Linux zip has Windows executable.

delicioussalad 2021-04-26 02:55

Your Windows build is missing the UnityPlayer.dll and and UnityCrashHandler! Your game can't be played unless those are also uploaded

corbeng 2021-04-26 02:56

Can't play it :( Says its missing UnityPlayer.dll

swordfish 2021-04-26 03:01

Unfortunately, I also can't play the game as UnityPlayer.dll is missing. Hope you see these comments and get it fixed.

piratehearts 2021-04-26 03:05

Just chiming in with another "UnityPlayer.dll was not found" comment.

kristinamay 2021-04-26 03:05

I can't play this game either as the mac version has an .exe file.

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 03:10

Why? You should be able to play!I put everything in!I'm uploading it again on Itch.io.Check it out now

corbeng 2021-04-26 03:18

Glad you're seeing the comments :) However, now it says "Failed to load mono"

Still can't play it :(

thatmanrobin 2021-04-26 03:21

Same, said unable to load mono. Was hoping to give this one a try! Hope you get it fixed and good luck!

hestrateja 2021-04-26 03:22

@lakshyaisagod same as the comment above, "Failed to load mono"

elsombrero 2021-04-26 03:29

Why can't I play it guys?! Said UnityPlayer.dll was nor found

rhys-vdw 2021-04-26 03:32

You've got a new error now... 'Failed to load mono'. Maybe try testing your build before you upload it?

2021-04-26 03:51

:( :( I'm Building it again.SO Sad:( First time this is not working. If anyone knows how to solve this please tell me :(:(

2021-04-26 03:54

I can't play it :((

2021-04-26 03:54

Maybe try it as an WebGL??

2021-04-26 03:55

The Game looked so good.The Tagline on Itch.io made me fascinated, resolve the problem dude, maybe you can win

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 04:00

Building it again sorry :(

danvil 2021-04-26 04:35

Fatal error: failed to load mono

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 04:41

@danvil I'm sorry Mate resolving the issue as we speak

pixelportalz 2021-04-26 04:43

@lakshyaisagod thank you! Can't wait. (Would love to see a Linux build or a Web build!)

secretjuice 2021-04-26 04:46

I can confirm, "Failed to Load Mono" issue is present.

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 04:49

:( Its 3 am at my place and I just woke up to a bunch of errors.Im working on it.

dirkinz 2021-04-26 04:50

Also getting the Failed to Load Mono. I don't know unity but according to this: https://forum.unity.com/threads/failed-to-load-mono.540209/ it might have something to do with having the wrong DLL packaged with your game? Best luck resolving the issue. I'll be back tomorrow to see if you've got it.

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 04:57

@dirkinz Thanks.Im checking the errors as we speak.

55-maximus-55 2021-04-26 05:14

Windows 10 error: Failed to load mono

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 05:18

@55-maximus-55 I'm sorry :( I'm working on a WebGL version but it corrupted my Baked Lighting. Will do it ASAP

oxrock 2021-04-26 06:08

Failed to load, hopefully gets fixed soon.

rushhourz 2021-04-26 06:44

I think your zipped folder is missing the "Bleeding Edge Mono"(should be called something like that) folder

voidsay 2021-04-26 06:50

How did you get over 100 ratings in less than 7 hours?

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 06:56

@rushhourz @voidsay @corbeng @corbeng @swordfish @dirkinz @rhys-vdw the Game is now working, Play it now boys!!

emanvidmaker 2021-04-26 07:01

Novel Idea, but confusing execution could use more polish

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 07:10

@emanvidmaker thanks bro, Appreciate it

secretjuice 2021-04-26 07:11

It reminded me of the falling maps in Minecraft! Really cool idea, if a bit rough on the edges.

william-corrin 2021-04-26 07:11

@voidsay pretty sure thats "Ratings Given" Which would be the games this creator has scored, not the score he is receiving. Could be wrong though tbh lol

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 07:14

@secretjuice thanks, appreciate it

hotpaw 2021-04-26 07:20

Solid gameplay, finished it way to fast and it felt a little to easy :D So only feedback is more levels really to get a feeling of the game ;D

voidsay 2021-04-26 07:22

@william-corrin I know that, I am just deeply disturbed that @lakshyaisagod has played games for more than a workday at 5 minutes (or less) a pop, while also fixing his upload blunder, commenting and presumably working on his game up until the last moments of the jam. His veins must hold pure caffeine or something.

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 07:26

@voidsay multitasking!Right now its morning in my area.I can probably continue this for another 15 hours!

voidsay 2021-04-26 07:35

@lakshyaisagod you are doing something wrong. LD is a chilled jam (after the game making of course) and you seem to be rushing so hard you hardly even see the games that you rate. I am unsure about the comments you write below those games, but I am positive that they are not very insightful.

voidsay 2021-04-26 08:12

I didn't want to call out your bullshit earlier, but now I have evidence that makes it very clear to me that you cheat.

Please explain yourself:

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/hole-explorer 1.png https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/deirdre-pedro 2.png https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/madman-the-crazy-scientist 3.png https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/mind-hunter 4.png

You have been rating over 140 games at 2.4 per minute for the last 5 hours (that is the time that I determined from metadata) and robbing the jammers blind with fake comments. Even if I was to give you the benefit of the doubt, you'd still be rating a game in 2 minutes and 30 seconds on average. That is not normal and your ratings skew the results unfairly.

This is unsportsmanlike behavior and I am asking you to stop at once!

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-26 08:16

@voidsay I have stopped

voidsay 2021-04-26 08:24

Good, now you have 30 days to fix this messup.

Go to https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/my/grades and work down the list. Either play the game and leave a legit comment and rating or apologize and retract the rating.

I will check up on you. And I check **very** thoroughly, just ask @tolmera.

voxel-forest 2021-04-26 08:54

Nice work ! Tough the character has soooo slippy controls, and also, why your healtbar goes down when you right-click ? Despite those things, that a pretty fun game !

dynamix 2021-04-26 09:14

The gameloop and gameplay idea is fine but it could use more polishing. When the level start the camera should point downwards.

hilvon 2021-04-26 09:50

Well... My fist impression of this game was: 90 ratings given and 0 received? (That was a couple hours back when I only woke up and started rating other games) This looks fishy...

But then I noticed that comments and figured out that that the first uploads of the game were not playable, so probably this is the reason of low ratings received count. Still the high number of rating given looks hella sus.

Anyway to the game merits on their own: - The gameplay loop is boring. Basically all you do is fall down. You have too little control over your descend to catch any score points or avoid obstactes intentionally, so its all mostly down to luck. On top of this, the obstacles you are supposed to avoid actually do nothing other than stop your fall.

- As mentioned in the comment above - the fact that your character starts falling down and looking sidewise does little to help.

- Graphics look nice, but the textures look kind of too high quality for something that was created during the compo. I have no qualms agains using pre-existing assets in the game, but then it should be jam category, not compo.

- Sound is nice.

monkeybit29 2021-04-26 09:54

unfortunately, much shorter than I expected. obstacles started becoming messy, maybe scale down and space them out a bit? Would also be cool to hear some feedback upon collecting the coin. All in all, good job on getting it done on time!

sharkmax218 2021-04-26 10:03

Novel Idea

vegmuffin 2021-04-26 10:15

Just came hear to say that your comments are everywhere and that's a sh***y way to market your game. Gday

asdehielo 2021-04-26 12:09

The concept is cool, I ended up wanting more levels. The controls are a bit too floaty for me though.

Very enjoyable nevertheless.

mudlee 2021-04-26 12:17

I just came here to ask: why did you even try to cheat @lakshyaisagod? This is a contest without even a price, cmon.

Other thing is that I wanted to try out despite this, but you even messed up your game's page. You claim your game supports OSX, but downloading the zip I realized it's for win and linux only.

I gave up here.

bw-devel 2021-04-26 14:09

Your code history shows several of the files were written well before the jam, weeks even.

hotpaw 2021-04-26 14:54

@bw-devel they also go around writing ( best game ever 5/5 ) on peoples profile and then change it to " nice game " after they get a feedback like.

henriquecanella 2021-04-26 15:21

Well how can i say, the game fells like, unnecessary ? I actually didn't do anything and i won the game, like i just pressed the buttons and than win, without doing anything...

wall-jump-games 2021-04-26 16:13

@lakshyaisagod please stop cheating! You leave fake reviews. I thought maybe you were being nice when you rated my game 5/5, but then I checked itch.io and I still had no downloads. Please either A.) Play my game and leave feedback, and change your review or B.) remove it.

plazyqwerty 2021-04-26 17:05

Is this person cheating? I can see the SAME comment of his everywhere, and that's clearly cheating. Is there a way to report?

swordfish 2021-04-26 18:49

I feel like I shouldn't be super negative, but this was not really worth the wait for me. It was a game. It worked, once I could run it.

I felt really bad for you when this game first popped up and it wasn't working right, because I think we have all run into bugs and problems.

But, the evidence of you trying to cheat the system in the comments here evaporated my sympathy. Hope you learn from this experience, and do better in the future.

pohko 2021-04-26 20:04

Super disappointed you're trying to cheat the jam ratings.

axeltherabbit 2021-04-26 20:09

@plazyqwerty already reported, this is the answer from the creator of LD:

"" Well they're in for a surprise. 😉As of a few events ago, "coolness" is now mostly based on the quality of the feedback you leave on other people's games. For best effect, leaving thoughtful feedback on 3-5 games should have more impact than botting 100+ ratings. We also expect a few stray ratings and statistically remove 3 ratings from each game and average what remains to get scores. End of the day, all this effort of theirs is mostly wasted. When you see someone else leaving good quality feedback on your games or others, give them a like. This ensures the abuse goes unrewarded. I hope that makes sense.Regards, ""

I advise other people to not even try the game, there could be a malware since it's a fresh account and has a generic username, a malware could be there reason of "cheating" in an event like this.

If he wanted "exposure", it didn't work out well, pitiful.

cavedens 2021-04-26 21:41

Please stop leaving fake reviews

lakshyaisagod 2021-04-27 03:58

Dear everyone, I am extremely sorry for what I have done.This was my first Game Jam, I have just started learning GameDev in 2 Months.Hence, my amateur coding and design.I should have gone for the Jam, but I decided to Go for the compo and push myself.I did not know about all the rules of the compo.It is my mistake.I owe an apology to the Community.It was unsportmanship for me to cheat.I did not expect the game to get so many ratings.

With this I will now not give any feedback to any other game in this Jam.I will try to change all the 150 Games I rated , either write 'Sorry' or actually play the game and give constructive feedback.

I will not force you to play my game.My game does not deserve this many ratings.But I can confirm there are no hacks or malware in the game.That is a misconception.

From the Next GameJam,I will resolve my ways and do it correctly.This is the first and last time I will cheat.Hoping you can pardon my amateurish.

Taging the People who have commented on my behavior: @cavedens @axeltherabbit @pohko @swordfish @plazyqwerty @wall-jump-games @hotpaw @bw-devel @mudlee @vegmuffin @voidsay

Glowing regards, Lakshya

woolchara 2021-04-27 09:09

I just keep falling and falling and falling

caca 2021-04-27 11:25

Unfortunately, I'm just falling everytime I'm starting again :(

luketobin 2021-04-27 12:36

Feels very buggy, had to restart the game fully multiple times, but the idea is cool and enjoyed what I could play of it :)

prof-suarez 2021-04-28 13:28

I think you need to work out the purpose of the game. An infinite falling game is okay, but you don't have a real reason to fall. You could add like a Character that prompts the user the background or story.

sucher 2021-04-28 17:32

pov 2021-04-28 17:33

@lakshyaisagod Thanks for pledging to do better. :thumbsup:

I went ahead and changed your copy+paste comments to a "TODO". Feel free to edit and replace with actual reviews of games. Folks would greatly appreciate it. I also reset your Karma just to be fair.

Some good news: I'm working on an algorithm tweak that should stop this from working in the future.

maaxoom 2021-05-04 09:34

Best Game ever!5/5 SuPerB dude!!
