Lead the Bunny by Coruon
My entry for Ludumdare #26 is Lead the Bunny! A game in which you are leading a widdle bunny wabbit through treacherous levels. It's the first time I've finished Ludumdare and as such, it took me some time to get through so there are only 14 levels.
CONTROLS
Mouse - Move Bunny. He is afraid of the dark. He follows your light. But he is too shy to ever enter it.
W - Jump
A/D - Dash
S - Stop bunny from moving.
Click & Drag - View the map, if it is larger than the screen.
Enjoy :)
NOTE: I figured out the issue with the jar! I had an extra slash when trying to load in images :$ My bad :P Everything should be fine now.
NOTE 2: I had a few friends play my game and they pointed out that level 13 was impossible, no matter what they did so I've made it so the game just skips the level so people can get to the ending (if they make it that far). So don't be alarmed when you go from level 12 to 14. I hope that isn't against the rules?

It was fun to play. After a while it really hurts to start over from the very beginning, that's something to improve i think. Leading the bunny was intuitive most of the time, but sometimes I would loose control while trying to jump/dash over something that could bring my sweet bunny to a painful death. Mainly because I didn't move the mouse pointer far enough or something. But that's really minor things. All in all I think its a solid entry.
Good theming and execution. Nice polish throughout. The signposts were a good way to teach the game concepts. This is well done.
A polished, complete entry, and an achievement. But, sadly, the controls ruin it for me (though, admirably, the controls support your theme well.)
The only criticisms I have are that limiting the frequency of my dashes seems a bit arbitrary since it isn't actually timing me. And similarly, lives seem like an unnecessary retro throwback - it takes a more polished game than this to get a replay out of me.
But on the whole it was good.
I like it! ;)
The controls were mostly fine, but I was really bothered by the fact that the bunny slowed down when getting closer to the light. That was especially annoying when trying to maneuver close to the edges of the level. Also, rather than clicking and dragging to move the camera, I'd rather have the camera move automatically, leading the cursor or something.
The tutorial levels were well laid out and informative. The game also looked very clean and nice graphically.
Great work!
