Hi! This is my second jam submission, Cave Adventure ! (original name yeah)

It's not a complex game, but if found it quite fun and I've made everything planned, so I'm happy ^^

In this game, you play as an young treasure seeker who explore an dangerous cave with an mine cart with two buttons: "slow" and "fast"..

Let any feedback, while it's useful for me it's okay, I'm here to learn ^^

But enough talked about me, thanks for playing, and good luck ! ;p

Sorry, there supposed an control screen when you start the game. I fix it and I reupload the game ^^

Ok, there was an issue with the saves. I fixed it and I reuploaded the game, so it should be fine ^^ (and for the buttons, you should understand now :3)

The controls weren't very intuitive I found. Graphics were nice though. Reminded me of the old Pitfall game :)

This game is really hard haha. But the graphics and design are really good. Good job!

Nice game. Weird controls :P
exhidor15 Dec 2015, 20:24
i like your game !

Yvanorauthor15 Dec 2015, 20:28
Oh man, I just understand why you found the controls so weird; the game is mean for AZERTY keyboard, and your is QWERTY keyboard. Sorry about it, I didn't think about it.

Wow, that's strange. I've tried something, but I don't know if it will solve this issue. :/

Oh, and one other bug; there is only one level before the temple, and there is supposed to be 6 of them ! Now I've fixed it, you can play with a FULL SUPER AWESOME USER EXPERIENCE :3

Really cool game. Simple but addicting.
lurils16 Dec 2015, 17:54
Besides the controls, that you already explained, the only problem I had was... I didn't figure out how to pass the wall obstacle heh
But that may be my own fault, either way pretty fun game.
simon.parzer16 Dec 2015, 18:00
The control were a bit confusing, and a lot of the times my cart went into a weird state where it was shaking and would not react to any button presses (maybe a physics glitch)?
Anyway the game is nice and works for the most part, I also like the low res graphics.

Yvanorauthor16 Dec 2015, 18:08
For the wall obstacle, you have to stand to press the button :3

And the shaking is not a bug, if you don't slow down on the gravels you will lose the control of your cart for a while, so be careful ! ^^

Nice! I like the low res graphics. Don't see that much the link with the theme though.

Aww game stopped loading right near the end of the progress bar! It looks really fun tho sorry I tried :(
Yvanor
Yvanorauthor16 Dec 2015, 20:39
The cart has two buttons, "quick" and "slow", that's the link with the theme :3

And yes, the loading freeze some time near the end, but the game launch after some time.
redmassacre17 Dec 2015, 19:01
nice game, has flow and randomness and flow
but in qwerty there are very hard controls :(
you could duplicate on arrow controls - i believe in AZERTY the cursor is the same)
anyway - good job)

Great game, a little bit too repetitive but I like it ;)
trozen17 Dec 2015, 19:14
Cool game, nice retro graphics. I don't think this really follows the theme too well. The minecart has 2 buttons but overall there are 4 buttons. It also took me a while to realize the button to press was "Z" and not "2". Beyond that it's a nice game.

Wild ride. Challenging, and controls layout is not making things any easier. Cool graphic style and music, with shop to spend your heavily earned money. Could use some more SFX.
JustASHadow18 Dec 2015, 22:59
That control scheme though...
Trasevol_Dog18 Dec 2015, 23:01
Simple yet efficient concept! Fat pixels fit the game well too!
Nicolas Gass18 Dec 2015, 23:01
Did not liked the controls buttons, maybe configurable keys are nice.

i couldn't get into the controls and they were a bit unresponsive so i kept dying.
but i liked the graphics!

Nice! But why controls are so weird?

The concept was really good, but the controls made it almost unplayable for me, they were mapped to Q S D Z, im not sure why these were chosen or if i missed something.
Maybe if you made the controls S to slow, D to accelerate, W to reach up and S to crouch it would be a amazing game.
:)

Ok, I've found out how to make the controls easiers for QWERTY keyboards. Just press ALT and SHIFT together and use these controls:

A: press the "slow" button
D: press the "fast" button
W: grab high items
S: crouch
Escape: pause

That's should work ! ^^

Nice game with cool graphics! Good job!

I really like the gameplay. Keep good work.

Good job! It might help if some of the obstacles were a little clearer -- it took me a while to realize I had to slow down over gravel, and that I would hit some of the "overhead" things. Overall this was fun and cute.

Looks great. Controls were a bit confusing.

This game was very hard but still fun. The challenge made me want to keep playing. The game was great

Nice game: very good graphics, great audio, polished gameplay. Enough complexity to make it challenging, but it's very well balanced: I never felt that you were throwing difficulty at the player just for the sake of it.

Unfortunately, my keyboard configuration meant that using the controls was a pain, making the game a lot more difficult than it would have been otherwise. But I'm not going to hold it against you, since you didn't code with it in mind.

In short, a pretty simple but good game. The ending was short, but still gave a nice sense of closure.
alhvi2 Jan 2016, 23:59
Pressing alt shift does not work for me to change keyboard configuration :S. Maybe an option in settings will be easier.
jigalx3 Jan 2016, 21:25
The buttons you chose for the controls were incredibly strange, otherwise really good!
