A New Kind of Man by Khayet
Have fun playing my compo-entry: A New Kind of Man. A science-fiction platformer with super powers. Controls: WASD, space, enter and sometimes the mouse.
Please give me feedback as honest as you can. The timelapse video is uploading. :)
looking forward to playing your entries,

The tank is FIERCE!! Full on stream of hot lead! I like!
I would have made the choice box work with the keys. Didn't seem right to have to use the mouse at that point.
Was expecting a second level. I mean, you did have a whole 48 hours... ;)
I made it to the end though, so that's a good sign!
(I play the game 2 times =D)
I really liked the wall jump ability.
As many others already mentioned it's too short.
Anyway a good game.
The lesson I learned is that it is really important to give the player enough room to explore the game mechanics you just taught them. And also that you should have a playable version before you program every feature you want in the final game.
(And that collision programming in Game Maker sucks!)
If you find anything else I should keep in mind next time - please tell me!
What I did really like is that there was (more or less) multiple ways to go about the level depending on the abilities you evolve. I think this is something you can really explore more.
But then the game was just over. I can't believe this is what you were going for, it feels a lot like you run out of time - I can't even see the sun as you promised?
Otherwise, you had cool gameplay ideas. Sound, music and graphics were okay.
Are you planning to extend the game?
