Into the Light by okeedokeben

[raw]
made by okeedokeben for LD29 (COMPO)
Run away from the collapsing rocks behind you, and run toward the light! Avoid rocks and use TNT to blast through in an emergency!

Use left/right to move and up to throw TNT when available.

Made with GameMaker:Studio, sfxr, Reason and love.

This is my first LD48 entry. I'm @benthornburg of @okeedokestudios. Enjoy!

Could you publish a Linux version? I think Game Maker should be capable of doing that.

Quite small. I get you are a beginning developer, so I hope you keep learning to develop games.

@UnixXNova: Yeah, I need to brush up on my pixel art before the next jam. Usually, I beg someone else to do my art. :)

@YSelf Tool: I wish I had the funds to purchase the Linux (and HTML5) export modules, but Windows + Mac are my only options right now. I could put out a Mac port if that would help.

Thanks for playing, everyone!

Took a while to work out that TNT didn't knock you down with it's explosion down to an unlucky timing first time I threw it. Gets kinda random near the victory condition. Kinda fun though.
