The wall jumping is pretty cool as well. I found the path to reach the top left orb frustrating. The other two when I messed up, it felt like a mistake on my part.

My biggest problem with the game is that I didn't understand a thing about the story and the setting until I came back here and saw the text, and it's "sad" because it's a great idea. Cool entry anyway, I had a good time."},{"author_name":"Waffenwars","author_uid":"11573","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 8:51pm","epoch":1335559560,"text":"nice game, the mechanic is well executed. The art style is great, and the lighting, but it's a bit too dark which resulted in some frustration when I just couldn't see the enemis before I jumped into them (especially on the light orb to the left (up and to the left). I thought it was possible to jump down on the right after that left orb as well which resulted in dying some times. Other than that, great, also loved the animations."},{"author_name":"jeffz","author_uid":"4842","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 11:44pm","epoch":1335569940,"text":"Found the lighting distracting but interesting, controls felt a like they could be tweaked a bit.

The lack of audio jumped out a few minutes in, when I realized the deaths were silent. I like how big the levels were, though I didn't understand how anything fit into the theme. The spotlight effect was really neat in the darker areas, and the running animation was cool but I think my ten-year-old computer gave me some foot-slip. The music loop was waaaaay too short though, it got repetitive. Overall, fancy stuff!"},{"author_name":"VoidChronos","author_uid":"10940","time":"Apr 30, 2012 @ 8:38pm","epoch":1335817980,"text":"Really cool game. Graphics are so beautiful (wish i could do so).

The game was made in roughly 20 hours of work.\r\n\r\n- Whats it all about?\r\n--- You control a surrealistic character which resides inside a blood cell\r\n--- Within each blood cell of our body, there is a tiny litte world\r\n--- These worlds vary in size (different levels)\r\n--- Blood cells real function is to deliver oxygen around the body. So..\r\n--- The character in the game's function is to gather the oxygen bubbles within a blood cell, so that the blood cell can successfully do its job.\r\n\r\n- How do i play?!\r\n--- Use the arrow buttons to navigate. While next to a wall, press left\/right to jump off the wall. Hold the arrow down key to slide fast down the walls!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game was obviously rushed, thus some introductional features didnt make it in. Additional levels, mechanics, polish and some time pressure was planned but didnt make it in. The music and the menu were created within the last hour, which is fairly reflected in the demo!\r\n\r\nTools used: Aviary for music, Photoshop for art, and the Construct 2 engine for everything else.\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy it!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n- Read more here:\r\n--- http:\/\/sidetrackgames.wordpress.com\/2012\/04\/23\/ludum-dare-23-participation\/\r\n\r\n- See my post-mortem post here:\r\n--- http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/04\/24\/lost-oxide-post-mortem\/\r\n\r\n- Try the tool i used to make my entry for free here:\r\n--- http:\/\/www.scirra.com\/?a=1k2<\/p>","title":"Lost Oxide"}
