Gameplay is cookie cutter with little innovation.

The art was both pretty and funny, and I found that the game was short enough that the gameplay didn't get repetetive."},{"author_name":"Dakota","author_uid":"10697","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:44pm","epoch":1346081940,"text":"This is one of those games that sums up Ludum Dare for me. Its not the most amazing game in the world, it doesn't look the best. But it has such a odd concept and design you wouldn't get from someone spending ages on making a game."},{"author_name":"Punga","author_uid":"16134","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:47pm","epoch":1346082120,"text":"LOL epic ending :D.

Had a lot of fun, learnt a lot... Anyway, inspiration wasn't the best 'cause I really wasn't expecting this theme so I ended up with some \"jumping scroller\". It's simple but kinda fun. I spent most of the time drawing animations which was exhausting but it paid off.\r\n\r\nYou start as a young Darewin (e is on purpose!) and you get older as you progress through the game. You just run and jump, run and jump, run and jump... There are four bosses which you have to pass and in the end there's a little secret for all you game makers which I hope you'll understand. :P \r\n\r\nThank you Ludum Dare community for your awesomeness and fun!\r\n\r\n*If it doesn't run, try downloading the jar, and running command \"java -jar LD24.jar\". You must be in the same directory as jar.<\/p>","title":"Darewin's Missing Link"}
