[GAME MADE IN 48H]

Hey guys, my name is Laurent, I'm currently studying Game Design at Bellecour Ecole in Lyon, France.

With my fellow, Kévin, this 33rd Ludum Dare is our first Game Jam and I hope you will enjoy our game. We thought the game jam was actually 2 days long so the game is quite short, but no doubt that the next time our game will be better and longer:)

Our game is an eccentric platformer in wich you must satisfy the hunger of the monster you play. Please, don't hesitate to let us know your feedback and once again, enjoy !

EDIT:

input :

Q/D - A/D (moove)

Space (jump)

Left Shift (sprint)

Enter (reset)

Esc (quit)

Nice ! Enjoyed it a lot ! The only thing I would have asked is to have an option to restart the game from the level in which the player died, instead of starting from the very first everytime (for a definite amount of time). Overall Good Job !

Awesome game, The difficulty made it really fun and the art style really took it over the top. Great job.

I really liked the art style here, although I found restarting every time I died, combined with the difficulty level, to be a bit frustrating.

I was drawn in by the art style. First thing to bother me even before opening the game: You might want to use something other than megacloud to host your game, like an actual video game portal. Then, the music was absolutely horrendous. The game is still called "test_grayscale" in the task bar and the keys showing the controls in the first screen are Q and D? These aren't even opposite of eachother. I'm sorry, but I don't think this is up to par.

@Madmaw , yes now i realize i should made a checkpoint or life system.

@Pizzamakesgames.

Thanx for your feedback.
Its my first LD and next time i will do better.
Q/D and A/D also works ( azerty and qwerty keyboard )

Nice game with simple controls that worked really well. The chalk aesthetic was a great touch. Only thing I'd suggest is an option for alternate keyboard controls cause Q & D aren't natural for some people. Fun game :)

@ Franklin's Ghost

A/D works also :)

(Q/D its for Azerty keyboard)

Finished after 1 hour, that was nice and veeery hard! I love the gameplay, with an amazing simplicity. For a game made in 48 hours, it's beautiful! :)

I liked the game and the art, although I found it a little frustrating to have to start again every time. I enjoyed what I played

Very nice art :) I was a bit disappointed by the rigid controls and punitive progression though
