hellcrossing by Martin Ysa

[raw]
made by Martin Ysa for LD29 (COMPO)
This is you. Imagine that you have not been the best person in the real world and that when you die, do not go to heaven, you're going to hell.

But you still have one last chance, you have the option of escape. You must run, jump, dodge and give the best you have to cross the boiler souls.

Cross the hell, this is it

Good Luck!

*) 1st person runner simulator.
*) Fast action game, need reflexes. (Is hard sometimes)
*) Minimalistic art.
*) Procedural Graphics & Level Design

It's my first game in LD. Let me know your thoughts.

This action game is very good. I run, I dodge, I have fun.
PS: Why don't you make different levels of hardness?

Nicely composed music - fits the game really well. I found the length of the jump mirrored the length of the platforms a bit too closely. Very, very hard game! :) But very cool. How about pulsing some of the visuals in response to the music? Would be a nice effect.

Music was cool, and I like the art style, although the jumping distance just didn't feel right, which makes the game incredibly hard.

Love the audio!

Pretty cool, stylistic and challenging. The jump could really use variety in force by input strength/amount (longer press = higher jump) or else it's very difficult with the stock jump distance. Relevance to the theme is also a little loose.

No variable jumping? :( Otherwise, cool game.

You weren't kidding when you wrote that it can be hard! The gameplay is solid and the presentation is excellent. Some music could really help add to the ambience. Oh and it would be nice to have an option of using the arrow keys instead of A/D too.

The jump is a little bit too far, requries more luck than skill, since I dont know when to jump many times because I will just fall into the next gap. I enjoy the music. Something happening in the background would be neat too.

Great game, really good music. Played few times. It's really hard - my highscore was 9. :P I'm sure that I'll play it later again.

Good minimalist design and sound but becomes quickly repetitive.

Really, I went here watching your video on youtube lol. I dislike a bit runners BUT this one is fun and a bit addictive, graphics are simple, and that fits perfects, graphics, sounds and music makes a good feeling when playing. You may make more levels!

Definitely make the jumping scalable so the jump height isn't fixed.
Nice first ld entry, good job.

I died too many times on my first jump -> frustration and ragequit. I liked the concept a lot, reminded me of the old classic SkyRoads.

It's nice how the jump sound complements the music.

"You must find your inner jump ... :)" ... you should really avoid jumping when the gaps are small.

Lack of variable jumping and properly timed gaps really ruins this.

Love the minimalist approach. Enjoyed the audio. Jumping could use some improvement though. I think the game would really shine with variable jumping. Nice work.

Nice art and catchy tune, good job

I think having more control on the jumps would make the game more enjoyable. As it is, I feel like doing a hail mary pass each time I press the jump button

Hi. Not rated yet just leaving comment. Unity Web Player starts but get error "failed to download data file" displayed just under progress bar. Have retried a couple of times. Chrome/W7.

Try to uninstall unity web player and then reinstall again. Must work

Really cool design, but very hard. I wish there were more space between the jumps. And few bugs make this less playable, sometimes you jump like 3 times higher than you should. But it has some style and the gameplay is nice overall. I believe it could be a great and addictive game if you improve it a little.

Really cool game. Used to Super Hexagon it wasn't that hard, but that was just an expectations-reality thing.
At the beginning I was trying to jump the tiny gaps and the jump felt mis measured.

Very cool! Visuals and music were a lot of fun. Well done!

I think its a cool game but the jump mechanic could need some more work. Quite often I found myself jumping over an entire platform and landing inbetween that and the next one.

Pretty cool, I like the music a lot.

Nice audio. The game kind of depends on luck sometimes.

Cool music and nice minimalist graphics. The gameplay is quite hard to me.
I like that you use this running effect (left-right shaking) but I wish it would come with actually seeing the feets because it makes the controls a bit confusing IMHO.

It has a great vibe, but it is a bit hard.

strange idea, I like it reminding me with a very old game played on DOS called sky I used to love it
