Osuldorb by danidre14

[raw]
made by danidre14 for LD33 (JAM)
During scientific research as a Osuldorb, you went off into another galaxy, with your best friend Chudwe, using the high-tech Derodonal device. At your arrival to a planet you are greeted by many different hostile Nielderthands. During the chaos that broke out, you are separated from the Derodonal device, and now have to find it. Unfortunately for you, these Nielderthands are all very poisonous, which results in death on touch, and Chudwe jumped strait into one. He disintegrated in a flash.

There are also other materials out there that can result in death, since on this planet, almost everything is linked.
You now have to find your way to the Derodonal device, and figure out how to get there. There are signs that may or may not be helpful on the way.
Collect Metons to increase your Mation power. You need at least 500 Mations to power up your Derodonal device.

Movement is unknown. Multiple keys can be pressed to do the same thing.
You have to find out what does what and what goes where.

----------------------------------------------------------
So unfortunately for this monster species, they die instantly, as in game over, their life is gone.
At least there is an option to start life afresh.
P.S. - Use Z to shoot.

A nice little platformer, but damn it's hard

pretty good but it does feel like it was made very very quickly as the audio is not the best

The comic at the start is great.

I liked the weird story elements! The contrast between the different world tiles and especially the moving platforms and the background is too low (too much grey!). It would be cool if you wouldn't have too start over completely everytime you die. Cool entry!

Nice and challenging. Not sure if I grasp the story however.

Damn, if this game had a continue or save system I'd be crazy enough to finish it (that says something, 'cause I really don't like platformers). As it stands I'll settle with going through the 1st room.

Thanks for all the thought and opinions guys. If I haven't already, I'll rate all your games, and you should know, you can shoot using the 'Z' button. :P

A nice platformer! Did not realize until reading the comments that I could shoot. I like the music and overall the game is challenging but makes me want to continue playing. Can't believe this was made during submission hour--it's a great start!

No, you've got it wrong, the comic drawing was made during the submission hour. Thanks for playing none-theless. And yep, the being able to shoot was actually supposed to be something you find out from a sign during the game, but some people never make it there. Without shooting, this is more like an avoid impossible game, worth a shot at winning it without shooting though, that'll be a record.

That was surprisingly challenging. I felt a little frustrated when I died on the second level and had to redo all of the game. It felt good when I finally won.

Thanks for playing peterkirk.

I too am frustrated at my deaths, especially with the ladder.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Ha I love the note about making the intro during submission hour. We've all been there!

The platforming was fun once I got the hang of it... would have appreciated a checkpoint system though. Pretty good for 17 hours!

Good platformer. Controls felt a little quick, but solid effort. Good soundtrack.

Pretty solid platformer although it's a bit annoying when you're forced to start from the first level every time you die.

Pretty nice game and nicely done for the 17 hours. I didn't get the Derodonal device at the first time because I hadn't the 500 Mations hehe... but I tried again and then I won :D
Well, I've played more than twice because I died 2 times on lava trying to jump from the ladder hahah xD
Good work!

I repeat the word of Pierrec: A nice little platformer, but damn it's hard
