LD20 — It's Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This!

Hangman by mattdev 2011-05-02T21:36:00

Thanks for trying it out. I think I probably did make the levels a bit too hard. If you're stuck, a good rule is to always try jumping and shooting a rope upwards; there's probably a block to attach to, up above the camera's view. I should've fixed these situations, but ran out of time.

alexlarioza: Really glad someone made it to the end :D. Yeah, there are still plenty of bugs with the rope system. The laggy jump key was something I was trying out, and just kinda ended up being left in, unfortunately. I wanted it to play a short jump animation before he left the ground, but never got around to putting the actual anim in. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the ending :).

mchnzr: Yeah, W for jump would've been better. I had it like that originally, but needed to allow for climbing up and down the rope, while swinging... and I needed to make it possible to jump off while swinging too, so jump had to go on a separate button.

Re: roping without jumping first: I reaally wanted to get that in, but ran out of time. The way I set it up, the rope disappears (and your character falls to the ground) if your character collides with anything. This was a temporary solution to the problem of swinging straight through walls, but ended up staying :/. It also meant that if you're not air-borne, you can't throw the rope.

Really cool idea. Like ratking said, could use some feedback, and perhaps a visual bullet that gets shot. Would be great if you expanded it with more weapons/items/etc.

Nice work!

Same as above- great idea, but also experiencing the input problems.
