The intro was very good, and the platforming provided a little challenge without being tedious. The controls were pretty stiff though, and there are a few bugs (the first time I played through I got stuck in a floor after leaving the first room). I also entered the first cave from the back and then climbed my way down, because I had jumped up to the exit from the top of the boxes, thinking it was the next area? Good character building despite such a short time with them."},{"author_name":"sharpcoder","author_uid":"32080","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:31am","epoch":1408947960,"text":"Nice job.

I don't understand how you pulled that off in a 48h jam. Your game is original and immediatly get me into the dialogues (which I usually skip). Falling from the sky is a very good intro for a game :) Characters who carry each other is fun two, without speaking of both set of skills. The story is very appealing and I want to continue my adventure. Gamepad control is a very nice plus. And finally the level design, without being perfect, is really good and challenging (86 deaths to reach the end). Congrats!\r\rA few notes\/details for a possible future update : 1.Some platforms seem reachable by normal jump and in reality I actually miss them and had to use double jump. 2.The dialogue box shouldn't disappear each time a different character speak, that not convenient to read. 3. Laser turret's are just insane! 4.The button which has to be pressed using double jump star ... that's very tricky. I almost quit by despair right before I find out by pure hazard. 5. The rope should be took automatically, without having to press up (too me)"},{"author_name":"Fazz","author_uid":"4894","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 11:39pm","epoch":1409182440,"text":"This is an impressive amount of work for 48 hours, well done.

I think I died like 58 times trying to get to the end ._. This is amazingly complete for a compo game. I really liked the ongoing dialogue, though I feel like in a post-compo version you might want to clean up the plotline a little (as the ending feels a little bit sudden, and there's a few passages that are kind of overwritten\/themes that are introduced and then left off). I really wanted to see the city at the end... !\r\rBut hey, those are literally my only complaints. I loved the dual-character control, the difficulty curve is perfect, and it's a really sweet story *_* Thank you for the game!"},{"author_name":"xandy","author_uid":"15304","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 2:53pm","epoch":1409582880,"text":"cool story and mechanics but the controls made me rage quit a few times :("}],"images":["ld30\/3595-e2a42801430f585b1497586cba6d1dcd.jpg","ld30\/3595-e77731a64e40632467b5b93d35aa38d3.jpg","ld30\/3595-4c4d436562ab6cfadbea290f4aec8514.jpg","ld30\/3595-fe1450874fdfb18be6b2bf58fe66f43d.jpg","ld30\/3595-69106326e72fbf757d1923c479714453.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/8zoe8y0dlkso7wmyqdpg","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/2zxneq5cefyvk1d0p8ak","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"16145","g_author":"3595","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"16175","g_title":"Bond","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"42","g_commentcount":"30","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\/\/375043\/3595-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/3595-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/3595-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/3595-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/3595-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my LD30 submission.\r\n\r\nBond is a game about a boy from the slums and a girl from the sky.

The game supports both Xbox and Playstation controllers, natively\r\n2. If your computer does not have an up to date version of DirectX, your game will error\r\n on launch. You can ignore this and continue, but you will not be able to use your controller.\r\n\r\n \r\nEnjoy the game!\r\n\r\nChris Klassen\r\n\r\n\r\nUPDATE 1.1: Fixed a bug that was preventing the opening dialogue from being initiated.","title":"Bond"}
