The Meek Prince Pixel by glock00
The game tells the grand voyage of a young prince who must learn that the more he has, the harder it gets. Experience that the things you acquire can sometimes make your life harder and can weigh heavily on your shoulders. Therefore act responsibly and take only the things you really need! ----
We (my girlfriend and me) finally did our very first game! Prince Pixel is a classic plattformer game where you need to reach your home without collecting too many coins and diamonds along the way (Beware of dangers, too).
At first, we couldn’t imagine doing the art by ourselves but here you go! Thanks to Ludum Dare for motivating us to finish a game!

@gassassin I found a fix for the crouch glitch but I am not sure if this is considered as rule breaking since it's a minor bug. We are definitely looking forward to the next LD :)
@oddlyfunctional Yes, the diamond's low contrast was partly intended! If you don't mind: What do you mean by "tighter controls"? Less input delay or the "feeling" in general?
Thanks again, this is just an awesome experience!
The graphics and color choices combined with the story make the game feel like running through a childrens book. I'd recommend keeping all pixels the same size though. So just draw the coins smaller instead of scaling, because it makes the scene look incoherent... Also the background is very blurry which is another problem with scaling pixelart. Try setting the filter mode to "point (none)" in the unity sprite import settings, then you should be able to scale without those artifacts if you do want a different resolution in the background (which I actually think is alright for background scenery).
Until next Ludum Dare!
@pablo-abraham Thanks!
@MrChippy Thanks for your feedback. Some people found it rather easy so I am glad you struggled a bit ;) We are happy you liked the style!
The snake was a bit fast for me and I was surprised everytime that I couldn't jump on it to kill it. ;) If you want to go crouching under something, but you were already standing near the edge of something, you couldn't crouch. The coin sound has a little 'tap' in the end here. I enjoyed playing your game and got till the end! My record is with 4/10 wealth. :)
