Golem -- A grumpy rock golem disturbed by the noises from the humans living at the base of its mountain decides to charge down to restore peace & quiet. However, he must get through the ever treacherous and changing mountain landscape without breaking to pieces.
[Sounds] Boulder Crashing -- Slammed two boxes of ramen noodles together Boulder Rolling -- Rolled a can of vienna sausages across my table
[Background] This is the first game that I've written that wasn't a classic board game, but it was a blast creating it. I had several issues that absorbed a good portion of my time so I didn't get to add the polish I would have liked to the audio, visuals and some of the gameplay physics.
@tigerrenko -- whoops, thank you for letting me know! I used a url shortener and they appear to have disabled the links. I've updated them to just be the direct links. You should be able to access them now. =)
First off, congratulations on finishing your first Ludum Dare! This has the potential to be a serviceable endless runner game given a bit more time, so now that you've had the practice your next LD will be even better I'm sure :)
I'm not sure the mechanics match the rest of the game - you're meant to be a big tough stone golem, but you break apart instantly as soon as you graze an obstacle. Having said that, I liked the sound effects and went back to listen to them again when I found out what the sources were.
Fun little endless run, a little more liberal hitboxes would be nice. I managed to get a victory after a number of failed attempts so that was satisfying.
Cool idea, it could be nice especially on mobile I think. Game over was a bit radical, and sometimes i think collisions were not really fine, maybe with more precise collision masks (it feels like a square bigger than sprite) and some freeze (not to feel the game cheats with this) before the game over screen could make it more enjoyable and less frustrating :) i only managed to win when the level generated some clear way right until the end ahaha...

The rock's face made me chuckle though ^_^
But a simple and cool entertaining mechanic for a first entry.

Keep up the good work!
