the overall feed of the game is pretty cool. I only wish I wouldn't get stuck in walls. Loved the throwing mechanic

Its a bit annoying how you get stuck on walls.

Pretty cool game. It seems that the rock can get stuck on the walls in such a way that you can't pick it up again.

As has been said, the wall sticking bug was incredibly obnoxious. Also, the first time I accidentally threw my rock outside of the level and after that I was just hosed.

Super fun! I kept throwing the rock over the wall so it took me forever to beat the beefy bat, though the number of times I tried shows how fun it was.

I liked the idea of this game, although it had several issues that made it nearly unplayable:
1) Getting stuck in walls. You can fix this by checking each movement axis (x/y) individually (move the character along the x axis, then check for collisions, if there is a collision move them back to where they were on the x axis, then [regardless of whether or not the x hit something] do the same for the y axis)
2) Not being able to throw up or down (this, with the next issue, made it hard to hit bats)
3) Bats only move towards you in the x direction, then in the y. This made it hard to get around bats that were below or above you.

If you have any more questions (about the getting stuck in walls fix or otherwise) shoot me a message here or on Twitter @WhiteVoidia, I'd love to help.

I like how it looks and moves with exception of the player stopping when he bumps into the wall.

Yeah my character got stuck on walls. Also, many times bats would trap me since you can only throw horizontally. I still enjoyed the game though. Good, simple graphics and mood!

Pretty good :) A bit hard and as many people said, you get stuck in the walls.

Excellent entry for your first LD! A little sticky on the collisions but overall the game has all the ingredients.

Looks like this was the first LD for both of us! Nice game. I had issues with getting stuck in the walls in my game too. My rabbits ears wouldn't behave :P

The attack style is interesting; there are some bugs that make playing somewhat annoying, such as both horizontal & vertical movement stopping when touching a wall. I'd love to see you make a full game out of this!

I kind of liked the slow-paced combat, it was cool that he threw such short distances. Collision boxes seemed way too small though.
Getting stuck in walls sucks. I know it can be hard to fix, but do try next time!

Took me a while to get good enough to kill any bats, and then a while longer to finally beat the beefy bat, but I managed it somehow. Some of the collisions felt a bit off, and the rock would do weird things on occassion, but otherwise it was a good game.
