My first game made using this engine.
I wish I had more time (game was done in 1 day)
so I could make this game longer and more polished.

It's a thirdperson platformer. Discover the parts of unknown white world.
Black represents known, white unknown.

Just a heads up because I had a similar problem with my first UE4 game...chrome seems to peg the zip as malware when downloaded from Dropbox. I had better results when I used Google Drive to share UE4 zips.

Cool execution of your concept for your first UE4 game, and nice music. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get past the fourth stair and it was too easy to fall there which was frustrating. Wish I could have gotten further!

Hi Harsay! Just a heads up: I had some trouble running the game due to missing DLLs. In case anyone else runs into the same, I was able to solve the problem by installing DirectX...

And also this Visual C++ Redistributable (the x86 version).

Does UE4 let you do a build that includes these automatically?

JavadocMD, it doesn't. Thanks for pointing out. I'll add these to download.

"The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Not my area but it looks like you need to include the visual studio redistributables.

Posted my last comment before I refreshed and saw the update with the redistributables. Nicely done, challenging, I also didn't get past that fourth stair!

Interesting game, there wasn't much instructions on where to go, but i think that made it that more interesting. Discovering parts of the unknown world. Good Job : )

Nice art style, but MC really needs to have a white outline or marks near the feet or something. Anything. Too much guesswork on his position considering the tight platforming one has to do.

The two fallthrough black boxes were a bit confusing being so close to the start position, but otherwise once things started clicking it was fun.

Overall great concept, great potential.

It is a really interesting concept, but not having any hint made the game impossible for me, as I couldn't even jump right on the second stair...
