Ludum Dare #21compo
Carol and The Haunted Castle
Made using:
Coding:
Game Maker 8.1
Music and sounds:
Guitar Pro
ChordPulse
Mixcraft
Graphics:
Charas Project
Paint (Win7)
Paint.net
Plot: "Help Carol to escape from the Haunted Castle"
I didn't have enough time to create more rooms, puzzles or songs, but I'm almost satisfied with the 2.5D coding and the look and feel of the game.
The main "song" (actually a couple of chords) was made using Guitar Pro, hope you like it.
Hope you like the game too... use arrows to move and space to jump :) ... F4: fullscreen
2011-08-23 FIX: Please don't consider this for the compo, but I just realized that the characters are not centered when playing the game in a notebook with integrated GPU. The issue was that textures dimensions are not power of 2. I change it in a new version. So if you experiment the graphic issue please try the new version. (I didn't add anything just change the texture dimensions). More info in my journal

I rated this high, though, because I liked the atmosphere.
@Pierrec: you need to be stading on a block to jump over the guards :(
@summaky: yes the collision is not grid-based but I didn't have the time to polish the hitmask. Did you try the fixed version?
@Felipe Budinich Thank you, I actually consider myself a coder and not an artist , altought I love to make music for video games. Are you from Chile (I think I read about you in the Internetz)?
@tcstyle: yes I need to work on the jumping
