Well, that was my first game. The first one I ever finished.

To be honnest, it was less difficult than I thought. However, the result is really really bad, so you could expect that I think it was quite easy!

Wasn't really inspire by the theme so the game isn't really innovative and fun to play.

If you want to give it a try, I recommand you to mute the game sound, 'cause I'm not really a musician.
...
You can also turn off the screen, cause I'm not really a artist and the artwork are shit.
...
After all, close the game, I'm not a level designer, so, that pretty messed up.

I mean, even the code is bad, and I should be a developper, so be well prepared if you want to launch it.

If you want to review my code, go ahead, I will be gladly take any remark to improve my skill for the next jam.

For the differents tech :
- Soundtrap.com for the music
- Unity 2020.1.8f1 for the Game
- Visual Strudio 19 for the code
- Photoshop for the graphics

That's not half bad for the first game ever. You got the basics down. Totally agree with you about muting the music, though :)

It's a really good game. I like your graphics and mechanics. Good job.

From how you describe it, it seems like it wouldn't bring as much joy as it did! I think you did a good job here and you should be proud of what you accomplished in 48 hours!! :)

8 bit trap music... interesting :D

samguy26 Apr 2021, 08:47

I actually like the music quite a bit as a horror theme, if there as an enemy trying to get you it might fit better

mudlee26 Apr 2021, 08:57

You have some texture bleeding problem here and there, but it's OK. Had some fun :)

Nice job.
The progression is good to understand the mechanics door opening, wall hugging (or if felt that way)

Definitively too slow paced for me, I was pressing the arrow keys very strongly to try to move faster!

Sometimes the wall hugging is clumsy

Good job so far, maybe think about add some obstacles, that will be cool.

Not a bad entry, i think it would be better if you put somewhere note that you could stick to and jump from wall, spend couple of minutes trying to understand how to escape place that initially seems like a dead end. Also IMO after you find a "key" thing it's better to allow player to interact with door instead of just opening it if you are far away from it

This is actually quite impressive for a first game, so congrats!

Nice game! Brought me some spelunky vibes going on. The music gives a lot of atmosphere

rhoff9528 Apr 2021, 14:55

Cool game. Congrats on finishing your first game!

cavedens28 Apr 2021, 23:20

So I had a bit of problem with the wall climbing being a bit clumsy and there were screen tears throughout the game. That being said, not a bad entry

The art and level design were great! The music wasn't my style. More interaction between the character and other game objects could have made the game excellent.

Kirbloid29 Apr 2021, 18:59

It's still really cool when you do the Ludum Dare and go for adding a soundtrack and such, because I think it still adds a lot to the game. This was pretty ambitious and I enjoyed the pixel art style. Great job on the entry!

Nice game :) I did get stuck, and the jump felt very floaty. But all in all, a good game. Well done :thumbsup:

The music is very distrurbing, controls are pretty good. The lack of light is a problem for me. Overall- nice little game.

OldDog3 May 2021, 10:11

nice mood and grab system , but I thinks you dont have enough time to completed this game,
too much things can make this game better

any way ,nice job :smile:

Neowedge9 May 2021, 11:36

Great game to be the first one :). It feels good, maybe level design could be more dynamic, but good job!

Boon14 May 2021, 07:02

I definitely liked the wall climbing system and animation. Would have liked to have seen some more puzzle mechanics or platforming but overall nice entry. Thanks!

qfeys16 May 2021, 18:47

The movement system is original and good, if a bit clunky. The climbing mechanic is fun, but I would like it if you moved a bit faster.

The level design is a bit weird, as it was hard to find all the 'keys' in the maze, or know where you are or where you have to go. It felt a bit like a procederaly generated cave system gone wrong.

The idea of additional layers of music for different levels is a nice one, if the musiic was better.

Abdul Zakkar16 May 2021, 18:51

The wall jumping mechanic was solid, and the pixel art was nice! Everything worked as I thought it should. I felt that the game should have been brighter and the maze aspect was less enjoyable, but overall nice first game!
