Crash Lander is a very challenging rocket platform game. Work your way down the winding caverns, find precious checkpoints, and see if you can reach the bottom. Precision is key. You will die... A lot...

I'm looking for feedback about the difficulty and the game in general. If you're interested, I'd love for you to play it!

Hey everyone! I've been quietly working on a post-jam version of my game Crash Lander. I thought I'd make a post about the new graphical style. Here are a couple before and after screenshots.

I was happy to hear positive feedback about the graphics for the original version of the game, but I was never really satisfied with them. In particular, the environment felt really plain.

I decided to create all new tilesets and add a variety of lighting. I think the results look quite nice and the darkness really adds a sense of claustrophobia as you delve deeper and deeper. It's not completely dialed in yet, but it's getting there. I feel like it's much closer to the original vision I had for the game.

I hope to release the new version shortly after the jam ends. In the meantime, I'd love for you to check out the original version! It's a pretty difficult platforming game about flying a rocket, managing fuel, and dying a whole bunch.
