Deathwish Dan by JHollands
F3 TO SKIP FIRST LEVEL IF YOU'RE TIRED OF DYING!
Website: jhollands.co.uk
This is my first game and my first Ludum Dare - a lovely stressful challenge. Deathwish Dan tends to die after 10 seconds in different places unless he does things. Yeah that's about it.
Important:
You might lose a couple of times if you're determined to win - press F3 on the first level to skip it if you're tired of the animation at the start - didn't have time to create an alternative. Nor did I have time to add any sound at all. You'll also notice that the game clearly gets more buggy/less attractive/more crude as you get closer to the unfinished, buggy ending - my bad.
Also it got a bit weird somewhere around the all-nighter area. I'm still not quite sure how the ending ended up that way.
Still, I achieved my main goals and am pretty happy with some of the art assets and animations. Looking forward to playing some other people's games now!
EDIT: Ha yeah ending is pretty screwed. Oh well it didn't make sense anyway!

The game had me hooked the moment he started moonwalking to the closet.
@theholychicken: haha yeah the bottom of the wife thing is a bug - no idea why it exists. Thanks though!
@Zer0Kelvin: Yeah I guess that I should have communicated the dying after 10 seconds thing a little better!
About an update: not 100% it'll happen - I'll see if I can find the time!
- great pixel art
- awesome and immersive gameplay
- awesome animations
love <3
PS : the bugs I got playing it were awesomely funny too
Really fun, too! :)
Seriously, this is great. The first room had me in shambles, with the timing, the moonwalk, and the sudden death :D
Amazing work!
\o/
I absolutely love the premise too! But I wish the game had a quick rset button, starting over and over again can get tiring.
Nice job!
