Maybe add a jump, some platforming challenges or something, Otherwise it really just turns into \"Hold right or left till you get to the top of the hill.\"","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Chipmonkey","author_uid":"1006038","time":"2017-12-05T14:01:31Z","epoch":1512482491,"modified":1512482491,"text":"![rockgod.png](\/\/\/raw\/697\/1\/z\/d796.png)\n\nI am rock god!\n\nLooks good for a first pass at unity! It did seem I was able to get up the hill still with a large amount of rocks (I think that image had me carrying ~100 rocks). I had to get lucky though as if rocks hit me while I was trying to climb up they would push me back down.\n\nHope you keep with unity!

It's a very bare bones game though, and hopefully my entry to next ludum dare will be much better than even my LD39 game!\n\nAlso thanks for understanding that this was more of a learning exercise! \n\n ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hippunk","author_uid":"1051746","time":"2017-12-06T12:38:27Z","epoch":1512563907,"modified":1512563907,"text":"It totally fits the theme whit a nice use of mythology ! \nGreat work !","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/63098-607136355edae86cbb4018ce215dd8fc.png"],"links":[],"metadata":{"g_key":"42345","g_author":"1032474","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"240042","g_title":"Sophos","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"63098","g_hide":"Y","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"63098","n_urlkey":"240042","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/sophos","n_slug":"sophos","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"32474","n_created":"1512254158","n_modified":"1512362352","n_version":"176999","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":63098,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":32474,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2017-12-04T04:28:10Z","created":"2017-12-02T22:35:58Z","modified":"2017-12-04T04:39:12Z","version":176999,"slug":"sophos","name":"Sophos","body":"software used: -Unity -MonoDevelop -Audacity -Garageband -paint -paint.net\n \nSophos is a 2d ...Platformer? ..collectothon type thing?
