A Lava Quest by vogon101

[raw]
made by vogon101 for LD29 (COMPO)
Bear in mind that this is my first EVER game and it was made in pure java with only LWJGL. You are a miner. You have got stuck underground in the middle of a volcanic eruption. The lava is rising and you must flee. If the jar file does not run when you double click try running it from CMD (java -jar LavaQuest.jar) and do not use runnable.jar WASD to move. Cheats: M,N,B,K Download the zip from Google drive and extract it. Then either run the .jar file OR the correct executable for your OS.

The coin sound was a bit too loud, it seems like when you hit a coin block multiple coins pop out, so I guess that's why. Also the jumping and graphics are a bit derpy, but other than that you did pretty good.

Bright and colorfull graphics. Controls are good, player jumps surprisingly high, but that's ok. Nice game! :)

The jumping controls feel oddly geometric to me.

Controls are a bit weird, but for a first game you did very well :-) Good job!

Mechanics are really weird, and it makes the game feel unnatural and clunky to play, but otherwise a fun game.

I enjoyed the platforming and the pressure from the rising lava. Some more sound feedback would be good. Look forward to your next entry.

For your first ever game, and made in 48 hours, this is pretty impressive. Keep making games! :D

The jumping mechanic was a bit strange but I had fun playing this game. Great job on your first game.

Good ideas, graphics, etc, working fine, just the game mechanics could be better.

That jump is the one I implemented in my very first platformer 2 years ago! Feels pretty nostalgic...
Nice game.

It didn't do anything when I tried to run it on OSX. I didn't even get a crash error.

Ok, to a first game it is good, but I didnt like de mechanics, graphics and songs, but nice job, and good luck.

Pretty nice game for your first game ever! The jumping mechanic needs improvement, but otherwise a good entry!
