Update 1.09.2016: -Player can no longer dash through walls, houses or tents -Dash is a bit longer
Cool visuals. The ladders in the monolith i think are glitching. They keep sending me back to the first floor and then when I go up that ladder it puts me on the next floor. It's weird. Spikes have like no time to get across without taking damage. I just ran across, knocked myself down to 1 hp and then left. Things are really hard to shoot since they are so small. That techno god thing was pretty awesome.

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)
I played it 3 times, first i lost the bird out of the screen, second it crashed, and third i was walking around after killing some drones for a while. It has problems, but you have a nice base to keep working on. :)
Thats a very cute entry! The graphics are awesome and I like the exploration of the world. the world itself feels really good because of the cutscenes. The music also adds alot to this! The controls feel a little bit strange with dash on the mouse, I would have liked that also on the keyboard. I did not have any problems with the ladders or glitches. Great game!
Graphics are good, physic should be improved(character glitching in wall if you walk in it), also I think ladders would not show until you defeated all bots on a floor. Good entry, keep working on it :)
I liked the art a lot, and I really enjoyed the exploratory aspects of the game, and how it felt sort of like Zelda. PhyHit deetction adn collision was a little wonky, and I would have maybe made the dash a little longer , but ovcerall a really cool game!
Cool game! I really liked the exploratory aspects, and how even though it wasn't that large of a game, it felt that there was lots to do and discover. The hit detection and collision was a bit wonky, and I think the dash should go just a little bit further, but a really cool entry! Oh, and I really liked the art, too. Great animation and character design.
A big world to explore, loads of intense finger cramping action, a cool ending, there's a lot to like here. And then there's the glitches and quirks, but, quite frankly, they just add to the charm of it.
This is still pretty rough, but I see a lot of potential here.
I couldn't figure out how to do much -- it didn't seem like the 'E' key was working, maybe? Or just there are too many things that I would think I should be able to interact with, but can't. Like all the stuff in the bedroom where I woke up to start the game, all the people in the village, etc... Also it seemed there were many doorways that I couldn't enter. Despite feeling unfinished/incomplete, I wanted to play it a lot more.
Really nice graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ZcipQ8HIrLI

Good job!
