I bet it would have been pretty cool. Judging from the simple and solid mechanic (moving). Pretty sweet for your first game in Flixel. Or anything for that matter."},{"author_name":"RosyPenguin","author_uid":"5628","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 3:19am","epoch":1346296440,"text":"Thanks guys!

Funny thing is all the 3 styles are v. polished and would have been happy to play a game in any! Maybe try adding some obstacles next."},{"author_name":"Alex Shestakov","author_uid":"15811","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 3:09am","epoch":1346382240,"text":"Good start!\rMy advice is always to add background music and sounds. SFXR + freemusicarchive should definitely make any game without audio much much more appealing. Even when the sound doesn't match very well )"},{"author_name":"ElliotFiske","author_uid":"15847","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 3:15am","epoch":1346382600,"text":"Great start to a game - the controls feel solid and the graphics have a nice lo-res appeal. Obviously needs some sort of puzzle\/enemy but it's a fantastic foundation."},{"author_name":"fruitfly","author_uid":"10227","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 6:15am","epoch":1346393400,"text":"it is easy to see that you have experience as an artist. even though it is a simple visual still it feels consistent and really nice looking. like it a lot!"},{"author_name":"Kali Purr","author_uid":"14999","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 9:35am","epoch":1346405400,"text":"I really like the musical progression in the Post Jam version.

I especially like the player character animation.\r\rAlso in the future please make it so that holding a key will also move as tapping a single key constantly just to move one direction is kind of dull."},{"author_name":"bobiniki","author_uid":"5583","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 6:35pm","epoch":1346524200,"text":"For a beginner game developer its very nice you made this for 72h.

I love the post-jam version, as it really starts to show the evolution of your graphics. Look forward to seeing more level to come!"},{"author_name":"thewiseguy99","author_uid":"14421","time":"Sep 6, 2012 @ 6:23pm","epoch":1346955480,"text":"What a great effort when this is your first try at programming. I enjoyed the gameplay. Nice simple approach but showed evolution from level to level. Agree about holding down the movement keys instead of the tapping! But other than that, a job well done!"},{"author_name":"Haddy22","author_uid":"14967","time":"Sep 10, 2012 @ 3:50pm","epoch":1347291900,"text":"The art of the little black dude holding the key on the "The End" screen was awesome! :)\r\rNice start- no challenge, like pac-man without the ghosts. Nice start though and great job as this was your first flixel game."},{"author_name":"Haddy22","author_uid":"14967","time":"Sep 10, 2012 @ 3:55pm","epoch":1347292200,"text":"ah- now I see the theme!\rI just played your Post-Jam version as well, and could totally see the progression or "Evolution" of the graphics with each level. I did not catch it with the jam version with only 2 levels it is not obvious but the post jam version makes it clear that that's what is going on and made me enjoy your game a lot more. Clever idea! Game looks great come level 4. nice pixel art!"},{"author_name":"RosyPenguin","author_uid":"5628","time":"Sep 12, 2012 @ 5:59pm","epoch":1347472440,"text":"Thanks guys! I'm still working on the post-jam, slowly restructuring the code to allow more obstacle types and better level design. I hope to have a new version up by the end of the judging period.\r\rThings to come: pushable blocks, unlockable doors, holding down a key for continuous movement. Thanks for all the feedback :D"}],"images":["ld24\/5628-2c07b9cb0122492c028a08e333b6b2f9.jpg","ld24\/5628-01a8277db2ff88787c1bbfd65ba732e6.jpg","ld24\/5628-eab288e99db297c807a84c14507aea47.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/5173845\/ludum24\/testLD.swf","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/5173845\/ludum24\/postJam\/ResoluteLD.swf","text":"Post-Jam (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"28622","g_author":"5628","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"28652","g_title":"Resolute","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"253","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/5628-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/5628-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/5628-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hey everyone!
