Crate Chaos by TaliOS
Welcome to Crate Chaos, my entry for the Ludum Dare 42.
It's basically a puzzle platformer where you need to bring the golden crate back to the exit of the level. In order to do that, you will need to grab and push other crates to make a path all the way to the exit. But be warned that this game is pretty hard, especially starting the 4th level, and it will try to kick your butt by making rain crates on your character (and also by using totally not glitches but features) >:D
(Don't worry about the different sound effects in level 2. I changed them like 5 times in Unity but for some reason they always came back... I have no idea why...)
There are 6 levels + 1 "hidden" level (its entrance is pretty obvious but it's not easy to get to it). Have fun, and don't hesitate to give me feedback !

I played it several times :) It's a hook.
@sdrrv Thanks a lot !
@justinsix Thanks a lot !
@fryderider Thanks a lot ! And woah how can you love so much my pixel art ? I thought this was impossible !
@falk-bruskeland Thanks a lot ! I was afraid I made it a bit difficult though !
@randdir Thanks a lot ! It gets very confusing really fast indeed !
@andreadbx Thanks a lot ! I'll make more levels in the future if I can find new gameplays twists, because right now I feel I have exploited the idea as much as I could ! (Although that may be because I need some serious rest right now)
@call-me-nutty Thanks a lot ! I'm glad I succeeded to provide at least some fun ! For the control scheme, I wanted to play it safe as I don't know all the button locations for keyboard, so I went for some classic space bar and shift / crtl. But I agree that it is definitely something I should rework.
@hakro Thanks a lot !
The crates that spawn can sometime make the puzzle impossible, but it still fun to try to get the hell out xD
Great job!
