About

Cell souls is a platformer made by one programmer, one artist and one musician. Unfortunately we sort of let the theme slip past us. Oh well, it’s just one voting category right? It was originally going to be a metroidvania game but I’m not sure how much it resembles one. Anyway… hit that download, make sure to read the little note thingy though. When you’ve got your download going feel free to read our personal notes on the game.

Note: if it crashes, please send me the log file it will give you and what OS you are using. The JAR should work on all platforms (fat chance), you’ll need Java 1.8+ though. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oJ2zM7LNES-rUGzX9-07d6JP2adnrf2N

Llew Vallis’s note

This game’s code is about as stable as an upside-down freight train balancing on a unicycle. This is mostly because the game was built on a game engine I wrote from scratch about a year ago. I certainly had to take a hammer to the engine in order coerce it into running the game. My favorite feature of the engine has to be the log file it will send you when it crashes - please send me that log when it crashes, by the way. That said, I am fairly happy with what we ended up with programming wise, all things considered. Unfortunately we didn’t incorporate the theme - it sort of just slipped past us which is most certainly going to hurt our ratings.

Hatokasai’s note

I started this jam on little sleep, and I ended the jam with even less. The animations in the game weren’t finished, which you can blame on my lack of experience. The weeks leading up to the jam included trying to clabber a team together, and working on some base sprites so the jam would be easier to complete (Which didn’t help as much as I thought, seeing that I didn’t complete all the animations.) We ended up with a programmer, a musician and a system admin, as well as me doing the art for the project.

I really hope that you enjoy the game! The sacrifice is your time playing this game ;)
