Nice graphical effect... but since your vision only goes so far, I don't see why the actual game-window had to be so much larger than what you could see. Also, at the end of each level (when it would show text) the music would abruptly pause for a second or so... you might want to look into that. Nice job with the mood and everything, anyway! :D
This is quite good. I loved the mood and the audio. The levels were a tad inconsistent - some were far too easy, and others seemed to drag on and on, and on those, dying was really frustrating.
Win8/x64. Got ludum dare logo, then all titles up to prelude, then strange L-shape floats up to the top of the window, and then just gray screen. Nice music though .)
- Another Ruby game! Second one so far. Apparently would work on Linux? Oh well, already on Windows. - No controls in README. Okay, let's see what's in the game. - Arrow keys and spacebar. Right-o. - Oooooh. I like this. Music coming in. This excels. - Hm. The character's face gets cut off if I jump when the camera is stationary. Rendering issue? Seems like a block in the top-left of a corner near the character is clipping somehow, too. - How far out can I go before I drop? Ah, that's nice. Would be very slow-paced if you couldn't walk on whatever was visible. - Standing still. All blocks that are visible are uniform in color. Could've made that drop-off -- e.g., an intensity scale like, say, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 5, 4, 2.5, 1.5, 1. - Music looped. Reminds me of Torchlight 2 music somehow. Except for that The Dig-esque.. how do I describe it? Nevertheless, it is good. - Next level: "Passageway". - Definitely some kind of clipping going on. Will take screenshots. - Dropped down. Thought I died for a second there. - I think I see a baddie. - Missed the baddie's skull. I have died. Back to the start. - That time I totally crushed the baddie's skull. Guess you can't kill him. Moving along.. - The clipping makes it hard to see the baddie until I am far enough down. - If I move the window, the game pushes an entire render update, fixing the clippery. Might be a GPU issue; I've been having trouble with it lately. - I moved the window off-center and now I cannot see a thing. "Clip" appears to be just rendering in a rect in the center of the game window. Not sure what's going on here. Back to center you go. - Next level: "Inside the walls". Triple baddies. - A spike tried to murder me! - Bunch of baddies. - Next level: "Dungeon". Bunch of spikes. - Drat. I got murdered by the baddies beneath. - Uh-oh. A baddie has become stuck in the drop right after the beginning of this level (before the spikes). I cannot continue. He kills me every time I try to drop down. - Wait. I just jumped into the ceiling. It doesn't seem to let me go anywhere, though. Not even back down. Now I'm done. - Back in to screenshot this clipping business. Game does not save. Okay. - When I take a screenshot, the window completely re-renders. I will write this off as my GPU being a jerk. Or Windows, because Windows is a jerk too.
This is great!
