Absurdly impressive work for Ludum Dare.
It's crazy how original this idea is! Major props! The idea of a world that is an infinite vertical wall is incredible, and already spurs my imagination (and probably the vertigo of people with a fear of heights).
I want to play a full fledged title set in a similar world. Also read some fiction set there! And... and... and...
I wish there was an option to rate the description/notes so that I could give it 20 stars.
Impressive work with the map generation, though I did end up reaching a level where you couldn't reach the exit http://i.imgur.com/zqQdm.png
This is obviously a just-getting-started kind of prototype, but this is a real solid core, and fleshed out with balancing and polish I could see this being an entertaining time sink. Great work for LD, obviously!

Don't be so hard on yourself, and ignore the trolls: The random generation is clever, and the pixels are stylish! Yes, it's obviously unfinished, but what you have so far shows a good eye for game design.

Haha, "Waiting for players. 1/3"
Very fitting, yet unfortunate, that this will be the experience most people have with your game. :P
I'll keep trying back occasionally, maybe I'll get lucky.

Holy cow, the art here is astounding. Loading this page, I thought, "There's no way that's a screenshot," and then it WAS. It's an incredibly entertaining feel, very well executed.
Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't hold up. The lighthouse moves around, and I can make it go left or right, but nothing it does looks at all like "falling" or "bouncing."
It only seems to move up or down arbitrarily and jerkily, hitting the ghosts yields no discernible correlation. At one point, I just stopped clicking altogether, and it didn't seem to result in me losing. Not that I could tell, anyway. The lighthouse kept moving around randomly.
I gotta give you high marks anyway, because I'm so impressed with the general feel of the thing.

Fun!
Unfortunately, "always hold the right arrow" seemed to be the answer 90% of the time -- you don't really coast fast enough downhill for it to be worth "saving fuel" that way -- since it takes a looong time to coast anywhere, you're still burning a lot of gas, AND you're making it less likely that you'll make it over the next hill.
I liked the mechanic, though, and it's some nice, clean and stylish art!

The random meteors are a problem when one slip-up forces you to redo the entire (slow) thing from the beginning.
It's not even really a problem with "difficulty," as it is with frustration: the otherwise interesting atmosphere is ruined when you're redoing the first 5 minutes of gameplay for the twentieth time.
It actually seems like a pretty good game: I <i>want</i> to see the rest of the game. I really just don't think it's worth it to redo everything up to the point where I last died.
I hope checkpoints were planned, but you didn't have time for them? With the addition of a checkpoint system, I think this would be a fun and interesting platformer.
The Word Alone by Matt Rix 2011-12-19T22:09:00
I always think there can't be any more original find-a-word-from-these-letters game ideas, and then someone clever like you surprises me.

That was... astoundingly distressing. Frightening in that cerebral and very personal way. Good job.
Clever mechanic for "listening", too, that first "aha" moment is perfect.

The .exe isn't running!
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found." I've tried re-downloading but the same error pops up when I try to start the .exe.
