Didn't have much time to complete, most of the game was done on day one.

This isn't something ambitious, something huge and meaningful. It's just a side-scrolling runner game, but I'm happy that I've done something playable for my first LD.

You're playing as one of few characters from game/fairy tale and you're chased by different, bad characters from some other games/fairy tales/movie. That supposed to make this game theme-ralated, you know, characters from different fictions... well... after day one i realized that it wasn't the best idea I've ever had.

Because I used characters from different fictions I didn't want to break compo rule and that's why it's a jam entry.

Controls: Spacebar is jumping and menu is controlled with mouse.

The theme connection is hilarious.

It was a bit easy/repetitive, but it was fun to see the interpretations of the characters in a different graphics-style.

"Evil Japanese Plumber" lol.

Nice references but game play is very flat & repetitive.

The idea of doing mashups was great and fits the theme nicely, but the gameplay is just too simple so it turned boring quite fast.

Gameplay is too simple, but for something done in one day as your first Ludum Dare I'd give it a C++ (lol I made a programmer joke). If you were to expand on this with better graphics, and make each hero/villain have different powers and tactics, it could be rather interesting.
