Universe Travellers by MrSylar59

[raw]
made by MrSylar59 for LD30 (JAM)
It's my first game made for a Game Jam, It's a die & retry game where you need to switch between two different worlds wich are connected together.

-Controls-

W A S D -> Move
Keypad 1 & 2 -> Switch between worlds

To win : Beat the 7 levels and if you die, you retry from start.

-Tools I used-

I made the game with Game Maker:Studio, audacity for the sounds, Paint.net for the textures and animations and the music is made by me with a synthesizer

-Edit-
Game fixed the 25/08/2014 at 9:55
Game fixed the 25/08/2014 at 22:30

-Fix 1-

+Control issue fixed
+Digit 1 & 2 can switch worlds too for people who don't have keypad

-Fix 2-
+Level 2 is playable for people who didn't have the levers

Liked that fact that the music transitioned from world to world.

Was satisfying to finish but did notice the keyboard input bugs as well, at times it felt unresponsive.

Also the music from the two worlds at time seemed to be playing in the wrong world. Liked the concept though and liked that it felt like a finished game. Nice job on a first game jam.

Nice game. Cool Graphics. But had a lot of trouble with the controls.

The player locks up when i try to press more than one button at a time, which makes avoiding the enemies quite difficult, and i also found i would often get stuck on the switches, so maybe consider next time making interacterbles non-solid. Other than these flaws and the fact that death restarts the game not the level, this is a nice little game, the music is nice and the concept is cool!

The controls are frustrating because it seems like if you let go of a key, movement will stop, so you will frequently abruptly come to a stop.

Cute rat thingy protagonist!

I cant pass the second level, not sure if there is a bug. I cant traverse the wall like in first level. Great music&graph though.

I'm having the same trouble as NuSan, and I can't see any levers :/

Lovely art and sound though, good use of the theme too :)

Seems like there are some bugs, or maybe I am misunderstanding the game.. At least I can't move through any of the blocks in 'level 2'

No levers on my screen, i use the web version on windows (tested on firefox, chrome and IE)
🎤 MrSylar59
25. Aug 2014 · 14:52 UTC
It's strange because the levers texture are uploaded and if it can't be a bug because it's only few people who have this problem... Maybe try the Windows vertion?

Also can't see any levers in the web version (Linux, Chrome 37)
NuSan
25. Aug 2014 · 17:21 UTC
Also tested the windows installed version, same bug. Maybe you did something wrong when fixing the keyboard?

I go check and try to fix it but that work perfectly for me so, I don't know :/

Reuploaded, still working for me, tell me if it works for you too.
I think I know the answer but : Your browser support Htlm5?

Don't get the levers either, I'll be back later. Game loos fun though :)

25. Aug 2014 · 19:37 UTC
That strange and intrigue me ! I checked on 4 computers on IE, Chrome and FirFox : All can see the levers in level 2.

Did you checked World 2? (levers are only in world 2)

Yop, j'viens d'indiemag mais je vais écrire en anglais quand même pour que tout le monde puisse comprendre.

Nice game, I like the graphics and the music changing with the world you're in. The controls weren't that good though, I wish I was able to go in 8 directions rather than 4.
Congrats for making the music on your own, it's pretty good !

Really cool flavor. The Keyboard input is a little "sticky" which can cause some frustration at times. but I love the artwork and really like the game design/mechanics. :)

Cool. But I did not understand why the mobs? They do not cause any damage.

Hi there. Like the sounds, though they jar after a bit. I found the mobs on lv3 a bit too tough, probably not fast enough reactions.

Nice game! Maybe putting the change world button more accessible so your finger don't have to quit wasd (space for example) and only one button that make switch.

Neat game. Music could be slightly longer ;)

Enemies get stuck a few times and wander. Good mechanic and it's really challenging

Funky game! controls get a little sticky.

Interesting concept!

Some suggestions:
* less contrast text - it's over saturated a bit.
* In survival level add countdown. I can only count in my head :3

Good job anyways!

I love the idea of switching between two versions of the same map to discover new things. Checkpoints after level completion would encourage to experiment even more. Game has good appeal! Good job!

Good take on the theme. However it was rather difficult to avoid the enemies on level 3. Good work!
