After we finished our first game, we decided to join the Ludum Dare to test ourselves as a team. Here we leave our review about this weekend.
Pepe, developer. (@mrwizardpepe):
"If this works, I'll coming in your face, Arturo"
"My main goal was to finish the game in such a limited time with my team mates. Also, seventy-two hours without masturbation were a handicap when it comes to developing a game with intact mental faculties, hahaha."
Arturo, developer. (@Arthurullo):
"Leave me alone, I'm fixing bugs!"
"My aim at join this LD was to prove our skills at working as a team. But the time I enjoyed the most was spying my team mates at their sleeps."
Jesus, designer. (@jessxxi):
"I'm going to design some backgrounds... just let me get high"
"I think the experience has been positive because of the next the reasons: 1. We ate very well and healthy. 2. We didn't kill each other. 3. We finish the game."
Pedro, designer. (@pedro_donate):
"Don't touch my... models!"
"To me, finish the game wasn't the main goal. The main goal was to know how many days can a man survive eating Twix, chocolate cookies, and Kinder Delice. I'm really happy with the game, and, of course, with my dear team mates."
"Protoport" is a game where you'll try to beat over sixty levels that shows up aleatory with only one power up: Teleport.
The music is great! (Not that the rest of the game isn't, but the music stood out). The mechanic is also very cool, but I found it hard to get used to - I kept teleporting just into an obstacle
Visuals look quite polished and I love the teleportation mechanic. Game was a little difficult for me though, and I'm usually good at this sort of thing!
OMG I thinks it's awesome to make things in 3d. I can't work in 3d. Only Vectors as you see in our game. Yours is realy fun and I am a big teleport fan :) So you have my Stars :D

Wow... that's hard. Especially these thumpers keep killing me >:[ Cool game!
Similar to portal in the concept. I really enjoyed the randomization of the levels, however some sort of way to track your achievement would be nice, like a score.
That was a cool concept with the teleporting. Graphics and sound are good as well. The levels look to be random. Sometimes I had the feeling that it was impossible to do. Or maybe I'm not good enough :)
Really cool idea guys. The level random generation is a really cool feature, and I think it's fun you gave the option whether to retain your momentum or not.
In regards to the "Fishmaster" section, was that a reference to the old Wishmaster Misheard Lyrics video from Kewen in '06?
Os aplaudo la idea, pero os habéis colado tela con la dificultad, pero eso no es necesariamente malo. Me ha gustado bastante, el dummie muy gracioso, la canción la hubiera preferido en loop en lugar de que empezara cada vez y el 1,2,5 oops 3, lo habría puesto más corto. Pero vamos, un gran trabajo!
hard as hell, but fun. like @scoobyben i also kept teleporting into obstacles. maybe less randomness to the obstacles, and more easy ones in the beginning?
and btw, i fixed the bug in my game, so there shouldn't be any problem with it now. thanks for playing it!
Excellent presentation and concept. Music is particulary good. Took me a while to work out the teleportation controls but when I got it the hang of it was fun (but tricky). Good job!
Pretty nice, but I found it hard to get past many things -- some obstacles take up half the screen, and some like the lasers you need to warp past, but the thing you shoot moves slowly, and because you are teleporting half a screen forward, you are introduced to new dangers instantly which, now being close to you, are very hard to overcome. Otherwise you have a fairly polished piece of work here. Also, I loved the little guy's running animation.
Liked the concept, could certainly do with seeing more of that - it's a lovely twist on the endless runner! Controls could do with some refinement. I'd really prefer to have the game instantly reset near a challenge instead of having to wait a few seconds as we travel to the first crusher. More! (Oh, and nice work on the sound and presentation. The text effect is a nice touch...!)
I like the idea and the execution is good but I am very bad a this game and can't get far :(. I suspect that it's because it needs a lot of anticipation and the traps change each time (usually it's a good thing, but here it's evil)
Great concept, I'm not sure if the game's really hard or I just suck (most likely the latter), but it's really difficult! It's awesome fun, and I laughed at the intro "1,2,5! Three sir! 3!" XD
"El pela chorras", "Born to be guay"... No creo que muchos pillen esas chorradillas para votaros más en humor, pero ahí tenéis 5/5 por mi parte XD
I really like the concept but the implementation is a little clunky. Teleporting does not respond as one would expect, and I wish time between death and restart was a little shorter. The learning curve is too steep and it should be smoothen out to get confident with the control, I really enjoyed the music and the general mood of the game!
Strega: Like the teleport mechanic and randomly generated stages. Some of the traps were extremely difficult to get past, making the game a bit frustrating. Some tuning and polish could go a long way if you guys take this game further!

Cool game!
It's fun though, nice job)

We'll try to answer some comments as soon as we have time!
Thanks! Our musician is very glad with your comments :D
Muchas gracias Nazarí!
Al principio iba más rápido, pero no pasaba de dos niveles, jajaja
Thanks AtomicVikings ^^
Well, you can solve it playing more time =P
Our idea was to include 3 levels of difficulty, but time was running out D:
I tell you the same I tell to @KumoKairo , hahahaha
Let the video show itself =P
We are very pleased you get the easter egg, there are a lot, try to find them :D
I'm not sure I get how is this game related to the theme... but what the hell it's so fun :P
I love it
The game was quite hard for me. Maybe it would be easier if the red dot flew faster.
