F29 by JUJU

[raw]
made by JUJU for LD30 (JAM)
There's one known bug: the way you attack is completely broken. The player character should swing the torch and stop, but due to, uh, "limitations", you can attack infinitely by holding space.
The platforms in level two are also broken-ish, but the player can get by.
Other than that, all you need is the arrow keys and the spacebar.

Regarding to the theme, it is very subtle, but you actually warp between two worlds in the game (it always happens when the scary music starts to play). I guess it's more like an alternative reality, though.

Anyway, we are:
Fernando Neto: Programming, Level Design
Juliano Reis: Game Design, Level Design, Sound and Music, Writing
Rafael Brum: Art, Music

Hope you guys enjoy our little game.

EDIT: Let us know if you figure out the plot in the comments! ;D

The platforming is a bit iffy at times, but overall its a nice solid platformed with decent art and atmosphere. Well done

Nice little game. When I hold space, then the torch is a realy undefeatable weapon... godlike ;) Then after jumping a lot and falling a lot, I was killd by one of those blue running dogs(?) and then I have to start at the beginning at the dungeon... This is hardcore ;) A few more checkpoint would be really nice.. Good job so far

Some of the more punishing and frustrating platforming I've come across this LD :^) could have had a smaller collision box and a better jump and been significantly more fun; the current "jump after you leave the platform and land before you land" and tiny windows made for a very annoying play time :P

The light effect was pretty neat, the infinite attacking certainly helped stave off the horse things, haha.

Interesting platformer, the guy made me think about Walter White :P.
Story is a bit unclear - did I miss something at the beginning?

I don't think I'll ever learn to appreciate pixel perfect jumps... That being said, nice work with this.

Didn't make it all the way to the end. Kept dying on the second level while jumping from one platform to another lower down. I like the graphics, wish there was a little more animation tho, and the music could need some work.
