This was awesome

Hey, neat concept. I liked the idea of toggling direction, and the other key for jumping, however it made me confused at first. I reread description though and got it, not at all your fault, my fault :D One other thing though, was that the game was really slow, dunno if that was the 15 windows I have open, or whether it was just a slow moving player.

Boy those controls are awkward, but I blame the theme ^.^ Cute graphics. I would have liked if your guy could go faster.

Really cool game. Love the OG gameboy aesthetic, definitely took me back. Gameplay was very fun. Excellent work!

Simple, but awesome !!

I really like the 8-bit feel to it. Nice game, cool concept aswell. Could use some music, maybe try beepbox.com ;)

Seems like the game was kinda slow, and empty without at least sound effects. Overall, good game. I personally like the graphics too, basic as they may be

azor1 2015-12-14 20:20

There should have been sound effects for jumping, collecting stars, ect. What OS/version of java were you using?

Cool game, with great graphics!

However, the game was a little bit too slow for me and the hitboxes on the spikes were way too large.

The low framerate hurts my eyes

Little confusing at first , but when you get the hang of it it's awesome.

Love it! I find it odd how you can change directions mid jump but I guess it makes sense and adds more depth.

Good use of the theme, and great job designing levels around your mechanics!

I wasn't quite up the skill level to collect some of those blips over the spikes, but I can see how it could be done.

This is fun, but it's very unforgiving to have lives in a game like this. I would have liked to keep playing, but not if I keep getting reset to the beginning. It would be nice to have some control over how high or long the jump is, since it can be quite tough to line up multiple jumps in a row.

Well done! the controls are difficult, but once I got used to it, it was much better. Congrats on a job well done.

diest 2015-12-15 04:48

Sounds were really loud and it was real short. My only complaints!

sirsoltex 2015-12-15 04:56

great! the controls were a bit confusing at first

diebackstudios 2015-12-15 06:00

Just Love super pixelated games :D

chuigum 2015-12-15 06:17

Great job for your first ludum dare! Some nice calm graphics. Although I think with music, it would be even cooler.

geckoo1337 2015-12-15 06:53

Minimalist and funny. However the controls seem to me a little bit weird and awkward. Maybe if the player could walk more quickly, it could be really enjoyable. Neat ++

zaniarm 2015-12-15 07:44

Awesome game!

x92rwzb 2015-12-15 12:49

Nice little platformer. You used direction really well. Jumps could have been less high. Also it could have been faster paced.

tayloranderson 2015-12-15 17:01

i really liked the mechanic, i felt like the character movement was a little too slow.

ginnko 2015-12-15 19:10

Love games with simple art, nice entry. The controls are a little strange but It was funny. Good job!

bobsleigh 2015-12-15 21:18

Nice visual feel, but I find the controls tedious. I had more fun figuring them out in the menu than to control the caracter.

zeezgames 2015-12-15 23:27

Nice little game here :) i enjoyed playing and the tricky controls made it more fun to focus on what i was doing :)

Well Done!

gamepopper 2015-12-16 19:41

Pretty good platformer, a bit slow for me but the goal was clear and the levels were pretty challenging.

shadow64 2015-12-20 07:38

A good amount of gameplay out of the two buttons. I liked the dynamic of the jump being a known amount so that changing in midair made it really interesting. Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep working on it. :)
