One Sword To Escape by Gas

[raw]
made by Gas for LD28 (COMPO)
Hello everyone im gasquake this is my second successful ludumdare entry and im actually quite proud of it the only thing I would have changed was to enter the jam and have help from an artist but I did the best I could for art :P! the object of the game is to escape from the test facility that you are put in and are being tested at by a scientist. I hope you all enjoy it and don't forget to rate it! Thank you.

Really like the humor of the writing and the "beam up" when you die. Trying to jump right next to a step is a bit hard and timing the sword attack is tricky. Well done overall, I had fun playing it.

Nice graphics :)
The game itself is a bit tricky but fun.

How am I supposed to get back up in Level 2 when I fall down? :D

@dqmhose on the levels you can fall down you can press r to restart it

The controls are hard, and jumping feels a little bit weird.
On level two it would be nice to have a lower platform so player can start again without hitting 'R', when he fall down.

I think that your control does not allow for the influence of multiple directions at once. I think that might be easy to fix so that if you hit up and left at the same time both take effect rather than having to do one then the other for combined motion. The main thing I would change though is the zoom level, maybe making the game window larger so that we could see your pixel art more clearly. This would add a lot to the charm of the game. The beam animation is really cool though. I debated making dying more "rewarding" in my game but I chose to spend time elsewhere. But now after seeing your beam I regret my decision.

The controls are bit inexact, specifically jumping; but it's still a fun enough platformer.

Sorry, some java problem doesn't let me run the game.

Nevermind, my bad, made a typo when entering the command that starts the game. The game is fun, but the connection with the theme is too cheap.
