The Character Editor is a really cool idea!
Am i to dumb or is it impossible to pass the spikes? :D
Your game was quite fun, some bugs, but playable ;)

Character creation was implemented in full but was causing some issues so I paused the event

Hmm sadly there is no much to play. Or at least I die always haha

Kind of wish when you die, you just respawn back at the beginning. Kind of tedious to have to keep clicking new game. :P

GJ, though. It's fun to play. ^_^

Ok but I would've done the character creation after you got everything else working! The collision detection was a bit flaky

I liked that there was a character editor. I couldn't tell if "long hair" was meant to be female.

I feel that slopes should not exist if I cannot walk up them.

I should be able to restart with the same character without mouse input any time I die (without any input, even)

the 1st pit kills me and the 2nd one is necessary to fall in, which seems a bit odd. The player also collides with corners a bit strangely sometimes.

There is also a point where the ground is the same color as the background and I walk off a ledge because I can't tell that it stops. This is sort of ok if I can instantly restart at a checkpoint a little bit earlier, but going back to a new game menu and the start of the game makes any "unfair" seeming death feel particularly frustrating.

hmm, not sure how to get past the spikes, nice job making a character creator even if it wasn't fully implemented :)

Not bad, but I think there should be "2-keys handling" or something. I died always because I can't jump and run at the same time, I had to first jump and after try to move in air. Anyway, quite good like 48 hours.

Hmm... this needs more work in my opinion. It seems weird that some black tiles are solid and other aren't (unless I'm missing something.) Otherwise, it feels like I'm supposed to just do generic run and jump and hope I went the right way or something.

Like the creator but it didn't seem to affect the character I played as? Nice work though.

Is the long jump possible? I was thinking about trying to land in different spots since the floor is invisible, but gave up.

Good graphics and awesome Character creator. Pretty mediocre game play though. You had things that nobody could get on the first try, like the button that causes the spikes to come at you. This is a good game mechanic if people know about it, but because you didn't include a tutorial or something, it was a little annoying.

Background was a bit too dark to see the holes in the ground, great start tho! :)

such an unforgiving game should not go back to the title screen if you die!!

i like the idea but going through the menu again and again is annoying. as with many ludum dare games, the addition of even basic audio would have added a lot!

Yeah just ran out of time for music I had one track for it but was experiencing HTML-5 Issues so spent a hour or 2 fixing that nubbins but did not release that version in the end... Also I was worried about my ftp server having a few issues as the host puts it. It was running slow for a week.
