The hero was going to Earth to participate to this LD, and during the travel, he falls in a black hole and finds himself on a strange planet.

What's this tiny world full of pixels ?

The goal is to find all the pieces from your ship in order to rebuild it. And of course join the Ludum Dare before it ends.

Simpel and clean. great story. Really cool to find a new ability etc :D

Okay game, but nothing special... I couldn't finish it however, as I could find no way to get the last bits of the ship in the clouds!

Neato.
Small bug though. After you get the ability to kill the enemies, going back and killing the very first one, walking though his space still triggers the 'ouch' message.
And it's probably just me but I couldn't get the last few pieces high above the gound above the first enemies :(

The game's fun, but a little bit slow. The explosion effect is very nice.

Lots of fun! Wish there was some sound. Good job!

Nicely done. Good humor and level design. I played this longer than I thought I would because of the character progression and little changes that were happening.

Liked it, pretty nice visual style, though need a bit more work with colours in my opinion. Funny intro. Some jumps were a bit hard to perform.
I was not was not been able to got few pieces of ship up above the trees, guess I didn't find some power-up?

nice little platformer, though I couldn't figure out how to get the ship bits in the tree tops, a missed powerup maybe ? Nice monolog as well.

Good idea, simple and cool gameplay (except the character is very slow, that quickly becomes annoying imo). Too bad there is no sound at all. Other than that, I wasn't able to collect all the pieces (I must have missed the drink that would give me flying ability...?), but I'm not supposed to take into account my failing at the game, am I? :)

The monologue is what makes this game interesting.

Nice one, and +1 for using NME

Was really fun; nice incorporation of the time limit into the ending. One of my favorites so far.

I like the graphics and the minimalistic gameplay. Could not make the final jump up the trees to get the coins in the cloud.

I love the humor in the game. The tree jump was a bit tough but I managed on the third attempt around. Only thing missing is sound.
Diventurer24 Apr 2012, 19:06
Fun game!
I had problems finishing it though, as the last parts were unreachable D:
I assume you were stressed and forgot to add the last power-up. However, it was very enjoyable :)

nice lil game. I liked the level design and the taunts :) Some music would have made it better.

I like it and it encourages to go on and on in spite of I think that the player movement is bit slow.
A great thing is to find and enable new habilities and the graphics are simple but contributes to give a great look and feel.
Congratulations for a good work and to make the most of 48 hours!
Cheers!

Really simple but great fun. One of my favourites despite not being able to finish it. How do you get those last bits in the sky?!?
john_conder924 Apr 2012, 22:32
THAT TREE JUMP!!!!! Argh. I found it was much faster to just restart the game over and over until I made it, yeesh man! Other than, everything was great! I really enjoyed the way the story was delivered :D

Thanks for all your feedback. Sorry about the tree jump, maybe I should have added the double jump...
rynti26 Apr 2012, 11:46
Awesome game, length was short but in that time I had a lot of time - definitely better than a long and boring game ;) Good work^^

Nice look to it and fun gameplay. Couldn't get the tree jump right so I didn't see the ending. :(

graphics were simple and it had classic platformer fun, but you move really slow, and there is a part that when you fall off you have to walk across the whole map again.

Loved the character that arose as a result of the story snippets. The colours are good and go well together. I found the movement of the player sluggish - I'd recommend doubling the speed and see how it feels... The powerups were nicely implemented but some sounds would have really added to the experience. Overall, a good entry

Pretty cool, but when you miss the jump in the trees, you have to circle around the whole world... that's is WAY too harsh of a consequence.
derosa29 Apr 2012, 23:02
Clean and polished, maybe the character is a little slow, but overall I like it.

I failed with the tree jump, having a "you can't go back" level design just after such a hard jump ir really sadistic ! It really killed the fun for me :(
Another drawback is the lack of innovative concept, it's a very classic plateformer. Also, I don't really "feel" the tiny part of the world : it looks like a normal world in pixels to me.
Finally, I didn't like as well is the slow movement speed (implying a slow game rhythm).
That's all I can find that will (I hope!) improve your next entries =)
The goods points : the story (I liked texts all along the game), humor, the atmosphere.
Thanks for the game !

I enjoyed it and beat it on my first play through. I don't understand why some people had trouble reaching the last bits, yeah the jump was sort of tough, but not impossible. Strange that the world wrapped around, but also quite cool. I enjoyed the minimalistic style of the graphics. Good job!

Simple, but sometimes difficult game.
davidpeter12 May 2012, 18:01
The pieces high above the ground was so annoying to get because I kept mistiming the jump and the movement speed was slow.

Loved the game otherwise though, so simple and clean!

I'm no big fan of the pixel perfect jumps but otherwise it is a complete and nice little entry. Well done!
Gremlin12 May 2012, 18:12
The character slides forwards a bit after the jump finishes, which makes some jumps a little difficult. Also, the main character moves a bit slowly, especially for all the walking parts.

Also, that last jump is nasty.
