Great story. I wish there was more. Awesome physics for the slingshot. I also like how climbing up the rounded corners feels. The end is kinda anti-climactic.
if you go backwards at the start (with boots), the game crashes.
if you try really hard to walk through a door you can get stuck in it.
@rgbDreamer: the game didn't even have an ending until ~15mins before the submission deadline :-) Such is life in 48hr game making...
Four siblings set out to compete in the Ludum Dare! The youngest was told she 'lacked the skillz to pay the billz' so was forced to work her part-time job at a local manga/maid cafe instead of enter. (sad trumpet)
Well the first sibling tried to make an RTS, and crashed and burned when he realized it usually takes 48 *months* to create proper orthogonal units, so he gave his dev rig to the youngest.
The second sibling spent so much time creating the most gorgeous and beautiful artwork that by the time the deadline rolled around... that was all she had. She gave her tablet and stylus to the youngest.
The third sibling had his stuff locked down tight, but ended up drinking way too much the night of the competition and woke up with a hangover the evening it was due, slapped together a 'joke entry', then promise that NEXT LD HE WOULD REIGN. He left his Internet connection to the youngest.
So, now armed with all the tools she needed to make a killer game, the youngest braved the terrors of the Ludum Dare. She kept it simple, she kept it cute, and she kept it (reasonably) bug free.
Submitting her awesome game with just moments to spare, she revelled in bliss as the positive comments avalanched in and she became a super famous indie developer, eventually hiring her brothers and sister and forming the best independent game studio ever.
THE END.
P.S. Your game was awesome.
Overall it was fun, but way too short. This was to be expected of course, with the time constraints and all. Very nice work!
There was a graphics glitch where blue horizontal lines (sky?) between some of the tiles.
I got stuck in the door by the slingshot brother, which was annoying :/ Apart from that, it was a nice experience.
Also, the there's a little bug. After you exit the last vines to the right side, the climb-texture will still be displayed.
