Limbs Quest VII by BlueCalx
Ludum Dare 43
Going forward in the game will cost you.
Games end when killing boss.
Thanks for playing :)
UPDATE: Keyboard control (among other things) are broken on the LD version of the game :(. After trying the first version (please rate only this version!) we recommend that you try the fixed 1.1 version which correct this! The experience should be way better!

The concept is nice : it's funny, it fits the theme and increases the difficulty little by little.
I fell out of bounds during my playthrough, and the jump could be improved. Still it's a nice entry, congrats to the team !
Good job :)
The platforming was a bit sloppy : the physics were kinda strange and the way ennemies collide with you can lead to awkward situations (a bat one-shoted me because it "bounced" on me xD). It's also possible to "climb" on a bat and fly away to victoryyyyyyyy ! The bats were also tricky to deal with because the character can only hit sideways, but the are coming from above... Also, it's possible to enter the princess/hell room without talking to the strange man. I did it on my first playthrough and got killed in the hell without understanding what was happening xD.
That was all the bad things I had to say, now the good part : this game is FUN, despite the physics ! The theme is totally respected (as I said, we had the same idea so it's 100% ok for me !), and the "baddish" ending was a very nice twist ! The graphics are also pretty nice. I had a really good time playing your game. Very good job !
But you game is very interesting and the game idea fits very well with the ludum dare 43's theme. Well done, congratulations!
There was a major bug on the LD release that made keyboard controls really bad unfortunately :( For those who wants to try there is the 1.1 version which fixes this very problem (and some others)! If you still have problems with controls on the 1.1, well it means we have still some bug fix to do :D
The gameplay, though, is pretty hard to get past. The physics could be better, the enemies got me locked in a state of bouncing and hurting multiple times until I die, and the jump button doesn't respond very well.
