made by scorder for LD25 (COMPO)
Second Ludum Dare.

If you ever wonder what to do, press "SPACE"

Since this is a HTML5 game, it seems you are better off trying it out with Chrome.
This is confirmed on my laptop where Firefox is choppy and without any sound...

I was not very happy with my entry last time, a lot of time was lost getting used to the language and libraries.
This time too, I wanted to get a feeling for another technology. And I ended up losing go much time in the same way. So here it is, as good and bad as it is :D

Nice work! It was a bit frustrating due to the slow movement, but I think there's potential. Just try make the movement more fluid, it'll help a lot. I want to feel like a ninja when playing these kind of games :)

I liked the grabbing spots and overall gameplay. Speed didn't bother me much, it felt like it was more precise, at least to me. Nice job!

Is there a trick to getting past the third pit? I've tried like 10 times now.

Thanks for your comments!

I have had quite a nightmare understanding how the collision engine of Crafty works, so there are still issues here.

Specifically, you will be able to step completely off the platform before you fall.
That's the trick for the last pit; you have to jump at the very last moment, and do the "double-jump" near at the highest point, and you will be able to grab on the opposite ledge.

The jumping was a little bit slow - and it took me a second to work out you could double jump - I wasn't able to get past that final put on the first level thogh
