Mr. Scroll is a scrolling platformer in which the player wraps across the screen. You use the scrolling mechanic to progress towards the exit.
Controls: W/A/S/D or Arrow keys: Move Up: Climb Down: Open chest Hold Ctrl: Lock scrolling Space: Fire gun
The Linux version has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, but it should probably work on other distros.
This is my entry for the Ludum Dare 31 Jam, written entirely in Rust. In addition, I used the Tiled map editor and PyxelEdit for tilesets.
All audio is synthesized in-game, and resembles NES-style audio (there are 4 channels after all: 2 pulses, 1 triangle, and 1 noise).
EDIT (Dec 9): There are some "imperfections" I want to clarify: 1. Half of the chests have nothing in them. I ran out of time. :) 2. Infinite coins at the end. This is indeed the end of the game. I ran out of time. :) 3. The scrolling mechanism is pretty much pointless in the second half. I, well, you know.
Screen wrap up, screen wrap up! Good game but yeah, all points I was complaining about were pointed out by you in the descroption ;) But I love that drill! Wrrrr :D
I really liked this entry, it has a great idea and a very nice execution. I just think it's a little too short. I like the graphics and the controls are just fine. Good job!
Nice! I was a bit confused initially, didn't know what to do with what turned out to be a drill(?), but after a few minutes of aimlessly running left and right I realized one of the ground tiles was looking suspicously different and felt a little stupid.. :) Anyway, it is very enjoyable. I'm still not sure about the screen locking thing, it's strange because it basically means teleporting to the exact same spot and I don't see how it has any effect on anything really, except the somewhat random fact that blue chests vanish when they get out of view/change sides. Anyway, it all added up nicely and turned out to be one of the better games so far, so good work!
I really like your take on the theme, and it would have been nice to have more puzzles take advantage of that but it seems you, well, you know. What you have is a really good start, the controls are good, the movement feels good, the concept is good, it just needs a bit more content and polish.

I got as far as the coins. Not sure if that's the end or if I just didn't figure out what I needed to do.
