Hue and Cry by Jezz0r

[raw]
made by Jezz0r for LD33 (COMPO)
Here is my first ever LD entry: Hue and Cry.

An action and puzzle platformer, with dark themes. Children may not understand it, and non-British people might not get some of the references.

Away on holiday for a week now, post mortem when I get back.
If people really like it I will make Linux and Mac versions when I return (please comment asking for this).

Note that the .exe will probably give you warnings, if you can't get past them try the installer instead.

I wasn't able to start the EXE on windows 8.1 pro. Could have been security related; not sure. Ran the installer, that worked fine.

Wasn't sure how well it fit the theme.

Nice game.
Some levels were too difficult, but I enjoyed playing.
Music sounds nice too.

Beautiful and atmospheric. I dig the idea for the theme and this 4th wall breaking, gamemechanics twist.

Nice work on graphics / audio and the overall mood. The weather effects are very nice. However there is some unbalance as at time it is very difficult to avoid the enemy. Theme wise, other than the reference that the player is a murderer there isn't much else going on. Perhaps you spent a lot of time on arts/audio rather than gameplay.

Reminds me of Titus the Fox, I really missed throwing objects :-D
The level with long bush at beginning shouldn't start so instant in action. I'd add some meters before "QTE" start :-)

Could not make it past the level with the trash dumpster. I guess you're supposed to move it to be able to jump the gap, but how?

Also, it is annoying that you stop in mid-air when you jump...

Awesome.

That stage in the middle, with the two guys and the bin was really difficult. Once I passed that the rest of the game was really easy.

It was fun, but the theme kinda promised more.
I wanted to what had happened.
Maybe I just missed something?

The ending was expected(given the theme), but still kind of works. Aside from difficulty(level design), I would suggest to try to sync animation and movement speed it almost seems like the character is surfing through.

Very well done. Besides mine this is the only game that I found that you are a monster because of something you'v done.

Excellent graphics, and high quality music. I found the ending a little questionable though. Since when was other people running off cliffs or shooting each other considered murder?

Really nice for a compo entry Oo
The last levels were a bit annoying due to the almost instant death. Apart from that really solid puzzle platforming!

Keep up the good work!

Good job Jezz, this game is really annoying/challenging to finish :D
