This is my first LudumDare entry, and the second game I've ever made!
The focus of the game is the elevator.
The idea to create a puzzle platformer focusing on collecting stuff in order to go to the next level. I had to learn the hard way that collision detection was a bit too difficult to code for me at this point, so I turned it into short narrative game.
I had a lot of fun with this Compo and learned a lot, will definitely enter the next one.
Cute! This game really has it's charm. As I am playing it I'm not really sure what to expect next + I like that you change the sounds effects. I think this game can be expanded further with a lot of different gameplay elements, like code breaking/mental puzzles + some room identification so you can look up the cheats online :)
I like this game, it may be game-play lacking but has a nice narrative!

Ha, I feel your pain on collision detection! Not being implement it is a great reason for not doing just regular platformer games and trying do more experimental stuff. Good luck with your next games!
The voices sounded like cleaning glass, that scrubbing sound when it gets a bit too dry and sorta sticks. It would have been nice to something more than enter the exact same room and then leave over and over again. Even if it wasn't platforming, just something more to do.
Extra points for quirkiness. I liked the odd sound effects and art style the most. I wish there were more play mechanics, though : ) Keep that up for your next game!
A very mysterious game. I love the idea of only being able to go down, and the message in the end is just glorious. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, despite the art :P Maybe not the most technically impressive one so far, but story wise it is awesome! My first 5 rank overall.
Given that you went with a story-driven game rather than a platformer, the story could've used more variety and interactivity - but it sounds like you lost a lot of time dealing with collision detection before going this route instead. The idea of being trapped in an elevator that only leads down would be a good premise for a scarier story :) Still, good job making it to the comp deadline! Hope to see you submit again next LD.
Very nice for your second game! I'd suggest playing around with some puzzles or other challenge for your next one, because while I like the story this one sorta plays itself.
Loved the mysterious mood in this one, the ending was a little sudden though.
Good luck on your future endeavors!
