If you dont know how to draw good tiles\/characters, try to either draw them very lowrez (like 4x4 or 8x8) or just use a solid colors, that would look much better."},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1408980120,"text":"Hi there.

It was still easy to adapt to the controls, and I managed to beat the game cleanly. Some of the colors you chose for the foreground\/background have too little contrast, making the platforms too hard to see. The premise of this game is rather interesting, and I like the sprites. The level design is good, and I enjoyed the game."}],"images":["ld30\/38572-8ab7aec598efae2e8be9ea77aa1b34d3.jpg","ld30\/38572-bb1fced8d022df1620eee3ecead552b3.jpg","ld30\/38572-e576f7c624068f60783737440c806bcd.jpg","ld30\/38572-4b7a6156a987e77e14275cc91c3ab55b.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/meow.shn-host.ru\/upload\/ld30_1.1.swf","text":"Web (Flash)"},{"url":"https:\/\/yadi.sk\/d\/hXvmSOsHaMBsw","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17824","g_author":"38572","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"17853","g_title":"Constellation","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1141","g_commentcount":"35","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\/38572-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/38572-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/38572-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/38572-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Game made with: Stencyl 3.1 \r\nGraphics: Inkscape, Paint, Infinite Painter\r\nSound: Sfxr\r\n\r\nNote about Source Code: This is a zip file, containing a game, exported from Stencyl. It can be opened as common archive. To open with Stencyl, change an extention to \".stencyl\". \r\n\r\n\r\nGame: Arrows to move, Z and X to shoot. It is important, what wearpon to use in what case. \r\n\r\n=====More detailed instructions====\r\n(similar instructions are provided in-game, but there can be some typos).\r\n\r\nThere are two types of levels - \"Destroy connection\" and \"Restore connection\". On \"Destroy connection\" level you need to kill all spirits (they can be killed with Enegry gun (Z). and destroy portal (also with Energy). On \"Restore connection\" level you need to gather all parts of portal and then bring them to its base. \r\n\r\nThere are two types of wearpons: Z-gun kills spirits and paralyzes people, X-gun does no harm to spirits and kills people. \r\n\r\nThe controls can be not very polished, but the game definitely can be finished. It has 4 levels, and the ending is a bit different, if you finish it without killing intelligent beings. \r\n\r\n=======\r\n\r\nThanks to all people who play, rate and give comments!
