Magnum Opus by OctopusKnight

[raw]
made by OctopusKnight for LD36 (JAM)
Grog has spent his lifetime working on his greatest creation, the wheel. Prepared to showcase his craftsmanship to the others, he was surprised to learn a storm the other night had created a new phenomenon, fire. With everyone distracted with the incredible and warm miracle, no one will give Grog's wheel any attention. Make things right.

A 2D platformer with a lot of problems, but some heart! About a caveman's wheel as he sends it off to distinguish fires that take away from his brilliance. There is cartoony blood!

First Time Ludum Dare with some friends! Used GameMaker Standard, so it is a runnable executive and not hosted onto a website. But if you're willing to download it and try it, I hope you enjoy the experience enough!

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Nice idea and animations, the second level is too hard though

Thank you! We ended up spending too much time thinking of a concept and then making the game/sprites. So the levels and sounds weren't too heavily planned out.
