Puzzlyderm by jonoxia

made by jonoxia for LD28 (JAM)

Graphics and ideas by Lucy, programming by Jono

As a baby elephant, "you only get one" choice of powers - Jump, Suck, Freeze, or Slice. The goal is to get to the apple in each level. The way you'll do this is very different depending on which power you picked.

There are currently one and a half levels. It needs a lot more, but we ran out of time.

Implemented in Javascript/Canvas/"HTML5". Source code is at http://github.com/jonoxia/onlyone

I got bug that when i climb onto "suck" choice, I made the choice become yellow, but rather than auto fall, I press the down button, then I got stuck under the earth. (sorry for grammar mistakes)

I love the little elephant and the sound effects. The climbing animation had me laughing. An interesting concept, though difficult to know which ability to choose because you cannot see the upcoming levels. Perhaps allow the player to choose an ability at the start of the level, then they can experiment on the best way to accomplish each level.

Being able to restart a level upon death instead of reloading the whole game would be nice, as well as some music to go along with the game.

Cute, but the collision detection with the ground seems a little dodgy as I kept falling out the bottom of the level.

Nice concept, I like the freeze power. I hope you can evolve this game even further
