A block falls from the sky and takes on a life of its own.
Explore the world, find secrets, and go skydiving.
Controls:
Movement: Left/Right
Jump: Up
Use item: Down
Written in the ooc programming language, with Vamos, my own game framework.
Cookie to anyone who manages to plant the flower at the end of the map!
[note]
I tested the Linux builds on a couple of machines. You have to build and install SDL 2.0, which should only take 5 minutes. Instructions are included in the download, if you encounter any issues, let me know!
Pretty game with solid implementation. A really cool entry! I think your movement is a bit too twitchy which makes it too difficult, but otherwise I really like this game!
Great intro and music, really hard platforming mechanics with the grappling hook! I couldnt get the orange seed that was way up there. Maybe you could ease the player into the difficulty a little slower.
Haha, it does get quite difficult quite fast, but bear in mind there's more than one way to grow that 2nd sunflower. Maybe you should check for secret passages further back. :)
Thanks for the feedback so far guys, it's nice to know people have enjoyed it!
SuperlevelSebastian: sorry you couldn't get it working, I don't have an XP environment to test it on. You don't have mingw/msys installed by any chance? If you did, you could maybe run it through gdb and see where the error occured.
Nice game, had fun exploring the world. The first little "jump over reds using grappler" was a bit tough for an introduction I thought. I can see how to get the final flower, but the jumps would be too difficult to get it so I'm just settling for no cookies :(
Amazing. Controls lagged very slightly, but you couldn't notice it once you got into things. The death animation was a little too long in opinion, but everything else was perfect! (maybe a little frustrating sometimes :P)
Wow another programming language I have never heard of. This is pretty much a finished product. Ready to ship. 5 stars! It fits the minimalistic theme, but really doesn't need anymore. If I had to name one point of criticism it has to be, that the flickering of the light in the corners can be annoying, but thats only when you're not playing but just watching.
It reminds me of Knytt.
Just out of curiosity: how does ooc compare to Java or As3?
goerp: ooc is a pretty young language compared to AS3 and Java, and has quite a small community behind it. In the last 2 years or so it's become quite usable for OpenGL or SDL-based game development, and it binds very nicely with existing C libraries, especially ones that are written in an object-oriented style already.
It's still rough around the edges, currently I find that its higher level features like closures and generics work very well in isolation, but may break if you try to mix them together (e.g. create a HashMap of Func objects). I'm happy to work around those issues though, I just love that I can use a clean/modern language and have the flexibility of C and C++ at the same time.
Yep, the ending is very minimal, partly because it suits the theme and atmosphere, but also because it was 3AM and I couldn't figure out why my 'end' text wouldn't appear on the screen. xD

VERY well done for 48 hours, in all aspects!
Trying to finish with the extra seed now...

The soundtrack is beautiful.
I've got a white background at the end, is it normal?

I managed to plant the last seed and still have one left over :)
