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.

Nice platformer game :)
The concept is classic but well executed, with good ideas in the level design. The retro pixel art works very well, good job :)

Hi, very nice little platformer. Simple, yet very enjoyable. Though the physic was a bit weird though: low gravity felt as if were in space. Also, I don't know if it was intended, but when close to the walls, you slow down a lots.

I like the design of the main character. Jumping felt pretty good, I was surprised by the walljump mechanics. Good amount of rooms. Nicely done.

I tried to download the windows version and dropbox said the link had expired.

The link no longer works for download.

Simple game but with interesting level-design.
Especially multi-screen puzzle with water :)

Lovely graphics, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36 games, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/vrExnx4_kXk

That was somewhat disorienting, with the water flowing in the background and the background blocks making it hard to tell what's a wall and what isn't. There also seems to be a lack of proper platforming challenge, and it's simply a puzzle switch game.

Still, the art is solid, and the so is the platforming. Not a bad experience at all, could be a pretty cool Metroidvania. Also, is that Neptune??

That is a cool twist at the end! I'm not sure how I beat it, though! The screen faded as soon as I entered a room. I guess I switched all the switches?

I played it to the end, so I must have liked it! Some arbitrary feedback: I think the game would be more fun if the puzzles or platforming were more challenging. I feel like what I did was basically a fetch quest since it was about turning on all or almost all the switches I found. On the other hand, if there was more variation in the environment, the game wouldn't necessarily need added challenge because the exploration would hold the player's attention.

Just have a short play of the post jam version, and got to the final screen.

This is a nice looking game. Plays nice too.

No, I don't get the story, except that there is an end screen. Probably related with the map. Even though I noticed the heart.

@g12345 very true. it needs more nuisance the transition to the endinf screen isn't as clear I I would WAnt. There is even a chance a player misses the heart.

Explored a while, eventually got stuck and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. Figuring out some of the preliminary puzzles was fun, but I don't think solving them helped me learn insights to solve the larger puzzles. Decent platforming mechanics, graphics, good sound, although some footsteps and jump noises and switches and water flowing and electrical surges would have complimented the gameplay well. Nice job.

Really solid puzzle platformer. I got pretty invested but it seems like the character's posistion when transitioning between rooms gets bugged sometimes, and I got stuck in a wall :(

I might try the post jam version later.
