Wow! This is my Ludum Dare 50 game. It's called Try to Die of Old Age. In this game your goal is to try to Die of Old Age (as the title suggests (hopefully)). You move around with WASD and jump with SPACE. You can also jump down if you press SPACE and S at the same time. Oh, and also use SPACE to advance the dialogue.
If you can't beat the final level then u need to git gud.(or just check out the walkthrough video, but that doesn't contain the super secret special ending message)
The full game and all of the assets (except for teh font, that's just the default font in LibGDX) was made by me in a very short amount of time ((Less that 48 hours) including a fairly large amount of procrastination). I'm now tired of making the game, so I shall publish it and move on with my life instead of polishing it (in case you were wondering why the game is so unpolished).
The game was made using LibGDX. I used ProCreate to draw stuff. I used Logic Pro X to make the music and record the voice acting. You can listen to the soundtrack on my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/dennismagnusson/sets/ttdooa-soundtrack

@ath-ai lol, please don't lower that grade when you realize how bad the sound effects are.
I had fun playing the game, would have loved to seen the more later cut scenes but I guess I just need to git gud!
The player movements are a bit zippy and take some getting used to but appart from that it's pretty fun :)
Good job !
Very nice everything though even the rectangle was masterfully created.
Might come back and see if I can't finish it later--good job!
Loved the game, pretty funny. I'd make the audio stop if someone runs through the dialog, because now the audio just stacks on top of each other.
But cool submission, liked it!
