THATBEACH by CTATZ

[raw]
made by CTATZ for LD26 (COMPO)
Hello Everyone! THATBEACH is my submission for LD26 as well as my first submission to LD period. It was an awesome experience and I hope you all enjoy your game!

The game is a 2d platformer and draws minimalistic inspiration from a pixel art style as well as simple platformer. However, the Character's journey is the main aspect for the theme and I hope you guys finish the game so you can see what it is!


The difficulty is intentional and is meant to go along with the plight of the character! Beating the game would mean a lot to me.

Thank you for playing and cheers.

Great game! Really enjoyed the concept and simplicity of it.

I liked the art style, but the gameplay is, in my opinion, not good. Jumps are slow and clumsy and overall it's just a tedious game to play. It's clearly not designed to be "fun," but rather to waste time, so I can't really rate it too high, sorry to say.

It may be someone else's cup of tea, but this embodies everything I hate in a poor platformer, except the visuals are nice.

I like the graphics!
Was thrown off briefly by collisions with the underside of platforms.

Pretty cool, I just would probably speed up (or allow skipping) of the intro. It seemed to take forever!

Great game graphics are nice and simple, game play is pretty solid and challenging, took me awhile to finish to the end and i liked that. Also the ending was a nice touch.

The way he looks when he jumps make me laugh. But otherwise I found the jumping much too difficult.

A bit strange. But not too bad :)

Fun game! A few minor collision bugs, however they do not impede gameplay. Overall, good time.

TrentSterling, you can go into the water to respawn!

Thank you for all the comments guys! I was going for a more difficult / frustrating game play to relate to the character. I know there are collision bugs too but I did the best I could with the allowed time! I really wanted to finish the game and have an ending. I hope that at least some of you get to it!

Thank you!

Cool graphics ! Sorry could not stand the collision system, too inaccurate and strange. Nice work anyway :)

It takes me back to playing maple story and having to do one of those tedious jump-quests with a huge level with platforms just like your game. The graphics are nice and colorful but the platforming needs some work. The main thing I have with it is that you can't jump through the platforms but need to go around them. If you fix only that, the game would be a whole lot more enjoyable. :)

please dont take too much offense -- but that was maybe the worst jump animation/physics i have seen -- i give you marks for finishing but it was almost fun -- it was also not the worst either -- nice effort

Nice intro / Titlescreen :) The game lack some checkpoints. I got really far and was very frustrated to restart from the island.
