It's a bit frustrating that you can't see the beginning of the next room, it sorta makes the game trial and error based on where you choose to jump down. Solid platforming controls regardless.

I really like the style of the graphics and sound, the levels are simple and the theme is very well applied, only a few bugs would need to be corrected!

hideos 2021-04-27 04:30

@archock Thank you! You made my day, seriously, this is my first time creating a song, but glad you like it :laughing:. And about the bugs, don't worry, we will adjust as soon as the jam is over

hideos 2021-04-27 04:38

Hey @ipodtouch0218 glad you liked the controls. About not being able to see the beginning of the room, this is the main mechanics of the game, making a very challenging challenge for the player and in a way forcing him to remember the strategic points of each room

ksks forgot cat mario, but vetical

omnes-ludos 2021-04-27 16:37

nice graphics!

hideos 2021-04-27 21:22

@omnes-ludos Thanks!

Nice graphics and platforming. Also one extra star for the Bingus profile picture.

gargantus 2021-04-27 23:05

I really like the simple graphics and the idea. My only issues is that the transitions should have been a bit faster and also you can pretty much skip every area past overworld without fighting

mauriciomunky 2021-04-27 23:08

I just couldn't get past the third screen :( The enemies are very hard to kill!

mega-marlon 2021-04-27 23:11

Love the toughness of the game. I like the trial and error aspect, it makes it really rewarding when you get far through the cave. Good entry!

bubbadubc 2021-04-27 23:11

well I was captivated by the thumbnail and agree that the graphics fit well together. That is a plus! The controls are good, actually, but the game itself is trial and error and that's old real fast. also the hit box is too big on either the player or the enemy but I was dying with maybe a pixel of room between them. The audio is pretty good too, sound effects matching with the music. Keep doing it!

limonado 2021-04-28 01:13

10/10 would play again

mockthebear 2021-04-28 03:00

The controls are good, the art too! But i dont deal very good with those insta-kills-repeat games thing. But thats something personal, still got an 5/5 from me

hideos 2021-04-28 03:55

@anactualhuman lol thanks man i appreciate you

hideos 2021-04-28 15:47

Hey @mockthebear , thanks for the rating, and about the trial and error, we agree with you and we will fix the level design after Ludum Dare

hideos 2021-04-28 15:47

Thanks @limonado

hideos 2021-04-28 15:49

@mauriciomunky We will improve the level design after Ludum Dare to make it a little less frustrating

megabr 2021-04-28 16:56

In my defense, level design was my last priority. pepe_sad.png

srrinio 2021-04-29 16:49

The pixel art style is great, but the game is really short D:

megabr 2021-04-29 17:39

@srrinio Sorry about that, one of the first things that Hideos did was the tile set but I was still programming the player's movement and I was always trying to do something well done and some useless details? Did anyone notice the contact effect of the jump at the edges of the platforms ? (although it is still a little wrong due to the edges of the platforms) And oh no. I found another game freeze while writing this message.

But thanks for the feedback peepo_love.png

megabr 2021-04-29 18:07

Ok... the freeze only occurs if you do something very specific in overworld02 (it's always him) and I promised not to change the definitive version until the end of the ludum dare, so ... this will not ruin your experience with the game.

ninjacatz 2021-04-30 13:23

Not a bad idea. The graphics are minimalistic. The first level is the most difficult for me, unlike other levels.

solah 2021-05-01 17:14

Very cool platformer, it is just frustrating that fighting isn't encouraged (3/4 hits to kill an anemy, 1 hit to die) and that dodging is a better strategy at every point. I think your music loops are too short, making them very repetitive, but your graphics are great! The gameplay is perfect also, well done!

weirdybeardyman 2021-05-03 13:32

It looks cool, and it's a cool idea but man is it hardcore. It just takes too many hits to kill enemies and they're too fast, and you fall between levels too quickly to dodge spikes, I guess you're supposed to remember where the spikes are but then the eyes come for you anyways. Nice entry though, I just wish I could progress through it.

diabolical-sloth 2021-05-03 16:46

nice pizel art but it's a bit brutal at the start to be honest

yaboycj 2021-05-08 12:44

Great Artstyle and very fun Platformer, but fighting sadly isnt really a good idea since it takes a long time to kill an enemy. Otherwise, pretty fun! Check out my game as well if you could! :)

sleepystudios 2021-05-16 17:05

Judging by the graphics I thought it was gonna be nice and casual but it was super unforgiving. I never felt like the game was unfair though, I liked having to try out a few different paths until I got the one that I thought was the best one. Nice work!
