The Last Geek by Robotic
First : some levels might be hard. Very hard. Even if I made sure they can ALL be done, i've seen myself how frustrating some levels can be. USE THE MOUSE in case you're desperate and want to see the end of the game.
I didn't have time to make music, sadly.
Please play it, I put a lot of effort into it !
There is a tutorial, but in case you wonder :
use the arrows to move and jump around, space to aim and C to fire seeds (if you have some). Also "V" to clear the screen from bodies.
This is a story of the last man on Earth, a random geek who survived the apocalypse by staying at home, playing video games.
Now he runs around naked, and goes on a quest to get a girlfriend to repopulate Earth.

i have a feature request though:
if you pile up enough bodies the spikes stop killing you, this would only work on noob mode anyway since otherwise you could never pile enough bodies up.
pic related, i might just suck at walljumping but this seems impossible:

In all seriousness, it does look amazing and I'm still going to either a) try building form source or b) find a windows machine....
More from me later....
It was too hard for me to get very far though.

- Long walljumping is difficult in this game, because you have to hit the keys in exactly the right order. Some room for slop here would have made it a lot more pleasant. Almost all of my deaths were failed walljumps.
- One of the nice things about Super Meat Boy is that the levels are deterministic and you always respawn in the same state (i.e. with the same angle for swinging blades and same timers for lasers, etc.). That means you can practice the timing and jumps. I think you could have done the same here; the respawn points always seem to be safe from blades and lasers and stuff.
- I like the seed mechanic and its limitations, but I felt like I only used them in the obvious spots and there were always more than I needed. I would have liked some opportunities for clever seeding, or some reward for fewest seeds used, or something. You never used the mechanic of having to shoot a seed to grow through a wall early in the level, ahead of getting to a corridor that's too narrow to seed from within! I was expecting that...
- There appears to be a bug where if you shoot a seed into the ceiling at an extreme angle, it grows horizontally. Might be true for other surfaces too.
- The game is pretty tiny, though the graphics are excellent. I would have liked a 2x pixel mode!
- Should have thumping techno soundtrack!
Congrats, I think this is a contender. :)
less insanely high movement speed, and the fact that seeds actually reset after dying(perhaps up to last checkpoint), because you can get yourself locked as of right now
This game is a lot of fun and it's very satisfying to work through!
Also is it just me or is the walljumping not very responsive?
Un grand bravo. Ce jeu est une pure merveille, meme si il est franchement difficile. J'en ai encore mal au doigts :p
