I keep falling off the edge right under that big ghost after the first yellow health checkpoint!! I must be getting too tired, will have to try to beat it again in the morning (I feel like this is something I should be able to do!!)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The menus after the reset are really annoying. Be nice to either use keyboard instead of mouse clicks to navigate or to reset within the level (preferably at a yellow checkpoint, perhaps I didn't get far enough to find a checkpoint though).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics (background especially) and lighting are really nice. Great job on the special effects, especially the shots. The music is cutesy but doesn't fit overly well :P Great job guys!"},{"author_name":"kyyrma","author_uid":"8424","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 8:32am","epoch":1398760020,"text":"In the future you might give controls a bit more though, right now the layout is a bit odd. Also using mouse for the menu and keyboard for the actual game would work if not for having to use enter as your attack button.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The sprites and background are really nice, but the floor tiles are a bit bland and repetitive. The latter goes for the music too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still a solid entry, congrats!"},{"author_name":"TeamAlpha","author_uid":"27826","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 6:34pm","epoch":1398882540,"text":"The shared health\/energy pool is an interesting concept, really challenging! On the other hand, I think the control layout could be better, especially by changing the attack key. Great job!"},{"author_name":"01F0","author_uid":"34224","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 7:00pm","epoch":1398884100,"text":"Fun game! It kept me want to continue playing (grinding :D ). I think you nailed the theme.  The atmosphere is cosy. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>There is a place where I got stuck\/glitched which forced me to wait to be killed by the enemies. That's the only negative feedback I have, great entry otherwise. Cheers!"},{"author_name":"AtkinsSJ","author_uid":"1049","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 8:16pm","epoch":1398888660,"text":"The health\/ammo being the same is a cool idea. The game looks nice, and I liked the jolly music. However, it was frustrating to have to start over when I fell through some of the gaps. (I am not very good at games. :P)"},{"author_name":"mjrevel","author_uid":"34082","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 11:15pm","epoch":1398899400,"text":"Not bad looking game, controls are wonky and its very easy to get stuck on top of a spikey ghost and not able to move :("},{"author_name":"FGM","author_uid":"37077","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 1:39pm","epoch":1399124040,"text":"Good game. I like the graphics and music. The only complaint I have it the controls. A + D + SPACE is just a strange combination and I had a hard time getting used to it."},{"author_name":"GamerTaters","author_uid":"35352","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 3:15pm","epoch":1399129800,"text":"Nice game. The control combination seemed a bit odd though. A quick button press to restart the game would be cool too. I definitely see what you were going for with the dark moody cave however. Nice mood. Good work."},{"author_name":"kibertoad","author_uid":"7122","time":"May 10, 2014 @ 8:37pm","epoch":1399753920,"text":"Too much flying stuff, controls are not very responsive and it wasn't such a good idea to hide that beautiful background under the filter. Also using enter to shoot is unintuitive. Aside from that I had some fun with it."},{"author_name":"mystakin","author_uid":"28484","time":"May 12, 2014 @ 4:43am","epoch":1399869480,"text":"Once I saw that the rays of light healed my character, I was into this game. I always like a good platformer, and the ability to shoot projectiles gives me a Megaman vibe. Simple and fun. :)"},{"author_name":"slumber","author_uid":"34428","time":"May 21, 2014 @ 9:37pm","epoch":1400707920,"text":"Thanks for the all the comments guys. This was our first game jam and we had a ton of fun. The real value for us has been the constructive criticisms of what worked and what didn't in our comment section, so thanks again.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Looking forward to the next dare!"}],"images":["ld29\/34428-9aa4bda644d4f32db21302278241bf23.jpg","ld29\/34428-cc0997e2ad213e848329193788ba81cc.jpg","ld29\/34428-b4cc097b6c263232ef9a95fed82187b8.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/null6nkvjunaf5s\/Candorem%20-%20Ludum%20Dare%2029.zip","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"20076","g_author":"34428","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"20105","g_title":"Candorem","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"478","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34428-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34428-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34428-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"CANDOREM\r\n\r\nGoal: To vanquish the shadows below and bring light to the world beneath the surface!\r\nControls: \t\r\n\t\tMove Left : \tA\r\n\t\tMove Right :\tD\r\n\t\tJump :\t\tSPACE\r\n\t\tAttack:\t\tENTER\r\n\r\nFeatures:\r\n\r\n-Side scrolling platform game  \t\r\n-Single Health\/Energy Bar which limits health and energy for attacks. {Spamming attack will kill you}\r\n-Projectile attacks\r\n-Several enemies with unique movements and abilities\r\n-Boss style progression\r\n-Beams of light from above to restore Health\/Energy Bar\r\n\r\n\r\nCreated by Slumber Studios\t\r\n\r\nJacob Kosterman - Game design\/programming\r\nPeter Cresmasco - Game design\/programming\r\nMark Ruggle - Game design\/programming\r\nDylan Stahl - Music\/SFX\r\nJamie Robinson - Music\/SFX\r\nDoug Melanson - Art\r\n\r\n\r\nVisit us @ www.slumberstudios.com\r\n\r\n \r\nCreated with: Gamemaker Studio,  Particle Designer, BFXR, Logic Pro 8, and Paint.NET\r\n\r\n","title":"Candorem"}
