Some really funny parts too!  There were a lot of nice touches that made it feel good to play (the way you could advance through dialogue faster, the lights highlighting where the bullets are spawning from, etc.).  One suggestion is that I think the player should have faster stopping speed.  This was especially noticeable when trying to drop to a lower floor.  It wasn't 'hard', but it could have been easier to make things feel smoother, if that makes sense!

Graphics on the cut scenes are very nice. Audio is super good. Not my favorite kind of gameplay, but I had fun as much as it lasted. Controls felt generally snappy, but there was one point, when staying on the top platforms, when I wanted to jump only one level down (to land near the edge of a mid-level platform), I often ended up right to the bottom level. Finally, strange to say, but it's one most geriatric games I ever played!

I noticed that the bullets didn't rotate to face the direction they were going, and the slippery but sensitive movement caused some frustration, but those are really just polish things. I had a lot of fun and the three-level gameplay honestly reminded me of the Muffet fight from Undertale. On my second playthrough I think I found a god-tier strat of standing on the top platform and jumping over all the bullets. It doesn't work for the lasers but absolutely cheeses the first two levels. Also I realized if you go too fast for the dialogue all of the voice lines play together and it sounds very chaotic XD.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":833050,"author_name":"lilkrit","author_uid":"lilkrit","epoch":1650287247,"text":"You made me laugh with every dialogue line.

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).\n\nThe 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","title":"Try to Die of Old Age","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/278501+278502+278503+278504+278505+278506+278507+278508+278509+278510+278511+278512+278513+278514+278515+278516+278517+278518+278519+278520+278521+278522+278523+278524+278525+278526+278527+278528+278529+278530+278531+278532+278533+278534+278535+278536+278537+278538+278539+278540+278541+278542+278543+278544+278545+278546+278547+278548+278549+278550+278551+278552+278553+278554+278555+278556+278557+278558+278559+278560+278561+278562+278563+278564+278565+278566+278567+278568+278569+278570+278571+278572+278573+278574+278575+278576+278577+278578+278579+278580+278581+278582+278583+278584+278585+278586+278587+278588+278589+278590+278591+278592+278593+278594+278595+278596+278597+278598+278599+278600+278601+278602+278603+278604+278605+278606+278607+278608+278609+278610+278611+278612+278613+278614+278615+278616+278617+278618+278619+278620+278621+278622+278623+278624+278625+278626+278627+278628+278629+278630+278631+278632+278633+278634+278635+278636+278637+278638+278639+278640+278641+278642+278643+278644+278645+278646+278647+278648+278649+278650+278651+278652+278653+278654+278655+278656+278657+278658+278659+278660+278661+278662+278663+278664+278665+278666+278667+278668+278669+278670+278671+278672+278673+278674+278675+278676+278677+278678+278679+278680+278681+278682+278683+278684+278685+278686+278687+278688+278689+278690+278691+278692+278693+278694+278695+278696+278697+278698+278699+278700+278701+278702+278703+278704+278705+278706+278707+278708+278709+278710+278711+278712+278713+278714+278715+278716+278717+278718+278719+278720+278721+278722+278723+278724+278725+278726+278727+278728+278729+278730+278731+278732+278733+278734+278735+278736+278737+278738+278739+278740+278741+278742+278743+278744+278745+278746+278747+278748+278749+278750+278751+278752+278753+278754+278755+278756+278757+278758+278759+278760+278761+278762+278763+278764+278765+278766+278767+278768+278769+278770+278771+278772+278773+278774+278775+278776+278777+278778+278779+278780+278781+278782+278783+278784+278785+278786+278787+278788+278789+278790+278791+278792+278793+278794+278795+278796+278797+278798+278799+278800+278801+278802+278803+278804+278805+278806+278807+278808+278809+278810+278811+278812+278813+278814+278815+278816+278817+278818+278819+278820+278821+278822+278823+278824+278825+278826+278827+278828+278829+278830+278831+278832+278833+278834+278835+278836+278837+278838+278839+278840+278841+278842+278843+278844+278845+278846+278847+278848+278849+278850+278851+278852+278853+278854+278855+278856+278857+278858+278859+278860+278861+278862+278863+278864+278865+278866+278867+278868+278869+278870+278871+278872+278873+278874+278875+278876+278877+278878+278879+278880+278881+278882+278883+278884+278885+278886+278887+278888+278889+278890+278891+278892+278893+278894+278895+278896+278897+278898+278899+278900+278901+278902+278903+278904+278905+278906+278907+278908+278909+278910+278911+278912+278913+278914+278915+278916+278917+278918+278919+278920+278921+278922+278923+278924+278925+278926+278927+278928+278929+278930+278931+278932+278933+278934+278935+278936+278937+278938+278939+278940+278941+278942+278943+278944+278945+278946+278947+278948+278949+278950+278951+278952+278953+278954+278955+278956+278957+278958+278959+278960+278961+278962+278963+278964+278965+278966+278967+278968+278969+278970+278971+278972+278973+278974+278975+278976+278977+278978+278979+278980+278981+278982+278983+278984+278985+278986+278987+278988+278989+278990+278991+278992+278993+278994+278995+278996+278997+278998+278999+279000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/82\/829d05556d0b73630002d376895b067da1b9bb92d792538a30f6c645120214c2","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/42222010c9dd5056a6c8bb357f5ae04d8dee6d7d1f9d3b485f1d5164c0296eed.json","sha256":"829d05556d0b73630002d376895b067da1b9bb92d792538a30f6c645120214c2","source":"https","stored_at":1784022385}}
