play as greenie as you destroy the evil red plauge and take back the crystals. A and D to move left and right, W and SPACE to jump, LEFT CLICK to shoot, RIGHT CLICK to place blocks, MIDDLE CLICK to remove blocks. Get to the gem at the end of each stage.
OVERALL: I played for about 10 minutes. I never figured out how to get to that boss you mentioned; I gave up and just built myself a little demon-proof fort out of blocks and spam fired on them as they tried to funnel in. I like the audio feedback for things, even if the effects themselves are a bit simple. If you add visual feedback in your future games, I think that will go a long way. In my humble opinion, player feedback is the most important feature to make a game 'pop'. (3 stars).
INNOVATION: I like that this is a platformer that involved you creating your own platforms to jump on. I don't play many platformers day to day, so maybe that is really common in the genre, but I haven't seen it before. (3 stars).
FUN: I had the most fun with the block mechanics. I think that moving platforms yourself and being able to create cover/shelter on the fly was quite fun. It would have been even better if there was more variety, though. (4 stars).
MOOD: I don't really think this game had a 'mood' to speak of. (N/A rating).
Pro: + You have confirmation when you hit something // Not all games in LD do this!! + Solid game play + Decent graphics + Genuinely Fun
Con: - You have to install it // This is ludum dare, i dont want to install stuff. - If you build up high just for fun and you fall, it's reallly annoying
