Trippy. Shout outs to that audio, really sets a mood, and that goofy looking character. Not a veteran game designer here, but randomly generating maze stuff sounds p impressive, no idea how you did it. Walking on walls blows my mind in more ways than one. Was this stuff difficult to pull off?

Tried it out and can say a few things.

The artwork is simple, which is a compliment as in this game's case. The more abstract it is, the better.
The sound is pretty much perfect. The running sounds actually surprised and impressed me.
The camera and movement is a little weird, attacking animations feel off but overall there's nothing really bad about it. Just awkward.

Combat is simple enough. Melee lizards from behind and reflect bird attacks. The bad is that the birds attack too slowly for me. Causes me to lose a little patience with them. No worries.

Pretty solid. Wouldn't mind seeing something like this expanded on in future.

Can't play you need more downloads for systems like linux.

@pianoman373 Sorry we ran out of time, check back tomorrow and we should have mac and linux.

The wall walking and maze generation is great. However, the camera and walking need to be adjusted. The melee attacks seem to finish no matter what you do once you start attacking. This could be really good if you guys keep working on it. I hope to see an updated version!

The game was really fun to play but the response time of the attacks were a bit slow but overall a nice game. Keep it up!

Unique concept! I had problems with mouse look when the game wasn't full screen though.

Mood, Audio, and Graphyc-Stile fit together nicely, Gamplay has some awesome mechanics, but feels a little weird.... but still nice done !

(there were some bugs where I fell out of the room but I always got teleported back so.. no big deal)

Very good idea and art of the game is really very cool

This game doesnt have a lot of gameplay, however the way the gravity is simulated and how trippy it is makes it a lot of fun just jumping around. The character has amazing hair :P

I liked the visual effects on the character animation when I attacked with the sword. Able to walk on walls was pretty neat. I did fall outside the room a couple of times, but did not interrupt the gameplay.

i like the idea very much, but i had some probles with W-A-S-D controls, my avatar dont move for some reason...

Really nice graphics! 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/_uiGr8frPv8

Nice concept, but attack animations run for suuuuch a looong tiiime that they get in the way of playing

Good idea and very dynamic gameplay! Cool graphics and neat sounds that set the atmosphere. Pretty solid game, keep it up!
