Platead by ChrisAntem

[raw]
made by ChrisAntem for LD32 (JAM)
(English description from a French guy, please understand)

Platon is a playtipus. He was with his playtipusfriend, Hypatie, when suddenly the Koalol's king, Socrate, kidnapped Hypatie and took her far away, in Australia.
Obviously, Platon will save his beakly princess. Could you use your head (and Platon's one) to carry out this mission ?

Use left and right arrows to move, up arrow to jump, down arrow on wood plateforms to climb down, CTRL to attack and R to restart.

Haha pretty nice idea to throw his own head. I had fun with your game but it started to be too difficult when I throw my head and that the camera was not showing my body anymore.

Fun ideas, and fairly precise platforming. Some punishing jumps, but for the most part a fun ride. Great visuals.

Very unconventional weapon :-D And nice touch that the camera moves with the head. Pretty hard game though :-)

The game locks up after about 220 seconds.

I love the mechanic! Some neat ideas on how to use the head to do stuff/solve puzzles. The actual level design itself though is probably a little rough, it's hard to work out the idea that you can walk on wooden bridges while your head is thrown, and also that the button on the far side of a difficult set of early jumps would allow me to get my head back if it was trapped in the upper area. I think these 'concepts' are strong just the actual distances and spaces could use refinement.

Really clever idea though, cute graphics, seems very promising!
