Seriously, I absolutely love the concept. Very creative mechanic, although a bit hard to master, but once you do it feels AWESOME. But please, oh PLEASE change the controls. That button layout is so awkward and hard to use that it nearly ruins the entire thing. \r<br\/>I really like the idea, and I hope that you keep working on this and make it into a full game. Great job, congrats!"},{"author_name":"Jhandsy","author_uid":"30895","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:03pm","epoch":1429826280,"text":"Hey thanks for all the kind words! I'm going to change the controls and re-upload it soon. Yeah I definitely could have given it a better difficulty curve. It's very sharp right now."},{"author_name":"MrRoboman","author_uid":"27479","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 11:23pm","epoch":1429831080,"text":"Seems like a good game.

I like changing characters, though!"},{"author_name":"BoxedMeatRevolution","author_uid":"47669","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 12:28am","epoch":1429834980,"text":"This is a great and fun game mechanic! However, you really really REALLY need slick and responsive controls to make it work! Also, I don't really see how this is connected with the theme... maybe should've been entered into the jam. Beside that, this was a great entry!"},{"author_name":"plams","author_uid":"3099","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 11:12am","epoch":1429960020,"text":"Could you explain how to get past even the first room? I figured out to kind-of-double-jump using jump-D-1, but I still could only *almost* reach the ledge above the starting position. It seems like a fun game, I just have no idea how to get anywhere :)"},{"author_name":"Knowledge","author_uid":"34045","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 6:40pm","epoch":1429986900,"text":"Good game, a bit irritating."},{"author_name":"GameQuester","author_uid":"45230","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 8:31am","epoch":1430209560,"text":"Yeah another sword game!! :) Like plams I couldn't get past the first room.

Since controls depends of your form ( swift \/ shield \/ sword ) maybe you shoudl add an ingame instruction bar listing ONLY the controls of your current form. This way people wont get stucj on first screen anymore and they will learn the different moves one by one."}],"images":["ld32\/30895-56641bd87e4f390bd398cb20cccac510.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0By3hSdv_1KplUW5Ba0g4ODNSMUU\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0By3hSdv_1Kplcm5xSEhHVXlqOHc\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"10867","g_author":"30895","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"10901","g_title":"Travelers","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"912","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/30895-shot0-1429491670.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"In Travelers you play as a sentient sword who must use the imprinted souls of travelers to move from place to place.\r\n\r\nEDIT: \r\nI removed the first arrow shooter, making that unrealistically difficult first room more accessible.
