I may be alone here but I find it a bit distasteful when people ask for money on the download page for their LD games.

It's a decent game though. I like the music.

Too hard! I mean I couldn't even jump to other side with my jump boats 0.o

@rogual: It is a functionality that is built into itch.io. It's like their thing (making users make a small donation if they wanna support the developers).
But I get that when you have no knowledge of the site beforehand, it can come off as "begging".

Anyway, it was a great game. Really love the pixelart. The music was good too!

Great game, fun, nice graphics and music. For what the other commenter said, if he meant the voluntary price itch.io automatically asks you, I think it is ok.

Pretty nice, it plays well and looks good. Nice work :)

Quite hard. Check out my games if you like hard things haha. Good entry.

The sound effects are top notch, best I've heard so far. Art style is decent. Gameplay is pretty interesting with your different take on the double jump mechanic. It's very very hard though, I didn't beat it. It terms of the theme I have no idea how this fits the theme at all...

That was an genuine pleasure! Tight controls, clearly explained mechanics and solid level design. Best game I've played so far.

Damn I'm so bad at this xP
Cool little game, I love the art style and the color palette you used! Music is very nice, creates a good mood.
Maybe a bit text to read at the signs imo, but it still has an ok length.

Great little game! :)

This is probably the best game I've played so far. I'm a huge fan of challenging platformers so this is exactly the sort of game that I really enjoy. I thought having the 99 life limit was maybe a little bit too harsh though (I ended up with 18 left over on my first try). Also a fullscreen option would have been nice. I don't really like squinting at such a small window when trying to do precise platforming.

Atmospheric and complete game! I made a bloody mess of myself, over and over and over. After I got hit by the thing lurking on the ceiling above the key, I didn't know how I could get out of its way if I got to it again.

The blood running down walls of spikes as your body falls to the ground is fantastic.

Couldn't beat the agility challenge :(

I figured I'd let you know, this is the only Ludum Dare game I've ever come back to play again. It's just so frustratingly satisfying! I love it, and did manage to finish it after 3 attempts or ~260 deaths.

Tough game! Good graphics and sound. Like the touches like the bloodstains after you've been spiked/smushed. Would be good to have a bit more of a difficulty ramp up into the hard bits (introducing the moving saw blade things and stuff) but I understand the LD time constraints for that kind of thing!

Well done, thanks for sharing!

Ok, this game is awesome. I love hard game and puzzle game. The limit of 100 lives add to the trill to pass the game before a game over. Nice job! For me it's a complete game.

Did it in 175 lives (2 attempts).

A bug I saw : When I was in full screen, some text box did not show all the appropriate text (the line jump is not well placed).

Maybe you can give the player the choice to use arrow keys or awsd keys.

Really well made but oh so difficult (at least for me) ^^'

patacorow 2016-12-19 09:18

Too hard for me.. I didn't even finished the first levels and I tried a lot.
I like hard games that challenge your skills,
but you need to balance the difficulty so more players will feel comfortable to keep playing.

Overall - the graphics and the music is are well done
but in my opinion it was too hard at the start.

mrwillowb 2016-12-22 05:03

wow, way too hard for my simple abilities, nice game though.

Challenging game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/iiDZ_Pg3Qr4

Very challenging and well polished game. Good job!
