The Puddle by lonewookie
Controls: Arrow keys, and that's it.
Goal: Escape the puddle labyrinth.
Note: Nothing actually happens when you escape, just know that you have won the game. :)
A simple game, my first for Ludum Dare! You play as a young girl, playing in the puddles on a rainy day, when you discover something extraordinary!
Hint: Stand in the last puddle.
Because of working weekends, I had a limited amount of time to put this together, but it was well worth it. I surprised myself by how much I could create!
I used Phaser (phaser.io), Notepad++, Gimp, MSpaint, and Tiled to create this game. I hope you like it!

I did find a bug where I managed to get stuck in the third puddle at the start, and couldn't get out, but I was unable to replicate it.
Otherwise excellent game, well done. :)
sudden black screen after death scared me the most all the time, the collisions are maybe bit overreaching
The graphics are pleasent.
I think that you have created a good framework for this game, implemnting powerful, yet simple, components.
Perhaps a litte more finetuning on the difficulty and more graphical diversity in the blue-ish background and this game could be even better.
Perhaps even a second level?
Oh yes, and definitly some sound.
I like the game a lot, keep it up!
The swarm of fishes was quite challenging.
The game could really use some effects for when you die. It'd go a long way to making it feel better. Also I couldn't reach the fourth key and I am unsure if there's an end to this. It's pretty funny seeing the guy stuck in the top of the puddle!
I couldn't figure out how to get the last key. The brilliant moment is falling into the last puddle. Could it be interesting to have it be tempting and intriguing to make splashing in the preliminary puddles fun and then shock the player for jumping in the last puddle.
