Fate of Mankind by LegacyCrono
"Fate of Mankind" is a little side-scrolling platformer game.
Your goal is simple: discover who you are. Following the traces of someone that seems to have informations, you advance through mind-bending caves collecting all the knowledge you can.
Unfortunately I had to finish the game quickly because I was running out of time. Still, it's totally playable!
Controls:
Arrow keys to move.
FIX UPDATE: I just realized that one of the discoveries were unreachable, which made it impossible to collect everything and get 100% completion. The fixed version doesn't have this problem anymore. Please play the fixed version, otherwise you won't be able to complete the game.

..."discovered hearing" scared the crap out of me though ._.
@xra: Well, you discovered that it doesn't say that! :P
@Hane: I'm very sorry! This has been fixed.
Innovation... I don't need to say anything about this... well actually I do because some people may have older versions of Wine and be unable to play it (Game Maker @_@). You start without being able to see and then you discover how to see and stuff like that.
Fun... This game has just inspired me to make more puzzle-platformers. I really, really liked this game.
Theme. You've hit this one on the nail.
Graphics are there and they work... and they work quite well. There's still room for improvement, but they're pretty good for what they are.
I liked the music, though it could possibly be a bit fuller. I have not penalised you for the fact that it doesn't loop properly under Wine, because that is a bug in Wine and not your game.
Humour is there, and it's fairly light-hearted. It made me smile.
But yeah, THIS GAME IS AWESOME GO PLAY IT (and if you can't, I'd be very keen to port this to or extend the idea on not-windows)
Community... Screenshots, beta tests, and even a timelapse. 5 stars.
I love the vision powerup at the start. Can't say much else.
Extremely impressive for 48 hours, and your first Ludum Dare!
It's neat because a handful of games decided to use a similar mechanic (discovering game abilities), it's cool to see how they each handled them differently. This one was the gold standard though.
ps. theme song is stuck in my head now. Forever.
