2 Roll by lawendt

[raw]
made by lawendt for LD34 (JAM)
2 Roll is about two separate souls faded to pass through doors wich are only opened by their eternal partner.
How long can you delay the inevitable?
Keep falling through the plataforms and don't let anyone reach the thorns at the top.
There are two buttons, left and right
Right open the doors at the left side and rotate it anticlockwise
Left open the doors on the right side and rotate it clockwise

Cool idea although I find it way too hard. I can't get more than 22 seconds...

Great art design, but I couldn't make it very far.

It's a little bit tricky to get used, but then it gets too easy, I guess...

You've one the internet for at least 15 minutes. Great little game. would be great time waster on phone where you use tilting to control it. Excellent Job! Only issue I had is there either was no sound, it was to quiet to be heard, or the sound was broken for me.

It's pretty difficult but compels you to retry. The art and sound are very atmospheric. Loved the cog sound in particular.

Pretty good idea actually. I thought the trap doors were random at first before I realized it was linked to the left/right keys. Once I got the hang of it, it felt like I could play indefinitely though, is there any difficulty increasing?
The doors should stand out from the background more

Yes, the difficulty increases~
Thanks for the advice!
And we have plans to do a mobile build.

The game is beautiful looking and the music is very nice too. Well done there! However, I find the game to be too hard, I couldn't get very far :(

I like this. I kinda wish the controls were reverse for rotating, they seem backwards to me.

I liked the iea a lot, but I think it's too hard in the beggining... It's easy to learn how it goes, but difficult to make it further than 3 or 4 plattforms.

Anyway, nice one!

Umm... Is a cheat press both buttons?

Wow. Very compelling. Nice art, nice gameplay, and very hard (in a good way)! Nice job!

Amazing mood here! I loved the art and music style. The gameplay was certainly unique but lacked fine control. If the doors toggled rather than only opened when you pressed the button, I think it would be better. Overall, an impressive entry. Well done!

Really cool entry. Love the art style (somewhat victorian; reminds me of Edward Gorey illustrations). Well polished. Conratulations :)

PS.: Was able to survive 57s.

I loved the Game. Played several times. Sweet backgroundstory and gothic mood :)

Amazing sound and graphics, and a great take on the theme - but as others have said, really, really hard.

Damn this game is hard! I had a really tough time getting through more than 2 doors before the thorns got me.

Really cool concept and a great mood. Despite me sucking, I had a good time and would totally play an 'easier at the start' version some more :)

Could definitely do without the gaps only being open sometimes! (was about to say it seems weird they're randomly open but just re-read the description)... So after playing and understanding that they open when I press the correct button I actually lasted 72 seconds, so much better when you get it! Solid entry, although I reckon lots of people won't pick up on that bit of the game and might mark you a little harshly!

This game is super hard. I'm not ambidextrous enough to make it much past 30 seconds. Super awesome idea, art and music! :-)

Nice mood. Very hard with the disappearing platforms. I think they should just be holes, at least at first.

Thanks everyone for the advices, we are really looking forward to create a nice story for the game and to amplify its mechanics. I'll leave a comment in each one of your games. Thanks for stopping by, fellow developers! - Jeremias.

Nice :) Kind of had to rearrange my brain to play it. Love the art style as well.

It is very fun and challenging, but sometimes it gets very frustrating and you just mash the buttons in rage :P

Cool idea! Really challenging but I started to get good at it after a while! Also the music and graphics fit each other really well.

I like that you focused on the "two" part of the two-buttons and implemented two in the mechanic as well. Nice meditative music. Simple gameplay, but entertaining nonetheless.

Great art and music! Loved the mood of the game but found it a bit too difficult/not really responsive enough and it was on the boundary of frustrating than fun for me.

I liked the idea! But didn't play much because it's not clear when the holes will be open next time (seems random)

Great mechanics, quite addictive! I think you shouild this port to the mibile platfroms, it is a nice time killer.
You should introduce the bouncy surface a bit earlier because If I understand it correctly, most players don't get past 60 seconds.
My record is 161 seconds.

Also, don't listen to those who say that controld are unresponsible. They're just OK.

One more note. The "instructions" section is overloaded with informatiuon. I tried to figure out the controls by reading tutorial but didn't understand nothing.
Then I just pressed PLAY and figured out everything in 3 seconds, just by pressing A/D. Playing it with one hand.

PS: the game is not too hard, it is as hard as it should be ;)

Awesome work!! I got 82 seconds ;) The art and sounds are great and establish quite an atmosphere. Overall the game plays really well and is quite fun!

I feel like the controls are backwards than what I would have expected, which might have made it unnecessarily difficult to get used to... but I do really love the unique door mechanic you have.

Not that it makes any difference on your score, but I noticed you misspelled "platforms" a couple times.

Good game!
