Bug life by mramaizng

[raw]
made by mramaizng for LD33 (JAM)
A simple escape game. Move left and right (A/D) to get to the green grass.

The little character was found online via google. I will upload the source to github. The bad textures are mine.

Its really good, controlls are easy to learn, and I like the idea of sliding.

Sadly, there are only 3 levels :(

MAKE MORE!

Fun! I like the idea of having to escape from the cage. I'd like to see more complex levels playing with the mechanic.

Nice game, but way tooo short...
I just understood the controls,and than it was over...

The controls felt good and the monster looked solid.

More levels!

I really like this. Awesome idea and good gameplay.
With lots more levels, better graphics and gameplay this would make a pretty good (big)game.

Neat! If only there were more levels - or score, or something to try and achieve!

Pretty cool, I wanted more levels, maybe other obstacles!

Fun to play, but it is too short for how much fun it was.

I love the idea! Make some more levels for this!!

The controls were sooo satisfying! Especially the animation of the bug when you moved!

Simple. Did it's job. Mechanics felt great. Not a bad minute of my life. ^^

That was a pretty nice game! The controls felt very nice and made things quite fun. :)

Hey man great job! I like the physics and the level design. The game flows really well. Good entry :)

This is a really neat idea! The game itself is very nice and the controls feel responsive, but it'd be better with some sound. Next time, you should download SFXR and use that to randomly generate some sounds (such as a happy ring for beating a level, or a quiet thud when you hit a wall). And of course, it'd be great if there were more levels. Nice job!

I like the way how to control ^^
and the camera is really smooth
but a littlebit short

Good, concept and the sliding is fun. I think this would make a nice game if fleshed out more. :)

Great concept, but obviously missing some levels and it's a little bland. But great idea! Fits the theme nicely as well.

I really liked it. The game-play definitely made up for the initial impression. Wish it had more levels, but the few levels were really fun.

Fun while it lasted! If only my guy wasn't phasing through the walls, I could see potential in a game like this where it touched up in the assets and audios! Good job!

This feels like a really solid tutorial for a good game. Now that the compo is over, you should consider expanding it to a full game.

Fun physics! Definitely has promise.

Super fun in such a short time. Love the feel and speed of it.

Interesting concept! The first time I played, I went off the screen and had to reload. Once I figured out you were supposed to hit the ground, I was good to go. I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more levels, but what is there is fun.

That was fun, despite being short. Good job!

Was fun but the levels were too easy and quick

Excellent idea, I love it! And the snarky text is the perfect blend of humor and tutorial. When I left the game sit for a bit while I was doing something else, it appears my bug sunk through the floor.

It's cool, neat little sliding ramp platformer. I like it!

It's fun but short :/

I like the idea of the ramps. There is a "Sonic the Hedgehog" kind of fee with them

Nice idea! and the controls feels nice

Interesting and fun concept, very sad to see that it's so short.

* Text disappears /way/ too quickly, grammatical errors doesn't help
* I was able to jump outside the green floor and start falling forever

Fun! Controls well. The slidy momentum idea is good, but there aren't enough levels to really get the feel for it.

This is actually a pretty cool puzzle game. A more fleshed out version of this could be super interesting.

Definitely interesting.

Just wish more levels!

Good job!

Pretty fun mechanics, would be cool if there were more levels and interactions, maybe spikes and elevators?

On level 2 I was able to jump over the entire grass area and fall forever :P

Neat game! Controls are easy, but left me wanting more levels.

Nicely done, enjoyable and entertaining. Adding difficulty and maybe some wall jumping would make this a cool platformer in the future.

You should make a mechanic which makes players want to play more- like a scoreboard!

24. Aug 2015 · 09:03 UTC
first of all, I love the physics! Really nice job there,the sens of speed and momentum is relly nice. I also like the feel of GFX alot as well. Would be great if the camera panned in the direction you are moving so you can see more.

I was having fun with that. It ended far too quickly.

Good idea the system of sliding but i think theme is not really respected
We need more level ; )

Nice, but short. More levels would have been nice.

I liked the gameplay. Wished there were more levels but it was fun while it lasted. Also I wished there were some sounds or music.

this is fun you incorporate more levels this would be a fun game that could rival games like candy crush and angry birds

Controls are nicely smooth, but it is soooo short!
wavegunner232
24. Aug 2015 · 17:00 UTC
controls are amazing. the art is fine. It is short but its a ludum dare game so i can understand why. my biggest problem with the game is how easy it is. once you understand the controls it gets pretty easy and as i have already said it is very short. All in all it is a very very good ludum dare game 9/10

Fun game, found a bug though (haha) when you manage to jump over the green area, you seem to get stuck in to the void?

Super fun! I was hoping for more levels but settled for playing through it 3 times :)

Nice work!

Cool monster game! I like how you took use of the movements in such an innovative way! Is there another ending than "The monster never wins", or is that the real end?

good controls, good concept, can be a fun/funny game, but I think it miss some stuff, did it really have only 3-4 levels ?

Hey Man!! Very nice idea. Very nice game, but somethimes the controlers is very difficult, but it is a very nice idea to work on. Keep up.
