Well, this is the first ludum dare we have actually completed. We used C++ and SFML, plus a tiny codebase(about 100 lines) to load files slightly more efficiently. This game switches between two similar levels every 10 seconds, and your job is to complete the puzzles and jumps, and kill the zombies to get to the end of the level (The other door).
There are currently 6 levels, but I plan on adding more later. Notify us for any glitches,errors or bugs.
Controls:
A: Left
D: Right
Space: Jump/Climb
Click: Shoot
Note: If you cannot run this, please leave a comment to tell us the error. Hopefully, we can help you fix it!
If you have an error about a dll such as MSVCP11.dll, you have to install the visual c++ runtime:

MSVCP11 or something like that was missing, so is unplayable for me :(
You need to install the microsoft visual c+++ 11 runtime:

Mediafire is asking me to watch videos and solve captchas. You should upload the file somewhere else, like a public Dropbox link.
This is a really clever idea and I know it had to fit the theme and all, but honestly 10 seconds is far too long to wait for a level switch. A single death can undo minutes of work! Still though, if the theme had been like "3 seconds" instead, this game would be really enjoyable, and it's still a neat idea.
I changed the link from mediafire to dropbox. Those ads were incredibly annoying.
Windows version error before anything appeared, something about needing a 32 or 64 bit version. My Windows is 32 bit.
yeah, i never compiled a 32 bit version. I can make one if you are interested in playing it, but I figured that there aren't that many people with 32 bit computers.
Couldn't run, missing MSVCP110D.dll You should probably distribute a release build instead of debug, people are more likely to have it.
Also, holy CRAP those are some big textures. I was wondering what the 80Mb zip consisted of, mostly just a couple of 10Mb pngs :)
I installed the vc11 redistributable, but still missing msvcp110d.dll? :-/
Sorry to all of the people who are missing msvcp110d.DLL, it is in fact the debug version and I will get out a fix shortly.
Could you make a smaller file size version? Maybe remove music or lower textures? I'm not sure how many people will download this due to the short attention span of most LD users for rating games
Aww, the idea sounded quite good... http://puu.sh/4drnC.jpg Try to not delete/move files you link to ;D
I know i just fixed it the link should be back up in a few minutes
The download should be back up! Not sure why Dropbox deleted it.
Don't use PNG's for textures like those. JPG is a better format for those kind of pictures.
It's not a horrible idea but maybe there could've been a way to skip the few seconds because the pace is a bit too slow. There was also no music playing when there should be music playing?
Do we really need 2048x2048 PNG textures? Can't you maybe downscale them and save them as jpeg? :(
Simply making OrangeDiamond.png a high quality, 1024x1024 jepg dropped it from 10MB to 300KB
Felt really slow paced, like I was waiting for the timer more than moving

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.
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.
man, time to get a DropBox or SkyDrive account...
