I really like the idea and the graphics look awesome! specially the lava.
The only problem i find is knowing the correct path, sometimes i found myself just looking at the room trying to find a way to the exit instead of jumping.
I love it

Very nice idea! Graphics are cool, but it is lacking a bit in the sound department.
It would be nice to have a short counter at the beginning of the game so you could look around for a bit (without being able to move).

Well done!

For me it's a bit too fast ,but except that this is a really good game

Always a fun concept. Done many times before, but if it's fun why not. I don't see a reason for all the stress and fast rising lava. It's about finding the correct path and doing the jumps is hard enough without the lava.

Really cool idea, and the graphics are nice. I felt like the lava rose a bit too fast, you really had to move quickly if you wanted to reach the green orb. Other than that its a great game, nice job!

Fun concept but too hard. Also the character is only about 2 feet tall?

redpanda_ua 2016-12-12 16:47

@everyone thanks so much! And yeah I know it's a bit to hard, didn't have time to playtest enough to balance lava speed.

@Drtizzle awesome idea, I wannted to add like an arrow to show you the way, but alas, time was short.

@avalkyrie yeah, you're like a kid (than's an excuse really, it's just if the character was real life size, it would be hard to make a fun paltformer in a single room. Adults are too big to hop on furniture)

Interesting game. As others have said, little to no direction and fast rising lava makes it a bit tough. Also, the child sounds particularly man-ish for someone so small. Nice work, though!

Nice game, well done with theg raphics. It seems a bit tricky to find an escape path, but still, nicely done!

redpanda_ua 2016-12-12 18:34

Added WebGL build! Looks like Antialiasing doesn't work on it well.

conrad123 2016-12-12 19:26

Nice job! This looks cool. It's hard though!

otiose-ent 2016-12-12 19:48

fun little game, I like the idea! And nice 3d graphics!

berneytd 2016-12-12 20:49

Nice idea! Really fun to play, good sound and nice models.

I feel dumb, but I can't get to the orb on the first level. I got to the top of the couch and couldn't make the jump to the shelf. Maybe I did it wrong.

redpanda_ua 2016-12-12 21:00

@JimmothySanchez, try to jump on TV and get the higher ground. And it's not you, it's me not playtesting it :P

cr4zyt3rry 2016-12-12 21:30

Very difficult game lava rises really fast but that doesnt detract from my enjoyment of it!

aaaleee 2016-12-12 21:44

Pretty cool, it's not easy to figure out where to go after getting on the couch though.

Nice entry, I could see this becoming a more full fledged game if you were going to take it further. Although the assets and art are minimalist, I feel like you've done well with the graphical style and making the room look "hot".

The audio needs a little work, as others have said, it sounds like I'm a very manly baby (to be fair it honestly gave me a good laugh).

I would love to see more.

10/10 would man baby parkour again

redpanda_ua 2016-12-13 15:03

@mmason hahaha, thank you so much. I am indeed a very manly baby. :D

simboubou 2016-12-13 21:55

Difficult and cool. The movement was also quite nice with a good feeling.

alfadur 2016-12-13 22:26

A nice bit of tactical platforming! Maybe the character's height problem could be solved if the player couldn't jump as high, but could also climb on things :)

redpanda_ua 2016-12-13 23:12

@alfadur I thought about being able to climb, but climbing is not as fast paced :P

limered 2016-12-14 12:24

Nice game! On the contrary to some others i liked that i didn't make it on the first try (level 1).

mementogames 2016-12-15 00:09

Nice job, dude! Pretty and very tense. I just suck at it.
Never give up! :)

stepp 2016-12-15 12:25

Good game, even though at first you have no idea what to do and how to do it. After playing for a few minutes, I have been able to complete both levels. I think that the time given to complete them was just about enough.
Good choice of music and as much as I hated the sound of you dying, the sound after completing the level has been that much more rewarding.

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-12-17 16:44

Nice challenge. Never thought to make an actual game from this child game. The idea is pretty funny and well executed. Neat job, especially for such a short time !

stuffedgravy 2016-12-18 22:52

I actually suck and can't beat the first level, but I still enjoyed it! This is a good way to fit the theme into a platformer. I think the character might have been better themed as a cat or some other small animal that can jump, though having a super-baby that grunts like a dude is pretty wonderful. The lava is definitely tense, though I think a slow rise would make it more impactful. Lava grows so quickly you basically don't notice it until you're dead.

kawaiineko 2016-12-27 02:26

Beautiful memory of childhood when we used to play with our young imagination that the floor is lava and we have to jump from one imaginary platform to another. Nice idea, well executed. Creative way to work the theme.

zenmumbler 2016-12-28 15:31

It's that you wrote in the comments that jumping from the TV to the bookcase would work because I had given up :) Got both levels quickly after that. Nice set design and visuals.Indeed very short but a fun diversion. Congrats on finishing.
