Anyway, The game was going to be Logic-Platformer, where player can move 3 different characters on the map and combine their skills to overcome challanges around the level.
To "play", Press 1,2 or 3 to change character, WASD to walk and E to interact... alt+f4 to quit :)
A lot of systems done. Camera controller, movement, half of HUD. Interaction system, animations...
Unfortunatelly we did not make it to build and set-up at least one whole level. We do not play any sound in the game, also some buttons do not work and we did not made intro. (look at the screens with text ).
So. Conclussion is: too much ideas, too big dreams for this weekend, if you like the idea of the game write a comment, and we will send you complete game when its ready.
TO DO: - entry - HUD - tutorial for the game - more levels (enemies, assets etc.) - sound

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description. (you can already find several games from the jam there)
Glad you managed to make it despite the issues. The characters and graphics are nice and simple. I just couldn't find my way forward despite the doors etc. And I managed to jump out of the level from upper floor on the right side.
I got stuck with the sword guy in the platform with the rope, jumped out of bounds with the hammer guy on the right side of the map and got stuck with the big guy between the movable rock and the tilted platform! lol
I enjoy the art, although a couple of times I noticed some sorting issues, but that was not very bad. The simple mechanics made the game fun to play, but the lack of direction made it a little challenging. I love the idea of three different characters that all do different things. I got stuck in the hole and had to force quit the game to restart and the buttons in the top right didn't seem to work. It was fun, well done.
I would recommend sending a link to a ZIP file to improve easy for people to download. I would consider making it so you could making space bar work as well as up for jumping. Looks neat, not entirely sure what to do.
@adaFish The idea is to find a way to the next level, so the direction isn't so clear. Unfortunatelly we didn't manage to implement any story or tutorial, but there will be an update, so game will be more understandable.
Still a nice entry even with the few things missing! The idea is original and at least it challenges a bit!
One thing that could help, maybe you already thought about that, would be that clicking on the icon of the character would allow to control it, instead of clicking on the character itself. Actually that was the reflex I had first, and moreover at some point I got stucked with one of the character in the hole and I couldn't chose the other one that could do it because it was out of the field of view of the camera.
Oh and also, at a moment the first character died, I was left with the two others and I was controlling them at the same time, maybe that is a thing you would like to look into it. :)
I cannot download your data folder, there is a server error, I tried it twice. I was able to download the exe. Think about creating a zip file and then put a link in here that will directly start the download without redirecting to another page where you have to fiddle around to find the game.
@MewSoul Actually the idea was to clicking 1, 2, 3 buttons on your keyboard to change characters, but we will think about your option :) And thanks for telling about controlling characters after one of them died, death of one character should end the whole game. You know - our characters are working in a team :) We will look into it. Wait for the update! :)
I like the graphics, the gameplay, camera but I do have problem is the game isn't user friendly that I get stuck at the first part because no one is telling me on what to do next and the right controls. And I don't know how to use the buttons of the game either and I don't know if the other player that it may be controlled it.
oh yeah!! awesome job, man! The art is smooth and very clear. The gameplay y correctly executed. The idea is not so original, but it's correctly implemented. Maybe I would increase the deceleration value, in order to stop walking faster. Also I would increase the jumping height, because several times the character barely arrives to the platform border. Anyway, very good work.
