Little Viking by pythong

[raw]
made by pythong for LD29 (COMPO)
WARNING: THIS GAME IS HARD, AND INTENDED TO BE SO!

You are a little viking, who follows his idols to the dungeons of Loki! Unfortunately, all the adult vikings are dead, because Loki, mischievious as he is, had lots and lots of traps in his dungeons. Will you be able to survive?

Left/Right or A/D to move, SPACE to jump


*I'M DONE. I caught a cold on the second day, but still pulled through because I didn't want my efforts on the first day go to waste. But I would have loved to make even harder levels. Have fun!*

Are you kidding me? Double spikes on a slant? ... -_- Sadly, I could not get past this jump before I rage quit. Comic style is awesome. Music seemed to be mocking me after my 50th+ try...

Nice game. Just a bit frustrating sometimes as some levels are pretty challenging. Check out my game!

Finished it with 32 deaths. Most importantly, it was fun! The level where you have to keep jumping up was the best.

The difficulty curve was inconsistent though - some levels I only died once, others many times.

Great looking game, let down by the double spikes on the slant. There's hard, and then there's too hard and so early on in the game too. Would have loved to play further :)

- Love the Hägar the horrible-like style of the game and intro.
- The camera should be more zoomed out. It's hard to see obstacles and hazards along the path.
- Jump lacks control. It should be pressure sensitive (really easy to implement in unity and the default character controller already does that).

It's a really charming game, anyhow.
Kudos!

Is that the keyboard cat music? :D it sounds a lot like it. I ragequit pretty early, but overall 4/5 for the voice acting/intro cinematic art.

Bonus point for the kid paddle art :)

Making a hard game may have been your intention, and I like those games, but the difficulty curve was really steep. I can't tell how many tries I needed to pass that first obstacle on the slope.

Next time I think it would be a good idea to make 1 or 2 additional easy levels, just to let the player get a hand of the controls

Nice little platform game, the difficulty is a bit high, but good job!

Nice little platformer! Man, double ramp spikes is rough. Want to be able to restart faster though after I die. Music is kinda catchy!
