Creatures from beneath the surface by schnüt
Prepare for a.... really short... Adventure in the depths of dark caves!
Will you be brave enough to jump down the entry? Will you be strong enough to get back up? How is it possible to ascend the tower on the east of this land? What kind of creatures are you going to encounter in the shadows of the sunken world? And why am I asking all of these questions?
This is my first time at Ludum Dare. I didn't have quite as much time as hoped, but it was fun nethertheless. ^^
As a consequence, there is no real end. Consider the game won if you get to the top of the tower in the east. :-)
This game is made with pure Javascript, without any framework, the sounds were made with sfxr.
Now, have fun!

At first it looked very simplistic. Then I fell down the cavern, and found a nice new tileset, with pretty columns. Then I found a bouncing blob. Not really sure if it reacted to my space bar or just randomly grew on its own, but anyway it helped me going back to the upper levels. Then I found a second blob, and reached the top of the tower, and I guess it was the end of the game even if no message announced it? The scrolling is a bit jerky, and it's not too deep or complex a game, but still nice and cozy.
Oh, thanks alot for using arrow keys!
It is really great to see some reactions, that really shows where I can improve and motivates me a lot.
I might start a bit earlier next year, to have a bit more time for everything. ^^
Sorry that it doesn't work in some browsers (I heard of problems with IE and Opera), I wasn't aware that wavs aren't supported everywhere. Chrome or Firefox should do the job.
I think this game has a lot of potential with a goal to achieve or something!
