The Unstable Catventure by XSchaumiX
In a World where people tend to be mentally unstable cats are the only hope of keeping everyone sane. But an evil Villain is walking from house to house to steel those loved pets. Until one day a hero decided to strike back...
The game was created for Ludum Dare 49 with the Theme 'Unstable'. Our Team is composed by Nicolas (@Nickel), Daphne(@dieFrege) and myself (@XSchaumiX). We went for a 2D Jump'n Run with an mentally unstable super hero as a main character. This was our first GameJam. We used Audio from external resources.
As I said before you play as a mentally unstable super Hero who is out for revenge. You have to use your powers (Double Jump, Forward Dash, Fireballs) to complete the levels and to find the Evil Villain who stole all your cats. But make sure to watch out for your mental state. The less mental health you have the more unstable your powers become. Collect cats on the way to regain some of your mental Health. Reach the evil Villain and punch him to complete a Level.

Thanks for the web version! Took me a few seconds to figure out what "alpha1" and "alpha2" supposed to mean :smile:
There is something wonky with colliders when you bump sideways into an obstacle, but aside from that - quite cool platformer!
I like the story and nice touch for adding introduction and end game cinematics for a game jam!
The platformer is simple but efficient, it took me some time to figure out why my abilities were unavailable sometimes, I like fact that it is linked to our mental health but I think it needs a better feedback.
My biggest complaint is that collisions are a bit rough.
I liked your approach with level design, providing multiple viable path to the player. I also liked how you introduced new level design bricks through the game. The level art changing through the game was a nice touch too and gave a good feeling of progression (same for the music).
The punch animation at the end was rewarding!
Well done and thank you for your game!
You should use another font, more readable. Also add space bar to jump, it makes the character easier to control. The walk animation is too slow compare to the speed of the character, it looks like the character is sliding on ice.
Well done !
Had an issue the first time i started the game. For some reason no input was detected no matter what buttons i pressed. But the second time around it worked perfectly.
Good Game!
Great job! :)
I really enjoyed it... but not as much as your intro. Boy do I love it... the vilain just cracks me up with is nike smile
Anyway, it's a very nice platformer. Good job on your submission
@eptwalabha Thank you so much for your review. The Intro and the ending are my best parts too. @dieFrege did a great Job there.
