My first Actionscript game, inspired by an old crash-and-burn GM game of mine.
I sort of ran out of time, so there are some glitches (game freezes when you die before a checkpoint), and the last room is supposed to include the quote above.
This game is difficult. It's not bad, but... man, it's waaay too difficult. And the controls doesn't help either. The all-red graphics are terrifying, looks like I'm playing a Virtual Boy game, minus the 3D effect. A decent game, nonetheless.
Is it really that hard? Wow, I must have been playing too much meat boy. Next time I problably shouldn't learn a new language the same time as making the game. I'd probably have more time to fine tune it then, lol.
Game froze when I got here: http://i54.tinypic.com/qoj9jq.png Challenging game. It got hard right away and I had no time to get used to the controls. When I did it was fun.
Spikes are not clear enough, so no information telling you are going to die is clear either. Music is a bit repetitive. It is really hard to control, too sensitive, besides I don't see the theme relation. 'The day I died' is like a fusion of super meat boy with vvvvv :P
@Danik: Whoops, looks like someone forgot to put a wall there! @arielsan: The idea is that, at the end, you're supposed to keep falling, so you went all that way just to find there's nothing to discover (and VVVVVV/SMB are some of my favorite games ever, that probably inspired me). @badlydrawnrod: Yeah thats kind of what I was going for. I just don't think it would be as fun if it wasn't this hard.
Pretty weird, because it works for other people, but I got this:

I'm running windows 7 x64, it happens in every browser.
Thanks all for the feedback guys. I'll definitely try to improve this game and even expand it soon. I've had fun in this LD and I think I now have a good base for what could be a great game. Thanks for taking time to tell me your thoughts about this.
Nice, but really hard. And not too rewarding at the end, it's just a glitch screen like the one on the right side. Quite hard, and some check points could be closer. The music is ok, but gets annoying really fast.

That's all I remember. And red. So red...
