I really wanted to play this game but the installer didn't work D:

Props for using gamemaker. I gave you a really good sympathy rating because this game looks so cool. :D:D:D

The jerky graphics, creepy audio and fleeing creatures make me really feel like an evil monster -- this is definitely the most monsterous game I've played so far!

I didn't realise I could double-jump straight away, which made it very hard -- might be worth adding this to the instructions.

(Also as a practical tip, it'd be nicer if you didn't have to install the game -- it'd be easier if the .exe and the resources were just all downloaded in a zip file.)

I liked the flying animation and the double jump and its satisfying when you kill them. Not obious you are dieing when you hit something but the music is well done, moody and slightly disturbing in a good way haha.

Excellent game. Loved how eating creatures restored your health, it got really intense in later levels because of that mechanic. Graphics, music, everything set a fitting atmosphere.

I also didn't realize about double jumping at first.

LOVED the art and animations. I could see this being a really fun platformer with some more polish. The level design was a little confusing, but eating enemies felt great when I could actually get to them.

There was a lot to digest at the beginning since there's so much thrown at the player. With some better pacing this would be really great.

Love the graphics. I included it in part 7 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) youtu.be/Ly6pR3C_dVc

Great art! If you fall down though you get stuck and cant win. Also the red bird can fly through platforms, dont know if that is intentional. Maybe add clearer paths through the levels
Nekauthor27 Aug 2015, 02:27
Yes the game has a lot of problems especially with level design,the bird is supposed to pass trhough horizontal platforms btw,i will make a post ld version soon and i'll fix most of the problems.thanks everyone for the feedback.
Nekauthor27 Aug 2015, 02:28
oh and you dont get stuck perhaps you didnt realize you can double jump,i forgot to add it to the instructions.

Very interesting art style
guoboism28 Aug 2015, 22:38
The music is nice! The graphics is styled!
Please provide zip file rather than install file, for a jam game.

I hav a serious complaint, which is the hitboxes of the spikes. They seem to be block-shaped, and don't represent the actual spikes' sizes.
Other than that, I thought the music was very, very good. I had to stop for a few minutes when I was done with the game to listen to the music.

GameMaker is awesome right? Also, cool game! really like the art style, definitely fits the monstrous theme. Jumping and killing both feel really good too
dancingmad2 Sep 2015, 11:37
Really good and hard game! You should write in he description above that you can double jump -_-
ChrisFagan2 Sep 2015, 11:44
I really liked the style!

I don't think it's a good idea to pack your game into an installer at LD. The graphics were nice, but I had to read the comments to realize I can double-jump.

It's pretty dark, the music is really well done, the graphical style choice is nice but it feels like a lot of the sprites were rushed.
I'd say for improvement, a graphical touch-up, some smarter level design (rather than just running around and eating everything while avoiding spikes, make it so you hasve to think to get around them) and more interesting AI (as opposed to just running away when you're close and running towards you if you look the other way) could be good.
