Rogue Bladers: Cradle of disaster by Deconstructeam

[raw]
made by Deconstructeam for LD34 (JAM)
"Rogue Bladers: Cradle of Disaster" is an action-platformer game with support for local co-op in which you play as the Button Brothers, two independent justice rangers who fight crime with a jetpack and a pair of rollerskates.

Press Z to thrust, release Z to turn.
You can climb walls and grind the roof with your jetpack on.
Skate over an item to pick it up, hold X to aim, and release X to throw it.

(Player 2 controls are keyboard keys "O" and "P".)

The art of Jetpack-Rolling can be tricky, dont give up! The world needs you!

Great art work. I think rooms should have been persistent. Destroyed the wall, accidentally left the room and had to do it again. Liked the effect the train gave when it went past. Good job.

Awesome job all around guys. Wish I had a second person here to playtest with - seems like the co-op would be a lot of fun :)

Really cool to see what you did with just two buttons, there are a lot of actions your character can perform. Some moves didn't feet very intuitive, like when you climbed a wall and it switched directions, but for a game jam it's damn good.

The game is highly polished, didn't run into any bugs and thought it was really fun. Perhaps the thing that needs to be improved the most would be level design, then again, it works pretty well as it is right now.

Good job guy! :)

Great artwork, great music, great ideas for the controls, although it can get kinda confusing in some situations. Blasting thugs with wheels and exchanging them with your friend felt awesome, you could build a dodgeball game on that!

Great job guys!!!

So great! Initially you can think "how crazy is that!", a dew seconds after you're shouting the other guy. Music are so nice!

Good job guys. The mechanichs are good, the control works fine and flawlessly. I didn't quite enjoy the music, it gets repetitive so quickly and also I didn't enjoy so much test for an arcade game, but I know this is your style :D

I also love that you included coop but not requiring it, I'm tired of Luudm Dare games you can only play in coop. Great attention to detail there.

It's a good looking game with an interesting idea, but the controls make less enjoyable the game it could they be.

Great controls for just two buttons, really cool and weird way to navigate environments.

The camera moving from room to room was a bit confusing, and some jumps were really hard to make.

The characters were really funny, both through dialog and looks.

Good job!

I find controls very confusing. Especially throwing the tire right.
Apart from that, good job team! :-)

The graphics and the dialogue boxes are very well done.

It's fun, looks beautiful art-wise, the audio matches, and those characters and dialogues are lovely, along with their animations -already fell in love with them-. Some of the collisions work weirdly as at some point we had to restart the game because the sprite wouldn't move from a corner, but overall we really had fun playtesting the game, and matches the theme "two buttons".

The impact in this game is ridiculously perfect. Didn't expect I could throw - well, things other than tires (to avoid spoilers) - so that was cool. Turning around is annoying but otherwise the control is pretty solid.

Very nice, guys! A very fleshed out entry, I think I'm not fit for these controls and couldn't play with a second player, but that's no problem! Congrats!

Pro:
+ Great artwork and music
+ Interesting and original concept
+ Excellent ambiance
+ Great controls
Con:
- Really easy to die on spikes (or I just suck at it)
- Controls can go a bit crazy
Obs:
o I went past Toro, and went to next screen, came back accidentally and died there, and then the game crashed

Hah, this is cool. Controls are pretty awkward, but i like the concept. Being able to move to previous rooms and accidentally resetting your progress is really annoying, though. Still, i had fun, loved the aesthetic too, great work!

Also, i got a fatal error after dying in the room immediately after the baby lord: "Variable o_map.<unknown variable>(100132, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
