LedgeFall

Cover.png

LedgeFall is a twitchy arcade action-platformer where your goal is to go deeper.

Exactly how deep?

Deeper than you went last time.

Crazy powerups, torso-sized gems, hordes of enemies and more, await.

Controls

WASD/ Arrow Keys: Move

J/ X/ Space Bar : Jump

About

Go deeper into the well and beat your own best scores. Charon will block your path if you carry gems with you, but if you carry more than 5, you can exchange them for powerups, such as-

Double Jump (Allows you one extra jump in air or after stomping enemies)

Low Gravity (Lowers the effect of gravity, allowing you higher jumps and more air control)

Extra Speed (Increases the speed of your actions such as movement and jumping)

Charon's Obol (Ensures that Charon won't show up on your next run, allowing you to carry gems over to the run after, giving you a higher chance of exchanging for a powerup)

Update

v0.2 - Reduced the game's difficulty by lowering the number of gems required to access power-ups. Fixed an issue where the game would crash on the main menu in subsequent play throughs due to XML Parsing error on some systems.

Cool game! But a little bit more atmosphere would make it more interesting.

What a difficult game!!! But it's really cool, the gameplay loop works well, the art and music are very good, I really liked the sfx too.

Bom trabalho Marcelo!

Very cool game. Challenging and rewarding. I got 12 diamonds, I'll be playing again to get more. The music and the sfx were very good! I suggest not restarting the music whenever the game restarts. It gets a little tiring. Excellent game, congratulations!

Nice game! Loved the graphics and sounds!

I wish I was skilled enought to listen to the full song XD -that's what keeps me moving.

Charon is such a prick too!

Excelent job!

Very cool concept, the learning curve was a bit harsh, also not instantly obvious that you can jump on the bats (I spent the first 10 runs trying to avoid them), but all in all really well polished, good job!

Graphics and sound suit very well to the game. I would have liked a small explanation at the start as I wasn't obvious how to deal with the bats. I had to read another comment to learn that I could kill them by jumping on them. After that, the game was quite enjoyable. Good job :smile:

What a difficult little game. It got on my nerves before I could go deeper. The music sounds good but I wasn't able to go further to apreciate it more. My suggestion would be not to stop the music and start again every time the character falls down.
