Vicious Trap by Cuniculator

[raw]
made by Cuniculator for LD31 (COMPO)
Vicious Trap is a fairly simple game (and everything but easy!!!) I've developed in the first Ludum Dare I participated in. You're trapped inside a box that has some weired gravity where you'll have to dodge the spikes to survive. How long can you survive? Make sure to post your highscores down below! (Mine was only 14 ._.)

Tools used in the making of this game:
- Gamemaker 8.0 Pro (making the game)
- Adobe Photoshop (artwork)
- Sfxr (sounds)

Update (8-12-2014):
- Fixed loading screen text
- Added zip file download

Fits the theme very well - and it is extremely addictive. Nice work :)

Addicting, but it can be a bit too hard to predict where you'll land sometimes. I guess figuring it out is meant to be part of the challenge.

Gameplay is really addictive. But I'm not sure that generator makes every spike in possible positions.

Seemed kind of impossible at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty fun. I got to 7 or something, haha.

Fun, but VERY hard (I think my high score is 7)

Basic, but fun! I just wish it was a bit easier to tell where I might land; jumping around a corner is a bit odd, tend to land right on the spikes. :p

Fun concept, although sometimes two or three spikes are right next to each other and impossible to jump over. =(

A little tip: if you double tap the jump button quickly you'll jump exactly far enough for 2 spikes, when you land you can double jump over the 3 spikes again ;)

The player is sooooo cuuute~
Its very difficult and it took me a little to get used to the way the physics works thought.
Well done!

It's a simple concept and it's been seen before, but I find this one very nicely implemented. I like the physics effect when you jump over the corners. The animations are awesome and the blood effect when you die makes it all even better. :D
Great job!

Side switching seems to be random sometimes, depending on if you are jumping (I think it's not).
Interesting idea.

Fun arcade style game!

Unfortunately when you get to a two-spike or three-spike swath, you're screwed. Otherwise, a good concept.
