The secret of Atlantis by robolee

[raw]
made by robolee for LD19 (COMPO)
Forgot to include readme, Controls (same as cave story):
arrow keys (left and right) to move
arrow keys (up and down) to aim
down key to enter a "door"
z to shoot
x to jump/swim up&down

sorry it's still not up to par, I could only get my friend to help by making one map (guess which one, hint: the good one), I started coding quite late (again), and only coded shooting and animation stuff then my friend went to play a game so I gave up and bought super meat boy and played that instead.

next time: low res so that I can actually make something decent in the time limit, spent way too long on sprites and stuff and didn't even have time for putting any music in (even though I had the capability). Also go with tiled content rather than high detail maps, firstly I'm rubbish at high detail maps and can only do small sprite work and secondly it would take waay less time, even though at the time I thought it would be easier since I could just "whip it up in photoshop" to put it in the words that went through my mind.

My friend has shown interest in this so it might develop further.

Damn there was a memory leak with loading new maps (silly mistake, wasn't destroying old maps, never really checked memory usage until a few moments ago :P). Fixed... maybe? I don't know if the download links update.

Updated for the jam version, for the LD(compo) version there is no change. LD version controls: shooting and arrow keys are all movement and space to to enter doors. Source is for LD version.

It seems to me that all you do is walk in one door and discover a sketchy looking Atlantis? Are you sure you uploaded the right version? I didn't even get to see the first screen shot in the actual game, which leads me to think that something is wrong.

Nice game, but too bad the LD version has not that much gameplay! Nevertheless nice engine and too bad you seemed to not have enough time to use it ;D (At least that is always my problem) ;D

Looks very interesting but there is just no game there yet.

Am I missing something? I start out falling, land on the sea floor, and there's what appears to be a cave or door. Pressing down in front of the door does nothing, and Z and X do nothing. All I can do is run and swim, while some fish follow me.
Can't really rate this one, because I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do.
