Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.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. (you can already find several games from the jam there)

@steph88 Thank you. Sure, i'll upload when i come home. GL with the video.
lol nice and simple! i dont know why but all the char graphs became weird light rectangles xD but the game works fine!

@kingpirux Was that in a web version? I haven't ever built a web version in unity. So i don't know how to do that correctly. Windows and Unix versions work fine. And Thanks for the feedback!
i think it was because of some webgl problem, but as i said, you can still play the game. I tryed in chrome and worked fine, so maybe is a firefox thing.

Nice game.
But in some places checkpoints would be useful.

@Piotrek I agree with you. But we bit off more than we can chew. Typical for newcomers xD And Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated.
needs a jump sound effect, kind of breaks the immersion when i can jump and move w/o sound fx. I love how you can just kill the starting people even though they're just minding their own business and won't even bother to retaliate or flee when you attack them. I'm just casually walking down, and killing innocent people along the way. This makes getting better attacks kind of useless though.
I loved the simple, and somewhat confusing art style, but the position of say doors and so forth need to be adjusted. The walk animation is fluid and communicates a sort of 'swagger' well, the syncing with the walk is nice.
I played the web version and the caracters were just rectangles. I felt sorry for the defenseless enemies I was killing.
Anyway nice game for your first try. I liked the graphics style with the light around the character and darkness around.
The game is pretty intuitive to play. nice job on your first game!
dim lighting and ominous foot steps really fit the mood, although the walk sound cutting off when you stop walking / lack of jump sound was kind of jarring
this is a relatively short bit of game, but checkpoints would be nice. i kept dying on the part where you have to jump down and backtrack, cause I couldn't see the platforms under me, but I could see the ones above, so that could be a point to consider.
The puzzles are pretty easy, but I'm not say that's a bad thing, as there are some ludum dare games that are Waaaayyy too hard. Feel free to make it harder! Puzzles were also straightforward and not very confusing :). Good attention to detail. I kind of want to say throw in some false leads on later levels, but that depends on how you want your game to feel/play

I wanted to run your game on Linux but the archive is broken.
Really like the mood and ambient on the game.
Puzzles were simple and nice, they could use some difficulty but we all now that there's never enough time to actually balance things here after they're done heheh.
