Crossing Wet-Dry Land

by barnowl

Created using the prototype OWL programming language (created by me).

Compiler for OWL can be found at "https://github.com/bsurmanski/wlc";.

Use the LD30 tagged version.

May require SDL and SDL_image dynamic libraries to play.

A game about traversing a water soaked volcano. Gravity flips when you go underwater. See how far you can get before dying. Avoid the spikes!

I'm on Linux, and I'm proud of you for only releasing to Linux: that's bold. However, your "Linux" link doesn't begin a download. Can you provide a link to a download?

Sorry, this link should work: https://github.com/bsurmanski/ld30/raw/master/ld30_linux.zip

Also, if you are interested in programming language design, check out the sourcecode. This game was created using a prototype programming language I created; and I would love some feedback there, too.

Note that you will need libSDL and libSDL_image installed to run. Sorry about the absurd limitations.

I second what ZNCatlaw said, releasing only for Linux is cool :)
Game ran great for me.

The concept is really fun and I like the physics except for the horizontal movement which made it hard for accurate platforming.
The game is damn hard, I never managed to get past 139 blocks :P

Thanks for the feedback, MemoryLeek! Shame you couldn't get further that 139, thats just before the more interesting back and forth flipping begins.

I think the problem with the horizontal movement is the lack of any friction on platforms. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
