Road to Something by GoldenEvolution

[raw]
made by GoldenEvolution for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

In this game you start off with literally absolutely nothing, and try to work your way up. It's an adventure platformer game which is slightly challenging.

This has been my first gamejam that I have participated in, and I must say, this can be quite stressful haha. I've never produced code that is so ugly, but oh well, at least I got my little game done. Hope you enjoy it!

Controls: Arrow keys/WASD keys, spacebar, leftshift (the game will tell you what does what).

This game is honestly amazing, best one i've played so far, so many original ideas i played all of it and enjoyed all of it, sure i found some issues, but the game more than over compensates with an overwhelming ammount of originality. Seriously, well done!

I think the idea is common and playtime is long for game jam. But in a bright side it is solid entry for the first jam and graphics were cool. The sound was chill, it was fitting the game.

I like how it was easy to climb stairs, i think that was pretty good lil detail.

Great job!

This is very beautiful game with some great music. This is overall a pretty good combo game, but platform controls could have been a bit better. So well done.

@iozsaygi I honestly had no clue the length of the game mattered. I initially thought, the more content, the better. But after rating a few games, I know what you mean. I am glad you liked it!

Beautiful game. I like the idea. Would be nice to give more drag when player is grounded. Solid Entry!

I almost gave up on the first part because my ball was too fat to reach the small one in the corner.

You are welcome, I loved how you made the art simple, but still enjoyable!

@rob1221dev Haha yeah, I probably should've made it so they stayed away from the corners. Now you just have to be patient for them to leave.

@thiago-nascimento Thanks! Although, I do not suggest eating pants in real life :D

Excellent music. It fits the theme. Great job.
Just a little difficult to control and there are too many small brick. The small brick is hard to jump on.

I like how you can hols spacebar to climb the stairs, so you don't need to jump on each one individually. Nice work!

Hm, a pretty standard platformer~ Not bad at all, seeing as this was your first game! Nice atmosphere, and the platforming can be a bit tricky at times... Also, at the last part, when I finally meet someone else, the text seems to have bugged out and I couldn't see what was being said. I assume it was something along the lines of "Oh, I'm not alone after all" or something? Either way, good job on your first entry! Hope there will be more from you in the future!

Very excellent entry, especially for your first jam! I think you set up a really great atmosphere, and the number of different gameplay styles were all well done. The controls were pretty good, but I wish you didn't need to hold shift to climb walls and instead just stuck to them automatically. I also had justinooncx's problem with the end text bugging out.

I love how you showcased the game. And kept the game mechanics very simple. The small one is the prey always.

Im so relaxed after this game :D The only hard place in this game where you need to fall from wall to a platform, but higher is just skipped some part of parkour challenge just by climbing up a wall!!!

The graphics work very well with the theme, and the music is nice. For me though, I couldn't get very far, my timing just isn't good enough. As a very specific criticism though, during the "rolling ball" phase, especially on slopes, the ball has a tiny bounce that makes jumps just not work half the time.
