Simple platformer.
Use the up and down keys to move around the menu. Use enter to select
level 3 is slightly broken, still good enough though
bringing difficulty back to games
Made with java 7
Pretty happy with this being my first LD

The platform movement could use some polishing. The cube blocks on walls when falling.

@MageWalkr the res folder is required. It contains all the audio features. If you removed it it will not work and exit. Sorry but I'm not very in depth with audio

Hey, good to see another person that submitted his/her first entry. Good luck with you game. :3

Here's my review: The game is not bad. The physics are quite okay, the jumping does what it job and the platforms are well placed, but I really have a bone to pick with the audio. The first being the necessity of having a res file (this will be fixed once you get more experience). The second problem with the audio is that it seems too loud and a bit too unpleasant, for me personally. You might want to work a bit on the collision detection.

Overall, the game is pleasant and it follows the theme pretty well. 4/5 ;3

I couldn't get it to work. Java throws an exception.

Reminds me of my first games and projects! Keep at it!
On another note... oh my those sound effects hurt my brain >_< lol

Good game. Jumping is a bit choppy (linear rather than quadriatic) but otherwise it's fine. Could smooth out the collisions a bit more. A few collision errors as well. Wish you could continue from a level though because I died and didn't feel like starting over :( BTW, this works with Java 1.6 too!

Welcome to LD! Interesting effect with the water buoyancy.

Good game, but jumping feels weird. Also, when you're on the water, it's too jittery. Lastly, the lava is extremely difficult to get past.

Good game overall.

Decent lil' platformer. Congrats on your first LD entry! I got stuck in the walls several times and apparently you can still jump in the air when falling if you haven't already used your jump. Hopefully you fix those bugs sometime, as well as build off of this game to create bigger and better ones in the future. Good job!

Interesting to see such extensive use of water in a platformer. I think that using gravity-based physics (acceleration instead of constant up/down movement) would benefit the game, and those sound effects are really painful to listen to. :D Nontheless it's a good start.

I don't have Java installed. Sorry :(

The broken physics were funny (walking on the ceiling...) ;)
Not bad but I couldn't pass the underwater lava passage (too hard). The sounds are a bit painful.
