I have no idea what's going on or how I'm meant to control this! I managed to accidentally do the first two levels while I was trying to read the intro and now my dude has disappeared?
Yep, if you move up and down too much the guy disappears completely :O
Game is hard. Really hard. Not quite sure why everything only moves when you do though.
The concept was a neat idea though.
First time the mouse run away so i reloaded it, and then i gat it. It's funny how things move only when YOU move, and it's a very interesting gameplay !
i love this idea. with some polishing it can be very good game
Once I worked out how to use the mouse for the little guy it was quite nice :) nice to see something different
Ack, crazy mouse movements! Great idea, really difficult to move around :D
I like the idea of the game only updating as you move. It was also interesting to move with only the mouse, yet still being affected by gravity. I did find a bug though, where moving off the screen would make your character disapear forever
Very cool concept. Did also encounter the bug where my little guy went off screen. Moved it to my replay folder :)
Very good, innovative concept! Graphics and music weren't much, but I loved the concept. Programming was slightly buggy, but I can't really blame you, this is something that I wouldn't dream of tackling in 48 hours. I hope this becomes something more. :)
It was challenging but not to hard. Took a while to get used to the controls but eventually I (kind of) got the hang of it. In the last level I cheated a bit by moving rapidly left and right so I got to start next to the tricky maze thing. So I sort of escaped, but deep down in my heart I know I'm still trapped...
It took a second to figure out how the controls worked, but once I did it was brilliant. Using the mouse feels precise until you get to the jumping levels when the vertical movement breaks down and becomes uncoupled from the mouse.
Fun to play if a bit buggy, totally keep developing this! :D
love the idea but a bit hard. maybe a jump & time indicator would be nice.
Very innovative game play. I like the controls and the idea of a "turn-based" platformer.
The game would have been much more fun if there weren't a couple of bugs:
1- If the game lost focus for any reason (clicking outside of the screen, or alt-tabbing), it would often lose track of the mouse cursor, and the villain would simply disappear from the screen, with no way to return.
2- There was no way to end the game, and with the mouse cursor captured by the program, it was hard to click on the close window button.
Polish it a little more and you got a really unique game on your hands. Thanks!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
