Curse of the golden skull

Enjoyed what I played of this game! Music fit nicely, simple effective graphics, fun platforming.

But I got stuck early on at the checkpoint at the bottom of the level, where you drop the vase to reveal 4 wooden platforms. I’m probably just missing something obvious but I couldn’t reach any jumps past the platforms. It’s running pretty framey on my aging laptop so maybe that is affecting the physics.

Also I (should have but) didn’t realize you could walk through the wooden spike sections so I had some fun narrowly clearing that spike trap after the second checkpoint. That’s probably why that’s there. Great way to teach that mechanic.

Cool game. I love exploration type platformers like this.

If you have some exploration or at the very least non-linear progression (like here a side room for the red key and a loop back for the blue key), it's a bit annoying to have check points that register only the first time you reach them.

The level design in this game is great. I like how you have to backtrack sometimes after releasing/depressing buttons. The graphics were nice, and I though the music choice really fit the game.

However, the controls felt really floaty and unresponive. I had a hard time platforming with how slowly you move. It also looked a bit weird without a jump sprite. It looks like you're just walking on air.

Overall it's a good game.

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.
