Jack Primus and the Adventure of Tiny Things by Wizered67
Jack Primus and the Adventure of Tiny Things is a game created by Team Quadratics as our first Ludum Dare game. We had a great time making this game, although we didn't include everything we wanted because of the time restraints. There may also be several issues, although hopefully none of them are too major.
The controls are:
W - Jump
A - Left
D - Right
Space - Boomerang
Enjoy and good luck!

Though, to be honest, playing the game was kinda cruel. The screen size changes ingame, the boomerang is no real boomerang, no sounds except the president music, the second enemy doesn't die when you stand where he stands and you throw your 'ruler'. and the jumping is somehow feeling unnatural. battle music + sounds would have been nice
since you guys are a team, consider this game as a start. take a good look at entries of other people, put in more thought into polish and stuff, compare your game to those of others. and then, compete agin, and several LDs later, look back at this entry and smile :)
One suggestion would be to increase the boomerang's speed and prevent it from getting stuck on the walls.
Weird game, weird graphics, awesome gameplay. A tad bit too hard on the second level though, that yellow-block throwing dude was impossible to evade :(
But I could not beat the second guy. Kind of unfair that his yellow squares changed in size, and that the boomerang needs so much time to come back.
It's okay for a start, learn from it for future jams.
A tactic made defeating first 2 enemies a breeze, but 3rd one seemed to be just skill-based.
And boomerang sometimes stucks. And it's annoying.
