your comment, i think he's just a good monster :D, kind of odd! :)

The checkpoints are kind of buggued, as you can trigger them while dying, thus respawning to the next step without beating the puzzle.

Otherwise, concept is great, would have loved to see more detailed art and sound but meh, nice work for a first LD !

Fiancee: Arent the humans running like mega man?

I was expecting the good monster theme to pop up at some point, liked the puzzle ideas. Maybe some winning "stuff" would be nice at the end? (some victory music and close the game or some such)

@AzureAspect
i had no time for music and stuff, i just managed to finish the programming and design.
i will work on this game in the future.
thanks for your feedback.

stanov 2015-08-25 09:28

Love the puzzly level-design!

grynca 2015-08-25 09:56

Nice puzzles,
little hard to drive humans on the right place though

parsia 2015-08-25 12:08

@Zephyr Raine , thanks for your detailed feedback.
i fixed that checkpoint bug and uploaded the new version.
about the art, i have to say that im not an artist and i have no experience in creating arts, but i tried to do my best. but for sound and music, i ran out of time, so the game is silent :D

could really use some music but I've submitted games without audio before, too - we've all been there.

Great work, well done game and nice idea.

raducumiczzz 2015-08-25 23:05

love the submission. great work.

galvesmash 2015-08-26 13:19

Nice puzzles, loved how you explore the theme and the humans to comlete the puzzles. The blue buttons are the hardest!

parsia 2015-08-26 13:44

@GalveSmash thanks, im so glad you've enjoyed my game. :)

chimeraant 2015-08-26 20:55

Can't play :(

boskosokolov 2015-08-26 23:36

nice idea cool mehanics good job

zxeno 2015-08-27 08:19

Had fun with the puzzles. More closure would have been nice though! Lack of sound was somewhat disconnecting.

parsia 2015-08-27 08:27

@ZXeno , yeah you are right, unfortunately i was alone and i ran out of time and couldn't work on the ending and sound/music.

tselmek 2015-08-27 08:39

Nice entry, the graphics aren't that great and the platforming is a little clunky and slow but the mechanics are really interesting and the puzzles well designed. Also liked how you used the theme. I would play such a puzzle game if it was expanded in the future. Great job for a first entry.

pixzleone 2015-08-27 09:31

cool game :) very difficult jumps though

lebrokholic 2015-08-27 09:41

PuzZzles) Anyway, I suggest you to work more on the graphical content. Good luck!

darkflint 2015-08-27 21:10

I didnt expect a puzzle game here, but it was fun! Music would have been really a nice addition, but who are i to talk? Have no music either :P

brianbruggeman 2015-08-29 12:43

I love platformers. I wanted to play, but no mac port. (sad panda)

anaglyphcoding 2015-08-29 12:50

DUDE, THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Possible the most original entry I've seen so far. I actually loved it. However I noticed that the humans had the same running animation as megaman, which I guess is one of the reasons you opted out of graphics. Gave 5 for innovation and four for most of the other themes, well done! :)

skt 2015-08-29 13:02

Great game and good idea, I had so much fun playing it !
The monster is a little slow (it was hard to jump sometime) and too bad there isn't a music (but you already know that).
Nice job !

nowandstudios 2015-08-30 11:05

Original gameplay! A fresh perspective of puzzle mehacnic. Congrats

crucknuk 2015-08-31 15:30

Interesting puzzle mechanics. I liked it! good job!

crowbeak 2015-09-03 06:36

Good job making something that would have been hard to achieve/think of with any other theme.
