LudumData

Warp Runner by Raphy

[raw]
made by Raphy for LD28 (COMPO)
First Ludum Dare ! Hope you guys enjoyed it !

There are 8 levels with walls, ennemies and laser beams at the end ! It's kindda hard to beat the last levels, but you should try it !

You are a prisonner that has decided to escape a futuristic prison. But who cares ?

This is a runner where you only get one button to warp the character ! Space to warp.

I really enjoyed doing it. Thanks for playing !

Cool concept. The controls are so-so, but I liked the idea. Maybe add some warp effect to make it look better?

It reminds me of Velocity Ultra! :D Did you ever played it? :D

the splash screen graphics are great, it would be cool to carry over more of that look into the game - that monochrome look is neat.

Hey thanks for the comments ! Alan I never played VelocityUltra no :)
mcapraro yeah I am satisfied with the graphics (idea came from a pixel art I saw) but actually it took me too much time to make ! If I had to do it again I don't think I would spend as much time on the graphics, but more on the level design.

Interesting art ! It could have been nice to be able to choose in which lane to go.

I like it, though the warping felt pretty laggy at times. Enough to make me run into walls a lot more than I thought I would.

Game mechanic is solid and fun. But I thought I was going to die when hitting the walls. Instead you carry on - so that was a bit underwhelming. Then again, I really wanted this game to be tough tough tough like Canabalt :) Overall, warping is a great concept and I think you could pursue this idea further!

Nice concept! I think if you put sound effects to game maybe be better... :)

Cool graphics, are Flashback style. The game is very entertaining and you could make a version for mobile phones!

Nice looking game. I think the gameplay would work better if the warping was more responsive, especially the times where you need to warp 2+ times quickly.

Best addictive game so far, good job.

Pretty good, liked the lane switching. the warping itself felt a bit slow though, but that could be me.

Thanks for the nice feedback ! By the way, the game is hard, especially after the level 5 or 6.

The art looks great and the game mechanics are good. However, the order the lanes change might use some tweaking in my opinion. You could also try to make the warping more responsive.

I love the vertical spawn mechanic in this game. The run animation was very smooth too!

Nice idea. Controls seem a bit laggy.

Quite good game ;) I saw background's connect points, I think you should repair it because it looks a little ugly ;) Controls are some unconfortable, and a shame that there is no music ;) Anyway, I think is good game like a first LD entry, I wish you good luck! Cheers ;)

Really liked the graphics style; I think that runners should feel a bit more fast paced though -- the downside to hitting a barrier didn't feel like enough of a disincentive.

The linux version deosn't run. It looks like you mistakenly packaged the windows one in the linux download

No sound:(

It seems there's no consequence for getting stuck on a wall, either.

Keep polishing!

Thanks for all the comments !

For the ones saying that there is no consequences getting stuck on a wall, can you please play for more than one minute ?
There is limited time to finish levels and there are deadly walls (ennemies) starting after a few levels...

Pretty awesome warping mechanic. Also you should definitely do an endless/survival mode.

Uh, WINE is crashing and the title screen looks so seducing.
