The Cavern Of Madness

When my dogs heard that "wheeeeeeee" sound the character makes they all ran into the room! Haha. Great job on submitting by the way. This was brutally difficult after level 3, I'm not 100% sure you can do this without taking damage, but I'm not the best platformer player! I love that you had a tutorial option at the start - very very nice to offer that. Great work!

I liked your game. Simple but solid controls. Nice enemy interactions.

We both know that 48 hours isn't enough time :cry: but you did a great job.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. Spider got me.. Loved it! :smile:

Madness, uiwwwwiii funny droid noise*

cool entry

Nice to have a skippable tutorial

Pretty basic, but the levels are well done and thought out. Audio is super annoying, though.

The sound when you fall down to the next level had me laughing out loud. Love it! But I did think the platforming felt a little clunky, and I didn't like some of the levels. In particular, I don't like the levels where you have to react as soon as the level loads or you'll die. It doesn't give me a chance to figure out what's going on and feels unnecessarily punishing. Apart from that, the graphics were pretty nice, decent audio and a pretty fun game. Great job!

I love the WHEEEEEE! Sound effect! it was very funny and gave me a good chuckle. I like the mechanics, and enemies. Perhaps a bit more polish could do. Overall, very nice game!

wiiiiiiiiii Nice... Graphics are on par as well as humor and mood. Job well done

In a moment before death...

Good luck in compo!

Cool game! The weeee at the end of each level is fun! Ghosts are the biggest jerks! Thanks for the game! - ET

Very nice game! I ended up dying at the first spider level a lot, I couldn't figure out how to cross the spiders while not being hit by the projectile. Also, the, "WeeeEEEE" cracked me up every time.

10 wheeeeeeee of 10

That WEEEEE drove me insane, but i enjoyed the song. The controls weren't bad and everything felt fine. Dropping into levels blind and having to react was a bit challenging.

you got me at the first weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I guess that is a hit or miss depends on individual

that wheeeeee sound hits different

fun little game, pretty hard too

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Had to turn down my volume hard :D. But a good game

The first Weeeee made me jump! Unexpected but give a nice sense of completion. I would recommend different Wee sounds or maybe a sound for how well you did the level: woooo, wow, oooohhh. To give it some variety.
Nice platformer.

Good game

Game got pretty hard suddenly, would be nice for some i-frames after getting hit. I liked that I could wall jump though.

Cute game with solid controls. Wish that some of the sounds were a bit lower, but overall had fun. Good job.

Nice work! The game is very well put-together (looks great, plays well), but some of the level design felt a little cheap. There seemed to be lots of places where getting hit was inevitable. The game structure was good, I just think the level design needed another pass. Great job on the theme too! Nicely done.

It's amazing how much game there is here. It has mechanics, different characters and functional controls. I got to the final screen and overall it was a fun grind.

Some things:

* Some time after the spider appear, there is an object that looks like a grey line and this can damage you but it is so fast that it is really hard to dodge it.
* Sometimes you would lose 2 hitpoints for one hit. In reality you are hitting the object twice, but it is happening so quickly that it feels like you are losing 2 points. Some time of invulnerability after a hit would help here.
* It's really hard to avoid the canon in the second? level (The one with the canon that shoots right just above a row with a canon that shoots left.)

I would say the main thing this game lacks is something that would make it stand out as a platformer. Right now it is jut that, a platformer. And it is very functional at it, but having a mechanic that would make it stand out would be a big help because otherwise it is a very well-polished game for 48 hours.

@vexorian Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me this much level of detail. I agree with you on all counts and have made note. I will definitely keep this in mind for the future. Thank you again.

Funny game, good music and graphicis, but PLEASE change that effect when the character falls, wiiiiiiiii. omg very annoying hahahah congrats

Nicely done, I would recommend looking into Coyote Time to give the player some more time in the air to jump so you don't mess up jumps the second you walk off a platform. But overall a good platformer, nice work :)

Thanks for your feedback @gamesbysaul and @felo07.

The game is pretty good, especially when you take into consideration it's a Compo entry. However I do have a few criticism. For one the text appears blurry in the Web and Desktop build of the game. Secondly, I'm pretty sure you just ripped that font from Minecraft or downloaded a Minecraft font from the internet (which breaks the rules of the Compo). Finally my last gripe is that sound effect as the character falls out of each level, it's just not the best choice and can get annoying. Apart from these things though it isn't too bad, good job.

@toby1645 Ludum Dare Compo says you can use pre-made fonts that you can legally use. Also, that font is from Dafont.com. Please check your facts straight next time.
