This is War by Florent Juch

[raw]
made by Florent Juch for LD32 (COMPO)
The game is inspired by "Full Metal Jacket". The idea was to mix message and gameplay.
Indeed, this is the brainwashing which allows this soldier to go forward. Netherveless, go forward doesn't mean blossom. This game is the story of a madness birth.

Move : Left/Right arrows
Jump : Up arrow
Actions : 1/& 2/é 3/"
Restart the level : 6/-

Intresting idea. But that jump seriously needs to be fixed... Right now It eats up the jump input way too often making it so frustrating to try to progress

Very well-made game! I just loved the mood. Why did you went to Jam? Are some assets not yours or this game was made by a team?

I had some difficulties to move / use the gun at first. Maybe playability could be tuned a bit more. Music and game atmosphere are good. I played it until the end with pleasure. Good game!

That's a mistake, I posted it in the bad category. It's not a jam game but a solo one. (I tweeted Mike to change it)

Movement feels clunky at first, but once i got past that, the game had a great mood and kept me enaged. Good work :)

Cool game with awesome mood! I loved the graphics, the sound and the gun shooting "text" felt awesome!

The only issue I had was that the jumping caused a lot of problems for me.

Great game and good luck! :)

Interesting game with good mood. Movement felt a bit too slow for my taste.

I really loved this game. The jumping was a bit awkward, and the game lagged quite a lot on my laptop, but otherwise I thought the game was great. The graphics are simple, yet effective, and the message is strong. :)

Hey. I think you have a decent concept here. I don't think i have ever played a game that let's you create your platform on the fly. I think that's a gold idea!!! The words were an interesting choice :D... Conflict...

Nice Graphics and Audio but there's no real gameplay.

A very solid entry. Sound effects were cool, the art is good. The slightly surrealistic "glitch" effects were really cool. I also liked the story.

The controls for this game were very hard to use, and I'm not sure 'I got it'. But the art was well done and I feel that the message works if you understand what you're try to say.

Wow! Very cool! Very cohesive visuals and audio, and an innovative game mechanic. Loved the mood. Gameplay could have been a bit more diverse (maybe use the mechanic for more than just getting over gaps / obstacles?)

I'm down on my knees. Awesome entry, awesome glitches, awesome music, awesome artstyle, awesome message...

Great mood! Loved the art and sound!
It's a pretty cool theme but I felt a bit lack of gameplay.
Also the controls felt a bit stiff.
Anyway great work!

Music, graphics, sound and mood are very well combined here. Really nice pixel art! No doubt this is an unconventional weapon. I really like the simple approach and your message here.

As mentioned in the other comments, the code for jumping should be altered.

Good job! Keep it up!

Well, this was an...interesting game :D To be honest I got quickly bored, but I guess you can't expect too much from a compo entry. Anyway, it had a good mood at least and those effects at the end were nice :)

Excellent mood for this, and I loved the idea behind it. Could of made it so you could only have one action on screen at a time though.

Interesting... Some of the collision was a bit off and the controls weren't great, but nice mood.

Mood is awesome. Good music. Good sense and aftertaste.
First hole is very hard, I died soo many times. But after that, all others is very easy.

Thanks for all comments ! Sorry about collision and jump problems, I didn't have the time to fix it perfectly.

Nice idea, just the controls are a bit annoying
