Find my Sun by stink123456

[raw]
made by stink123456 for LD30 (JAM)
Hi there,

After alot of trouble me and Michi were able to upload the game! (His network crashed in the upload hour and he had the latest version of the game.

THEME: after a long and hard brainstorm we understood that a multiverse wouldn't be a good idea so we started thinking of worlds as planets, as our "world" in the daily life is pretty much limited to the Earth. It was my idea to make a puzzler but we have both given alot of input into the design. So bassicly its about this part of the solar system (moon earth sun) trying to get connected and orbit again. The theme is not strong in this one but it has deffinantly been thought trough!


Tutorial:
wad: move
F: interact
Left click:


Note: Some sounds and effects are missing in the last boss fight due to a lack of time.

I could not load the webpage to play your game.

Really impressive stage layout! I got stuck a couple of times, but always managed to find a way out. Cool game :)

The platforming does feel a little rough, the moon thing is actually really neat. I enjoyed it overall!

Good game, I like the controls.

Hello, we will release an update fixing some jumping issues, fixing that the sun in level2 actually shoots and making the game overall more smooth, we didn't notice this while developing this gamemode, anyway if you got stuck somewhere and want to see our epic storylines filled with cutscenes (and an awesome boss Mars planet at the end that shoots lasers out of his eyes), tomorrow we will upload a new version. Michi already went to sleep and he has the files, that's the reason I can't upload a fixed version right now.
Thanks and have fun!

Not sure if it's a bug or I'm just playing the game wrongly, but my moon can't seem to press the second red button in the game, the one just after the two moving lifts.

@HundredHundred, that button is meant for the player. Sorry we need to add a different sprite for it.

The mechanics were good, the graphics were great, but the game felt shoehorned into the theme rather then being more central to the design.

Theme not with standing though this was actually quite fun.

Hey thanks for pointing out uploading problem, it would be awesome if you could check back :D.

P.S. Liked your game as well, nice puzzles, fun art. I must agree that the theme is not entirely visible in this one.

We fixed some bugs. First of all green buttons are green now and the sun actually will shoot at you. We just forgot to uncomment 1 line of code for activating the sun behaviour after the cutscene is finished.

Moon got stuck on the red switch in the 2nd level, couldn't get the moon out :( Nice entry though!

Moon got stuck? Think again. Its a puzzle platformer, there must be someway to get your moon back, right?

I couldn't get the web version or the osx version to work

Certainly different world physics :)

I had real difficulty getting through the early levels, so either I'm super bad at this kind of physics or there's a glitch somewhere.

Cool ideas for mechanics. Movement would do with a bit more polish though. Also when playing the web version right mouse button brings up a menu which is unfortunate.

It's pretty hard to use right click and some other controls are a bit of buggy.

Thank you for your feedback!
For the problem with rightclicking in the webplayer we recommend using fullscreen, then this menu doesnt appear on rightclick.

Neat concept with the moon following the cursor and the earth following normal platformer controls :)

The cutscenes add some nice variety to the levels, as do the cool moon powers.

Awesome game! my only complaint is that I couldn't get used to the physics. Controls are not as tight as I hoped. other than that! fantastic entry!

The movement needs a bit of work to feel better. Jumping can be frustrating.. consider allowing jumping while rolling? Movement feels sluggish.

I love the story line and especially the moon character during the cutscenes.

Some of the art is fairly pixelated in contrast to the smooth lightning bolts and polished planets.

Difficulty was a little intense and frustrating because I didn't feel in control.

It definitely could use more polish, but the planets are so completely adorable at times. Too bad I couldn't finish this level starting with trampolines because it was just so random, and Earth was so slow, and when I eventually managed to switch the lever it turned out I stopped at the wrong position or I just ended up landing right on the spiked balls. >.<

Congrats on your first entry! The graphics were simple, but I was impressed at the mechanics you used, with the moon following the cursor, gravity and such. Very well done!

The game was pretty good. A little trouble with the mechanics once you are on the candelabras and the theme was way off but other than that this is a solid entry. Nice job! :)
