The Collapse by Cratthew

[raw]
made by Cratthew for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

The Collapse is a game short about defeating bosses in a constantly decaying environment. The game features 3 bosses and an endless mode. Try to beat my highscore of 10 bosses downed in endless!

This was my first game jam that I've actually completed. I had a ton of fun, and can't wait to hear feedback!

Thanks in advance for playing my game.

Fun little game, struggled killing the bosses but I'm just moving way too much causing the platform to collapse!

Also congratulations on finishing your first game jam! Solid entry for your first entry

That was fun! The last level was brutal though.

Jumping on the platforms that are falling is already difficult, getting hit with boulders that you cant see makes it really frustrating. I think the game would benefit from some warning indicators showing where the boulders are going to appear.

Great job on your first jam

A bit hard to control but was pretty fun. Kind of wish the shift speed was just the default speed. Good job!

I really dig the enemy design! I think the programmer are adds to it, haha.
However, there's an overabundance of cheap hits on the final stage - I keep getting hit by the boulders without any clear indication on where they fall. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent game :D

Cool first entry! I died sometimes without really knowing why, and at first I didn't know I had to jump on the portal after killing the first boss. Nice music too. :smile:
Great job!

The idea is good, and I overall had fun trying it. It was a bit too difficult for me, and only got too level two.

It would be great mobile game to kill some spare time! Graphics are totally cute and I love the art. This is like ideal MVP. I would like to play more levels!

All in all, an incredibly solid first jam! The music loop can get a little repetitive without more variation, though.

I think my biggest criticism is that you've opted to make any damage at all a restart. That's nice and all, but for any of the levels that involve more vertical movement, the falling rocks become an unfair and unlucky death sentence as you don't have enough time to react to them on the way up. I think this particular aspect needs more fine tuning, maybe a replacement with rocks blowing in the wind or something along those lines to replace the falling ones on vertical stages. Otherwise, I thought the level progression was neat, especially with the stage where you end up on lots of falling platforms.

Nice work!
