In middle of tornado right now, so going to have to bail a bit short of what I wanted to. Will post github link to website later but zip of source is linked up! If I live, more details will be posted @ http://benmcnelly.wordpress.com/2014/04/28/ludum-dare-29/

Great graphics. Am I on drugs? Oh.. I am..

I like the graphics. Some of the physics and collision stuff seems a bit off, but overall quite fun

Made me realllly nauseous haha.

Trippy camera, very difficult for platforming xD

leave it to someone doing LD to upload a game in the middle of a tornado. I'm imagining you as some sort of ninja coder, fixing bugs and catching exceptions as a deadly whirl of debris flies around right outside your window, threatening to destroy you at any moment...

Haha memorable visuals and quite fun ! I love the nasty artstyle :D The balancing is a bit too punishing for me though

Felt like an acid trip, pretty cool platformer.

Update your main image to the pretty one.. probably grab more atetntion

A platformer with air control puzzles? Great! I've been rating other graphics a little too highly.. after seeing this. Nice effect - how did you do it?

Thats a pretty sweet MS Paint cookie. Also thanks for messing up my vision for a few minutes with that effect.

Your welcome, and you aren't a bad looking potato yourself ;-)

i like the trippy colors and warped camera,
the controls are smooth and responsive, the collision with the stuff you need to avoid is really hard though.

Quite hard, but fun :) Awaseome graphics!

What a weirdly beautiful game. The most unique looking game in the compo.

I hope you survived the tornado! :O

As others have said, strangely beautiful. Amazing what camera effects can do to change everything.

Nice game. Loved the gfx and the effects :) First time I started the game the controls did not work but after a reload it worked perfectly.

GOT THE COOKIE!!! This is really difficult, but that shouldn't be a bad thing if it wasn't just so unforgiving: Most of the time you don't see what will comes next when you leap of a ledge and if you land on it you spawn all the way back at square 1... The visuals were really interesting! I wonder if cockroaches see the world like that.

This is great! Good game. Need to develop further.
lokijki30 Apr 2014, 17:20
Whooo! I got the MS Paint cookie! Hope you survived the tornado!
cageinabird30 Apr 2014, 21:09
Wow, those are some psychedelic visuals. Is that what happens if I eat the cookie... nom! O.o

Thanks! I am safe and sound, and can't wait for next Ludum Dare (although the bad weather I can do without). In case anyone wants to try it with some sound, I went ahead and posted a link to the "Post Compo Tweaks (web game)" that just adds in some music and a finished second level.

Loved the visual effect, the controls felt good but the level was a bit crowded, I died a bunch
