Great game, controls were a little weird but once you get used to them they're ok.
Shame there was only one level, I liked that the princess was tapping her foot whilst obviously bored waiting for the 'bad guy' to come ;)
Funny animations. My favorite parts are how the girl taps her foot while waiting for you and how, when you get to her, she goes bananas and runs away.
"No time for a retry button". Classic :D. Love the way the heroine absolutely panics when you approaches. Overall, a good effort.
Levels could probably use a little variety. Shooting mechanics could also be improved a bit. Otherwise cool. Nice art.
i wanted to include 10 levels within this game.but i could'nt finish it because of the time limit so i had to release it.i also got 3 more maps that i have desinged.what a waste :(
I found it was only just fitted on my laptop display full screen. Would be nicer smaller. Shame you didn't get time because more levels would make this much nicer.
Not bad for a first time pixel-arter! I love how the first time I got to the top that dude just killed the absolute shit out of me before I even knew what was going on. It took me another three tries before I could finally murder him back, but I DID! I MURDERED HIM BACK!
I added the alternate controls version that you all asked for.So i hope its better now.
I think what your art needs is a bit more thought on lighting. In my hopinion things need some kind of depth information even in an 2d pixel art platformer (unless you go totally abstract). But thats just my opinion, and you kind of asked for it ;)
I also got shot badly the first time I approached the bad guy. Panic-Princess is funny ;)
I don't really understand it but it's fun. The music is pretty cool, and the art is nice
Welcome to LD! Glad you finished something! And decent artwork, too, particularly for an LD game.
I like how the princess runs away at the end.
No audio, so rating N/A in audio category.
I think the 2nd guy on level 3 is impossible to get without dying yourself. I love the animations. Good show!
That guy has reflexes like the best gunman in the west!
It didn't make me feel like a villain :)

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.
Would be much better if you changed 'jump' from space to up arrow ;)
