Lady Save Yourself!!! by joekinley

made by joekinley for LD20 (COMPO)

So this is my game. Whew what a fight.

This is a nice little platformer where you play a lady in red who wants to find her home. Jump the platforms to find the home and try to avoid the dangerous spikes.

This game has sounds and also a little music. Whoop.

But wait, a robe guy is following you. You better hurry to get away of him. But prepare yourself for a nifty surprise if he manages to get you.

Steer with cursor keys.
A - Shoot
Q - Restart Level
ESC - Go back to menu or exit at menu
RETURN - To choose a menu item off the list
F1 - Music ON/OFF

the keys didn't work for me except for the arrow keys and p for pause (i'm on a mac, snow leopard). therefore there was no gun i could use :P
also, very 'jumpy' i'd say, as the controls were kinda hard: the jump is hard to control, and i was constantly hitting the spikes.
the music is very nice though

I liked the music and the background graphic. Jumping up goes too fast. Sometimes the only ways up were through spikes.

Very nice, moody atmosphere and music.

The overall control handling made it difficult to play.

Well, the game looks ambitious. However the controls seem to completely break any fun. The player sometimes jumps low, sometimes very high. It makes the player nearly uncontrollable in a sane way.

It's hard for me to judge the game in most of it's aspects; the graphics for me didn't look anything like the screenshot, and there were lots of clipping errors and such (possibly a PPC vs Intel mac issue?), also, everything moved very fast, and my character sometimes seemed to disappear from one place and appear at the destination. I'll try playing it again on another machine, but in the mean time what I *can* say is that I did like the music very much. Very atmospheric.
