I did this as a Compo entry initially, but just ran out of time. Other than the extra day I followed the Compo rules.
The idea was to have a different gadget in each room, but that turned out to be a little ambitious. Hope you enjoy it!

It was nice playing through the castle ^^
A fun platform game, quite a bit more depth than most. I really enjoyed it a lot and rated it highly :)
Cheers, Marcus
PS: I made the jump, so I have to be a god :D
The text on the tutorial level was straight unreadable, haha. But other than that it was great!
I like how you also incorporated the theme in different ways for each level. Nice work!
Great job (:
To be honest I: for me there were to many keys to press in the right order, so I didn't get very far (maybe a 360 controller makes it easier or maybe I'm just terrible at this).
But I can see from the comments that there are enough people who can do it:)
The graphics are really interesting, How did you came with these monsters, they are fun and unique.
I played with a controller, it works fine.
Final point: I love the music theme.
The sound is great as well as music. :)
I'm glad people are liking the tutorial, although the text is small on lower resolutions (sorry). Basically in my first LD nobody read the text instructions, and so ended up missing all the interesting bits of the game. This was quite upsetting, so I vowed from that day forward to try and have decent tutorials.
@colapsydo - I'm glad you enjoyed the monster sprites, I made them on a spreadsheet in Excel, just out of normal autoshapes. I made all the graphics this way.
I don't consider myself good at art, so the encouragement is genuinely a great confidence boost, thanks everyone.
Congratulations to the people who made the jumps, especially with a keyboard. I know that the whole game was much easier with a control pad. I wanted to have the little guy dance when he was up there, I had an animation but didn't have time to put it in :(
real nice pixels and simple but broad gameplay!
good going!
I noticed there are a few typing errors in there, just me typing when I was super tired, I'll try to sort them out at some point
Music gets a bit monotonous after a while, but fits the game nevertheless quite well!
i got stuff at the boss fight. what was i suppose to do?
If you meant the last level, then you just need to get rid of all the monsters and the gate will open (use the action button for your tiny death ray)
The game was fun!
And damn it! Those exits on the "You only got 1 shot" room don't take you anywhere! I thought it were passages... XD
(yep, was able to get there =D)
