Down The Rabbit Hole is a simple platformer with the tiles being made up of previous levels. Once you get to the last level you can see the entire game on one screen.
The game was made using Haxeflixel, PyxelEdit, SFXR, and Logic Pro.
This was my first attempt at Ludum Dare and I'm pretty happy with it. It was a whole lot of fun and I can't wait till next time.
Interesting colors and music. Along with an interestingly made theme. The colors actually started hurting my eyes a little. the music did well with the mood though
Nice music. That and the text transitions really added a lot of nice touch to the game. I found the double jumping to be a little finnicky at times, but overall the platforming felt pretty good!
Very nice. The controls can be a bit grating at times (sometimes feels a bit too slow, and double jumping is finicky at best). Music is great. Very novel take on the theme. Very well done.
I had the same problem as karol, couldn't jump high enough :( But I like that the previous levels make the tiles for the next levels. Really cool concept. Good work. Thanks!
The whole thing feels really polished. The controls feel a little awkward on the double jumps sometimes, but the music and the text on the transitions add a lot to it.
Hi there. Liked the level design. Spike collision was a bit off. Found some of the jumps pixel-perfect annoying, lovely look/graphics. Liked the sound too. Good job!
good level design. The tilesets are a bit odd but that makes it original. The movements are a bit too slow and the double jump mechanics is working in a weird way. Sometimes it did work perfectly and other times I struggled to get on a platform a few blocks higher.
Well done, everything is great, specially the Mood, Audio and the idea. Would have played a lot more if the double jump was better! however I got used to it
fun little platformer. I love the way the controls feel, especially the jumping. The play on the theme is really clever as well. Good sound/music, good gameplay. Awesome job!
nifty idea with the levels, although the problem i have with it is the first two levels have a really clean look to them, but as the levels get more complete, your tiles become more complex and less pleasing. i wonder if sticking to similar colors per level would help (so you eventually make it through the spectrum). i dunno. still very clever
Interesting idea with the tiles! Some graphical feedback for the player's interactions (jumping, landing, dying) would've been great. Maybe also a faster move speed for the player. I got stuck in the level where the spikes appeared for the first time, because I couldn't jump high enough to reach the next platform.
As others mentioned music with mellow gameplay creates very interesting atmosphere. I really like graphics style on second screen :D I noticed that on one repetition main player character changed color to pink :) Does something controls it or is it at random ?
Great debut on your entry. This is a good start and great to see your proud of your game. I loved the narrative you put behind this game, and it was tricky the way you had to perform double jumps to reach certain platforms. Good design choice and pacing.
Really like this, but after the first few screens it got a bit too hard for me unfortunately! The transition in scale was interesting too, I'm not sure how much that gets used later but would be interested to see more of that. The art may not be to everyone's taste but it's certainly unique, music is good too.
Good platformer, BUT: - there is no collider on some spikes so they do nothing - cant double jump if I touch anything in mid-air so its very tricky to double jump in some narrow spaces.
Interesting interpretation of the theme ^^ I felt that sometimes the double jump didn't work properly, but it's ok. It's a nice game and congrats for concluding your first LD entry in your first attempt.
Hi, enjoyed your game. :) I loved the idea of the past levels being part of the tileset for the next, but it did make the graphics very noisy. :/ The collision was a little unforgiving, but the game wasn't too long so I didn't mind. The music was very nice, and I like the use of Lewis Carroll. Keep up the good work! :)
Very creative! Loved how existential /poetic? philosophical?/ it felt, thanks to how text and music worked together. A little like Thomas Was Alone on acid /in a good way!/. Great work!
great game for being your first ludum dare! I liked your approach, similar to the one I used, and then how you wrapped it with a story. very well done, keep doing ludum dares!!
Mood was great! I like the tie into Alice and Wonderland! The controls and movement were quite interesting... it had the feel of moving a block around the screen without gravity, but was full on platformer. I just liked the feel of it. Well done!
