That´s my game for #31 Ludum Dare, my first game EVER!!!

Special thanks to Kraln for upload the game.

-CONTROLS-

Arrows or WASD to move, R to restart, and mouse for the slider in the television.

-WHAT THE STATIC/SLIDER DO?-

When you get the "???" item in the game the static will show hiden plataforms.

-ABOUT THE SOUNDS-

The game have just the sound of the television static (use the slider in the right) and in the end ( I don´t want give spoilers). ^-^

-THOUBLE WITH THE DIFFICULTY?-

Some peoples are having trouble with the difficulty, so if you are having any trouble with that, watch the full gameplay video of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZg7kUJ99Wo&feature=youtu.be


-IMPORTANT!-

There is a chance of the end of the game get buged, if you think this has happened see the true ending in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZg7kUJ99Wo&feature=youtu.be

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE POSITIVE COMMENTS, SERIOUSLY THANK YOU!!!

Also fixed some unicode file naming issues.

Once I fixed the loading issues, a fun little platformer with a good difficulty ramping.

Nice job. Needs a little bit of guidance.

I had fun, but I just could not get past the part after the lasers. I would assume that you need to double jump, but that doesn't work if you're already in the air. So I had to give up there. Also, I do like the little noise controller to the right.

Hard like a vvvvv or a super meat boy. Good Job ! Does it have sound ?
rzfmzn9 Dec 2014, 21:26

I like the graphics and the gameplay is great, good job :)

Really fun! It's very hard, though. I almost quit a few times, mainly at the first pair of lasers. Love how you made it fit the theme using the TV, and how the static slider was actually interactive.

Nice game. The ending was a bit creepy, but I like that

@SushiDestroy just have the sound of the television static (use the slider in the right) and in the end.

Nifty Idea, curious as to the thought behind the volume/static slider and it limiting visibility? I thought it was a great idea that you are kind of trading off one sense for another, but since there wasn't other sound effects it didn't really matter too much... just curious as to what you were going for

Good job , I didn't do so well though LOL kept dying on the moving platforms

This game is very challenging and fun. I enjoy the retro view with the TV. The controls are fair. The problem is, I cannot hear any audio in the game. But overall, a good and fun game. Challenging with that classic feeling of victory after getting past the lasers.

Some of those leaps of faith are really tricky! I have to give up for now. More check points would be nice :)
Sharky10 Dec 2014, 00:48
Great baseline for a good platformer. I'd be interested to see the game with better graphic's, enemy, a lil easier platforming(I know it had to be hard in this one because it's your only enemy, just saying though)

Really fun original and difficult
i reconize the lovely smothy movement of the construct 2 tile plugin. XD

Seriously good job.

Nice platformer. It only needs more checkpoints and few jumps are to tricky.

reminds me of our game :D you even have lasers xD cool game ;)
Asaratha11 Dec 2014, 18:23
Fun game, but double jump should work in the air. Very frustrating without it. The lasers have little to no build up so its very hard to dodge.

@egos I am sorry, I am really "noob" in making games, I don't know much what's what you talking about. ;-;

@Asaratha I really think that is how a double jump works, just one jump in the air. Two jumps in the air is like a triple jump. But, if you can´t make any jump in the air, is because you already jump and not have seen.

And I am sorry, I did not realize the game was so difficult while was making and testing.

Some good level design there that actually required timing and precision. Not quite sure if the ending is supposed to mean something. If so; I didn't get it. Overall fun experience though.
Arkrothe11 Dec 2014, 20:52
A great and polished platformer!!! Would love to see it with more features and content. The difficulty was just right, not too frustrating and not too easy.
Chaoseed12 Dec 2014, 01:30
Well...this was pretty well done, and I like the "television screen" idea...It's so difficult, though! I mean, at one point you have to: 1) fall down and to the side and double-jump just at the right moment to get up onto a ledge; 2) leap up through a laser onto a ledge in a very short window of time while not going high enough to hit the other laser; 3) leap up again through a short window of time; 4) fall down to the side far enough to get onto a ledge but not too far as to miss it within that same short window of time, 5) ... probably some other stuff that I didn't see because I got tired of trying, all WITHOUT a checkpoint in the middle. It got pretty tedious...

But I mean, you made a platformer engine in 72 hours, so that's something. ;)
psychonull12 Dec 2014, 01:46
Good game. A bit hard for me :(

guimmauthor12 Dec 2014, 01:53
@Chaoseed I used construct 2! I don´t have any programing knowledge. And yes, maybe I have fail a little in the difficulty, but some people don't think the same way! So I don't know.

But that's my first game!
And I just have 17, so :/

I like the twist. I think there may be an issue with the collisions, it feels like I'm colliding too early.
Tangible Games23 Dec 2014, 19:33
Wow. Just wow. It may be the best game of the Jam. Well, from what I have seen so far, it IS the best game of the Jam.

Platformer. Difficul. Original. Amazing! Final is also great.
I suggest everyone to play it and complete it, watching video is so not enough!
