Keep Charlie Alive by Coolguy6316

[raw]
made by Coolguy6316 for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Charlie has a deadly virus that is slowly draining his health, collect the gems to restore some HP and find the key and finish the level before Charlie's HP reaches 0, you must Keep Charlie Alive!

Controls are:

WASD or Arrow Keys to move or left joystick on a controller

Space to jump or A on an Xbox Controller.

It's shorter then i wanted but it was my first Ludum Dare and i had fun doing it! If you like the game, let me know! !

That was fun! I like the level design, and the controls felt nice :) I really like the camera zoom mechanic when you moved or stood still that was a cool idea! Nice work!

I laughed when I hit an enemy the first time - I didn't expect to go flying like that! I would have preferred a higher difficulty to the levels - but it was fun overall. Good job on your first Ludum Dare!

I thought it was cute and fun! Of course I wanted more but I totally understand it's hard to make a lot of content in a short amount of time! I liked the colorful sprites.

Hey @coolguy6316 , I quite liked your little platformer, and love the assets (Kenny Assets!). These are the same ones I'm using in a little game called Sam Jones Treasure Hunter :) I think the only feedback I have is that the water by default is difficult (maybe I have old man eyes) to see haha but managed to finish it pretty fast after two water deaths :) Great entry!
@bigbadollie , SamJones!

@coolguy6316 Oh don't get me wrong, using existing assets is a perfectly valid and good option to save time. Also, I'm not artist so I generally go in knowing I will be finding art, music and sound assets to use (unless I'm teamed up with an artist!)

Hey, it was a nic little game. The controls felt a bit weird, and I didn't like restarting the whole game after some fails. But congrats on finishing a game!

Also, I had an UI bug, where it was a bit tricky to start the game: ![uibug.png](///raw/05e/81/z/33545.png)

Hey - grats on doing the LDJam! Like I said on stream - the main pitfalls here is that the theme isn't really strong. I can see you put effort into making it seem important - but the thing you're keeping alive is essentially a glorified timer! However, I enjoyed the level design and was good to see a bunch of mechanics implemented.
