My game has some miner issues with collision detection, i will try to be better next time.
It's a simple 2D-side scrolling lybrinth. Even if you often end up stuck, don't fret. There is a portal out of that hell hole. Even if it will take forever to find it.
Sorry for the Try again holes.. Uploaded a map for those who want to avoid those.
Regarding Mac Os X problems: Just tested with latest OsX + latest Java version, running smoothly.
Game was pretty smooth, jumping mechanics were quite annoying (jumping+right = getting stuck in next tile). The gameplay was very annoying when getting stuck at any wrong turn.
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, i probably should have taken another approach for level design, and my collision detection is abmyssal, maybe i will improve it by adding a phys2d engine in the aftermath!
Can't seem to get the mac one running. Did you export as a runnable jar? "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/xatulu/LudumDare/LudumDare : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"
Yes, but i will try again later today on my mac, haven't been able to test it on Linux and Mac Os X as of now, though that errors seems like your Java version is older then the one required.
The effort in visuals and audio is definitely appreciated. I also had some fun with it, but yes, the collision detection issues and the trial and error gameplay lead to diminishing the result. I feel if you tackled this again, maybe added some mechanic to the gameplay to spice it up, and of course work a bit on design and collisions, this could be a fun time. Good job on your first self-made game effort, though!
Nice graphics and I love the music, but the jumping needed work. Maybe instead of needing to push the jump key, you could auto-jump if jump is held down?
Nice little platformer, you can't jump if you have a block just in front of you. Even if the theme was minimalist, adding some bonus to collect like coins would have made the game better imho.
It'd be nice if it had a button for restarting, instead of just saying it on the wall, and the jump physics felt a bit like you only set a constant velocity up and then down, rather than using acceleration?
But those are minor qualms, overall it's a cool game, really fits the theme. Nice one.
I found that the graphics and music were pretty nice, but as others have previously said, dead ends and difficulty jumping when too close to a block killed the mood. By the way, that is a nice potato.
Nice graphics and huge work on level design. Too bad controls are so awful. Sometimes you can't jump even if there isn't any obstacle over your head. Whatever it's a great job :)
Hit collision is terrible. Running into a wall and jumping flat out stops your vertical movement dead and it shouldn't, it feels pretty unnatural that way. However there's a lot of content in this and the gameplay was otherwise pretty damn nice.

Overall it's solid, I liked the music.

Nice game, congratz!
Love the music.
@Tonic: Will do, currently rewriting it so it doesn't use Slick (see my Journal)
Thanks for the input guys!
Nice graphics.
Did run good on Mac 10.7.5
But those are minor qualms, overall it's a cool game, really fits the theme. Nice one.
And yeah, thats what i did, i didn't have more time for proper physics, will be in the game in a later stage! Thanks for the input!
Good job though. The graphics are nice!
