This has the potential to be a serviceable endless runner game given a bit more time, so now that you've had the practice your next LD will be even better I'm sure :)\r\rI'm not sure the mechanics match the rest of the game - you're meant to be a big tough stone golem, but you break apart instantly as soon as you graze an obstacle. Having said that, I liked the sound effects and went back to listen to them again when I found out what the sources were.\r\rKeep up the good work!"},{"author_name":"zeid","author_uid":"2030","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 4:21am","epoch":1440908160,"text":"Fun little endless run, a little more liberal hitboxes would be nice.

Game over was a bit radical, and sometimes i think collisions were not really fine, maybe with more precise collision masks (it feels like a square bigger than sprite) and some freeze (not to feel the game cheats with this) before the game over screen could make it more enjoyable and less frustrating :) i only managed to win when the level generated some clear way right until the end ahaha..."}],"images":["ld33\/55548-cc4156145f9616703e1280ba33b30975.jpg","ld33\/55548-2c02a5ab02b3e52a01dd9ec7eafe0b7c.jpg","ld33\/55548-8f4d3d1d033e2af744bd21fee063127f.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/intxparts\/ld33_submission\/releases\/download\/0.0.1\/Golem.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/intxparts\/ld33_submission","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9714","g_author":"55548","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9748","g_title":"Golem","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1062","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55548-shot0-1440459493.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55548-shot1-1440459493.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/55548-shot2-1440459493.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Golem -- A grumpy rock golem disturbed by the noises from the humans living at the base of its mountain decides to charge down to restore peace & quiet.
