Its very simpple and boring game. You get tired of it in first few attempts.
The game just crashed for me.
Same for me, got a crash at launch.
Congrats on participating.
That said, definitely some design and tech issues here.
I encourage you to keep working and keep jamming.
@MrBrenan can you tell me the error message? I think I know what it is and I can fix it
Sadly, your game crashes on my computer with no error message of any kind. Was hoping to give you some good feedback!
Windows 7
Intel i5-2500K
8 GB RAM
PyGame can be tricky - good luck getting it fixed! Let me know if you figure out the problem and release a new build.
1.From my experience as a game designer,its a good idea to keep things organised,as I have lost many an asset because I forgot the name and I could not find it.I had trouble even finding the executable in the extracted folder.
2.The game crashed upon launch. Too bad,but its not the end of the world. I took the liberty of snipping the error message:

Good luck next time,and Im sure I would have enjoyed your game!
Sorry, couldn't play your game, it crashes the moment I open it up.
@johnbjuice I uploaded a new build and I think I fixed it, pretty sure it was a resolution error. If you still want to play it, re download it
Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
Can't play! I think its broken. Still, dont give up!
Mine crashes
Can't play. The game crash : http://prntscr.com/cc263n.
It gets boring quickly, but it has nice art and the sounds are really fitting.
Crash on load.
Windows 10 64 Bit
Game just crashed
Unfortunately the game crashes on start up because the 'MSVCR100.dll was not found'. You should run something like depends (http://www.dependencywalker.com) on your .exe and make sure to ship all necessary DLLs along with it.
This is a pity, I had a look at your graphics, they look cute, I would have loved to watch that caveman's head explode ;-)
@gonutz @czester16 @Coomzy @Mffking @Givit Game Studios @Elias @Senor Salty @johnbjuice @josehzz @cortica @MrBrenan
Fixed the crashing error! Re download it if your still interested.
Im also having a direct segmentation fault. Im interested by the way.
It still crashes for me, unfortunately :(
@Mantlair Got it to work for good this time! Re download it and it should work
@Mine10blox I still get the same error message:
---------------------------
main.exe - Unable To Locate Component
---------------------------
This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
---------------------------
@gonutz fixed it for good. If it doesn't work I give up.
@Mine10blox this is kind of funny by now, it still gives me the same error :)
If you want to fix it, all you have to do is go to your C:\Windows\System32 folder, locate the MSVCR100.dll and just pack that along with the rest of the game. This is your Visual Studio's C-runtime, which I do not have installed on my system because I do not have any Visual Studio currently installed and never installed a program that shipped with the DLL.
@gonutz got it to work, but I probably didn't actually
@Mine10blox, I was lumped in a impossible situation that killed me, which is never fun in a procedural runner like this, there wasn't really any challenge or interest to play, would have been nice if I could have "played again" with the spacebar, don't want to go back to the mouse ever time.
I did 2048. Had fun. Holding the jump key mechanic is good. And overall game does its thing as a simple infinite sidescroller. Only thing I can say as a minus is you might get in a condition where you cant save yourself and die. If It was somehow made sure like "you can always have a way to survive" with extreme reflexes Itd be much much better. (which is not an easy thing to do btw, I dont know an exact solution for this.) Overall great job for first time! Nice music also!
@Mine10blox now I have another error, saying:
---------------------------
main.exe - Bad Image
---------------------------
The application or DLL C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\Caveman in Time\MSVCR100.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I guess you have a 64 bit system so your MSVCR100.dll is 64 bit only... this is getting better, though :)
Score: 3819
At this fast speed background is not so smooth and it tickles your eyes - not good (probably it is due to pygame).
A small warning before the spear appears - nice move.
Runners is a quite specific thing and some people simply don't like it. It requires only skill and there is no decision making process (jump or not jump, huh?).
But overall implementation feels complete.
Keep practicing and making games. Good start.
And yeah, this was the first game (out of like ~40) that made me laugh out loud because of the spear and head blown sprite. It was just hilarious. And this is a good sign, right?
@gonutz I think it's just your computer, it works for everyone else. Maybe download Visual Studio C or something, not sure what else to do.
@Volcanic Giraffe thank you! I was waiting for someone to point out the head explosion, and also thanks for the feedback!
This is good, but I don't see the point of having distance and score :p Maybe have score just track your distance, or age in time? Also, I'm not sure if I'm just bad, but the game seemed to get pretty darn hard around the 100 AD's. An option to slam down faster would make the game more possible , as then you would be able to dodge things more easily, allowing you to get farther. And if people can get farther, maybe have the background or object change to depict something of this age? (I'm sure you've had that idea, and maybe even implemented it, I just couldn't get there) :P
@Mottafier yeah, I had a whole idea of getting into different eras with different enemies, weapons, animations, backgrounds, etc. I, like half of the people participating ran out of time. I wanted to tamper with the speed of the level a bit to make it easier. I'm just wanted to get the timeline in because I thought running on a timeline was genius. Thanks for your feedback though!
Simple, well made runner! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/CncUh65BgMw
