Little Death Adventure by blackmagic

[raw]
made by blackmagic for LD25 (JAM)
Hi, Here is our little death adventure.

You can find the source code at github. We don't really know why but the game is way faster on chrome that firefox and way faster on standalone than nav.

We hope you'll enjoy it !

Very well done and actually quite enjoyable, but quite short (sadly) and it lacks a bit of variety.

Super sexy art, somewhat glitchy programming (e.g. platforms not always working) and awkward controls.

Really nice graphics, sounds and animation. Also very enjoyable in an immediately gratifying kind of way. I think it would be improved if you had to kill all civilians before you can progress to the next level.

Exception entry! The graphics were superb quality and really fitting for the theme. I loved the comedy elements (talking scythe? Genius!) and the text messages really added depth to the experience. I think it was good that there wasn't too much in the way of environmental challenge because it was more fun to go on a crazy slaughter and read the text, which meant you couldn't keep your eye on the dude all the time anyway. Great music and intro, really good

Great art and sound. Wish I had more of a momentum when attacking / different moves I could do. And maybe something to attack me.

Great little game, I liked the music and graphics a lot, and he humor was great, those messages in the bottom were a nice touch. Making precise jumps was just a bit difficult.

Thanks everyone !
for our fist participation, the dev went pretty good.
Except for 4 hours of total brainfuck sunday afternoon who put Blackmagic in despair, hopefully i entered berserk mode just after !

Excellent ! But... While you noted that the game is faster in standalone, I tried to download the win version, but every links seems to go on the web version... Have I missed something ? ^^;

OMG you guys get the whole points in every category. This thing is hillariously good. The graphics are awesome, beyond awesome even. The animation is brilliant. The music is really great, so is the sound. It is so fun to play and slay folks. The mood is awesome.
Only thing is the controls, which are a bit weird. But still the game is ridiculously awesome and brilliant. Loved every second of it.

Very polished game with beautiful graphics, great chip music and great humour! Bit glitchy, got stuck behind that step area in your last screenshot. Lacks a little bit of variety but that's understandable given the 48hr timeframe. Great fun!

Well done! I love the texts (and private jokes ^^), it really adds a lot of fun to the mindless slaughtering of people :D The intro is perfect and the music is great!

Brilliant graphics and audio, but playing deah, I would have liked the controls to feel more powerful.

I'm a sucker for pixel art and yours is very well done! I would've liked to have seen more depth and challenge in the gameplay (such as the civilians fighting back) but it is a nice hack-and-slash nonetheless :D Great job!

The intro and it's FFVIIish tune, the talking scythe, the gameplay, and the quotes, everything is fantastic.

I didn't succeeded to reach the 666 points, but I will.

Great visuals and lovely music. The gameplay could use a little polish :3 it actually reminded me a lot of a game I once made called Ninja Furenji :P

Awesome game. Liked the cameos, although Steve Jobs looked more like that movie critic guy (don't know his name)

The little sentences makes all the game! Without them, it would be a bit boring, with them, it's pretty fun to play! That was a very good idea!

Very well done, I loved the music, the intro is AMAZING,

I think it could have helped the mood so much if the sky and city weren't so clean and blue-skyish"

Nice but the "hero" moves too slowly, I felt the game lacks some dynamic

Great graphics, nice music. Everyone is saying it, but the intro was pretty good too. Also, the gameplay needed a bit more variety, and the reasons for death at the bottom were a nice touch.

Quite a fun game here. Got stuck behind the bleachers(?) first time I attempted the game. Did eventually manage to beat it though the winning text seems to be written over the previous lose text. If you are having a time limit you shouldn't have discreet levels but a single long level. Alternatively, you could have had a series of levels requiring the player to gather x souls within the time-limit.
