I had a lot of fun making this; I've been itching to write a platforming engine for a long time now. My only regret is that there just wasn't enough time to do all the things I wanted. I had plans for a much bigger story, spanning multiple levels. Oh well, that's just how it is.
No music I'm afraid. I really wish I'd had time to make some, it would have brought a lot more feeling to it.
OK... so at first I was confused about the theme. Then it all came together wonderfully. GREAT INTERPRETATION! The animations oh mah GAWD the cuteness factor is off the charts. The little umbrella... ugh. I just wanted to squeeze him... whatever he is. Needs audio. A great song would really tie this together.
Great game! I loved the main character and the whole concept. At first I though the name of the game was very generic but I liked the ending of the game and I understand the concept. Great work! (I'm not sure if it was a mistake but theres is no sound in the game)
I really liked the game and, after reading the comments, I give it a couple more tries to get through the ending and it's a very original approach to the topic.
Wow, the ending was really philosophical. It was really thought provoking - though if you wait on the far left edge of the boat, you can just glitch yourself straight to the ending.
What an incredibly well-done metaphor, congratulations! Too bad the game is quite difficult since you can't recover your health (pretty much the same complaint people gave my game) but the ending was worth it!
MadGnomeGamer: Most likely you have a very old graphics card? Probably one that doesn't support hardware T&L, or shaders, or something. Sorry about that.
I LOVE LUDUM DARE, TOO!
