I definitely like the dynamic of this game. Too bad that it doesn't have any sounds - even a simple collision sound for a sword hit or being attacked by enemy would help a lot.

Great game!

I thought the harsh gravity made making the jumps very hard. The artwork looks amazing though.

Yep, the game is definitely hard as bricks as your pretty much are confronted with what feels like pixelperfect jumps from the very getgo. The ability to place checkpoints is a real saving grace though, because jumping over the spikes can get frustrating pretty quickly - > also some bees seem to have a little too much health. I was at a point when I wanted to try a hard jump and had to constantly spend time on hammering the space-key to get rid of incoming bees. However despite the lack of audio the game feels pretty polished and somehow the visuals seem to be inline with this being a difficult plattformer.

Cool game!

ISSUE SOLVED! IGNORE THIS! On Win7 and the RAR archive seems to be corrupted? Sadly can't play it..

paterjosch 2017-12-05 14:20

@KafkaLovesYouy reuploaded the windows archive, this time as .zip, maybe that'll solve it

I Wanna Be The Guy-den! No sound? Needs sound! Solid premise, though I don't think it sticks to the theme to well? Some crunchy sound effects and this is my saturday evening sorted!

fun, but it's getting so hard so fast, I just didn't have a chance :/

Great game! Really fun platforming, clever mechanic once you realise what it is. Unfortunately I had to close the game because is was lagging so much due to so many enemies being spawned, but it was still very fun :)

Good idea. Got some fun from this game.

Wow, the art and effects on this one are great! Found the platforming extremely punishing though.

Fun! Super hard but the main mechanic lets you trade the difficulty between enemies and the platforming. Graphics are really sweet. Some sound would really add a lot to the game -- just a sword clang, getting hit, and a jump sound would go a long way. Had some good fun with this one.

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsp8m-rrtCY

Doing a check to see if the spawner is within the view would help to lower the spawning (aufgerufen lol) also maybe do a check to see how many are in the room before spawning more. I love the graphics and the outlines! bfxr is good for soundfx and sunvox is a pretty great tracker for making music ;b Great job!

This create your own check point mechanic is great, the graphics are also really nice, had to finish the game, congrats

neill-robson 2017-12-07 23:51

Excellent graphics! I am impressed at the quality of the game's atmosphere. As others have said, the controls are a bit harsh, but you definitely worked well with the theme and produced an admirable final product.

For whatever reason it's super easy to accidentally hit spikes. Maybe the high gravity or something. Because of this the first two levels are way way way harder than the last two, very off-putting to me. I really like the createy-checkpoint mechanic.
