Game made with: Stencyl 3.1 Graphics: Inkscape, Paint, Infinite Painter Sound: Sfxr
Note about Source Code: This is a zip file, containing a game, exported from Stencyl. It can be opened as common archive. To open with Stencyl, change an extention to ".stencyl".
Game: Arrows to move, Z and X to shoot. It is important, what wearpon to use in what case.
=====More detailed instructions==== (similar instructions are provided in-game, but there can be some typos).
There are two types of levels - "Destroy connection" and "Restore connection". On "Destroy connection" level you need to kill all spirits (they can be killed with Enegry gun (Z). and destroy portal (also with Energy). On "Restore connection" level you need to gather all parts of portal and then bring them to its base.
There are two types of wearpons: Z-gun kills spirits and paralyzes people, X-gun does no harm to spirits and kills people.
The controls can be not very polished, but the game definitely can be finished. It has 4 levels, and the ending is a bit different, if you finish it without killing intelligent beings.

Thanks to all people who play, rate and give comments! This is my first LudumDare, and your feedback is very valuable for me.
A lot of game for a 48 hours compo - level design is good, and the change in graphical theme is nice. The controls weren't brilliant though, I could get around the levels just fine, but the deceleration on landing felt a bit too severe and the "air time" felt a little too long.
"X-gun kills people and does not harm people" of course -.- I mean no harm, only want to kill you :) What use is the x-gun anyway, you only need the paralazer, do you?
Its not really fun because of the loose controls, instant right and left and moving a little bit faster would probably feel much better. If you dont know how to draw good tiles/characters, try to either draw them very lowrez (like 4x4 or 8x8) or just use a solid colors, that would look much better.
Nice game, I like the art and the levels were interesting. It glitched on me where it was showing the people I stunned lying on the ground but I was still be shot by them. I enjoyed the game, nicely done.
the movement was kinda strange, and i only used the blue gun. btw, don't use x & z for shooting keys, because on german keyboards, Y is next to X instead of Z
Nice take on the theme, though the controls are difficult to work with. I never saw reason to use the lethal gun - maybe if you put in some situations where it would be a lot harder to get through by just stunning natives, or gave the player less life so you can't afford to be hit by someone waking up unexpectedly.
Controls were a bit clunky and the game was a quite slow, but at least it was fun to play, had enough levels and variety so that made it refreshing and interesting to get to the next level. I liked the number of enemies and the different backgrounds very much. Well done!
The controls are wonky; I don't think the player's horizontal momentum should be reset upon landing after a jump or fall, and the horizontal acceleration was too slow for my liking. It was still easy to adapt to the controls, and I managed to beat the game cleanly. Some of the colors you chose for the foreground/background have too little contrast, making the platforms too hard to see. The premise of this game is rather interesting, and I like the sprites. The level design is good, and I enjoyed the game.

Movement feels very sluggish.
Graphics could be better, but the colors are nice.
