Yuzaro by kutullu

[raw]
made by kutullu for LD28 (JAM)
Barely finished it. ;)
No music, sadly. Hope everything works alright, it's our very first game. It's not very long, but we hope you will still have at least some fun. :)
Regarding the theme... there is only one mirror? Just kidding. We wanted to set a timer of exactly one minute to finish the game, but now it is us who have no time left to finish. Oh, the irony!

Thanks for trying the game out!

X to jump,
C to attack.
You can double jump and climb walls.


Cheers, Nora & Marcus

Fun but VERY frustrating (damn those spikes near the first level end ladder!) I accidentally pressed X the first time I played and skipped the tutorial, so it was a fun time working out the controls. The jumping felt a bit weird also, like variable heights are fine but with a double jump it feels weird.

Great graphics, sound and level design. Awesome job for the time frame :)

+1 for the fun, and +1 for the frustration.
Great job anyway !

Nice game. The difficulty is just right, considering the length of the game. Took me two tries to get to the end.

The game is really frustrating... but well, that's the theme for this ludum dare!

It's fun! The graphics are right, is missing some music.

Thanks for the feedback! Great to hear that you like the graphics, makes us really proud. :)
I agree that the "feel" of the jumping could use some work, though. Especially the double jump. Anyway, thanks for playing!

Cheers, Marcus

I really like myself a good platformer and this is definitely one of them. Really cool stuff.

I love how you have to double jump in the tutorial to get to the sign that tells you about double jump :P I liked that it had so many elements, wall jumping, double jump, ladders. A little more polish to the controls, would really make this shine!
Good job.

Thus was fun, and difficult. Cool idea and well executed, well done.

Difficult game to get your head round but after a while I got the hang of it :D Visuals were nice as well :)

Cool game! But really frustating :X Mechanics were great but as someone said double jump just felt weid! Great job! :D

If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it :)

Nice game but jumping seems a little bit imprecise and difficult :P

Hahaha "By the way, you can double jump" after a jump requiring double jump :D

Nice game but it would be great if you include some checkpoints...

Heh, this was a fun game. The graphics and level design are nice. My only complaint would be the jumping, the character fell down too fast after releasing the jump button.

Thanks four your feedback and thanks for playing, guys and gals! This is really motivating! :)
Regarding the hilarious double jump signpost: Doh! In earlier builds, Yuzaro could jump a little higher und you didn't need to double jump to cross the first obstacle. Maybe I will just add a winking smily to the text of the sign, making it seem like an intentionally funny thing ;)

@ glovecat
Thanks for your feedback, though I think the game is not very long as it is and I thought that including checkpoints would make it way to easy. In essence, we are compensating for the short playtime with a higher difficulty.

Cheers, Marcus

Pretty cool. Nice graphics etc. I got passed the guy with spikes above him once and then died on something stupidly easy to avoid, and then I couldn't get passed the guy with spikes above him anymore. Also the jumping felt pretty weird but I got used to that.

Also... A-- Are those guys wearing... underwear?
