MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
This game is not as complete at all, probably because this was my first Ludum dare and I didt get the hang of managing my time.
Any way your main charecter is going to die in 10 secconds (when the sun sets) and in that time he goes through his memories, and finaly says goodbye to his wife on last time.
I plan on continuing development of this; eg adding more levels a deeper story and so on. Please give your comments, it the whole reason I did this :)
I did rush, so please let me know of any stupid things.
Notes:
Space or enter to start
You need a minimum java 1.6
The Window size is stupid, I will fix soon

Good idea. I hope you are able to finish it and add an ending.
Jumping and collision were weird, so much so that just jumping from platform to platform was frustrating
Sorry Guys for all the bugs, If you follow me here or on twitter @RavetcoFX I will do more updates.
Thanks for the comments :)
The music is great, and the art style is nice, but I'm having difficulty understanding what is happening in the game. Some symbols just disappear, the wife/daughter mourns (which does make sense), and you turn into a pulsating cloud when you are over the woman on the top, and even though the sun set you can still move around. I'm not quite getting what the game is trying to tell me.
The to people standing next to each other used to be your parents that you remember, and they died early in your life, the baby turned into your wife mouring sybolizing it was a silent birth, and the pulsating cloud it a bug...
I really liked your art style and your music, you also had kind of a solid idea, but the game programming and polishing was lacking.
I will give you some of my impressions, I hope this help you next time:
* At the title screen, I tried clicking "start" but nothing happened. If you are not going to do mouse input, do not place a "button" like on your screen, and tell the player as soon as possible what are the commands (space for jumping?)
* The platforming needs work. The jump is really short, but the character can somehow glitch into the next platform, even though visually he cant reach it.
* Also, when I played the second time around (after dying the first time), the game did not end when the sun reached the bottom of the screen. Check if you are resetting all your variables!
Thanks for the game, and best of luck next LD :-)
I like the music
I can't jump?
I just got the jumping and made it to the top. I dont fully grasp whats going on though?
Jumping mechanic needs a lot of work. some more direction on the win/lose/gameplay?
I like the art/graphics a lot! good music!
Has potential for great mood and ambient game
thank you caranha, i was rushing at the last few minutes, It is a heaping pile of garbage atm, I will work on it some more...
Awesome game! I really liked it! Loved the music! :) (also my game has a linux version like you asked :D)
I will thank people individualy now:
thanks namrog84 for the feedback
and thank you ix aswell :)
Looks awesome, but I don't understand the game really well...
I can totally sign what dalinblue said: "Some symbols just disappear, the wife/daughter mourns (which does make sense), and you turn into a pulsating cloud when you are over the woman on the top, and even though the sun set you can still move around. I'm not quite getting what the game is trying to tell me."
That's my experience too. And I'm not sure what's up with the hunchback angel? And yes, the jumping needs a lot of work.
I like the graphics and the music though! It looks rough, but still pleasing, and the minimal animations work well.
Congratulations on finishing your first LD! I hope you'll be back for more later :)
Thank you very much JackiMonster and TobiasW, If you read up in the comments I explained a bit of what was going on :)
Do you have a direct download link? Media fire keeps crashing and won't let me download it. You're screen shot looks cool.
Love the art style but I'm not sure what the objective was and the game wouldn't fully display for me.
Beautiful music and artstyle, would be nice to have some more polished gameplay.
zanzindorf: will do very soon
Cosrnos: I will fix the large window Sillyness
cwkx: thank you, I will fix up the sillyness soon
I like the simple art style but I'd suggest working on the feel of the controls as they were a bit disjointed. Otherwise a good solid game though, the music was nice too.
The graphics attracted me to play the game, but it seems to be buggy. I cannot jump higher than the first platform. After 3 sunsets the sun hangs and you can play forever.
great ! I specialy apreciate the graphical mood and music. the story telling elements are mature, even the purpose is classic. exellent work.
tripleVisionGames: Thankyou, I am working to fix the kinks in the next few days
Zerkruemler: Will fix
kayupla: Wow, thank you, I am amazed you didnt comment about the bugs.
Media fire = blah.
As far as the game, I LOVED the artwork. I really was feeling it. Congrats on your first Ludum Dare.
Music is really nice, but you should definitely distribute it in some lossy format (to reduce download size). The game itself was little bit confusing (at least for me) sometimes :-)
Thanks nathanhoffer :)
rincewind_cz, I made song smaller so I isnt so massive, I just need to fix a few more bugs and upload the darn thing.
Nice graphics and music, but there is some bug. Also, the collisions are... argh, a bit strange.

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.
I don't feel like I can even rate this. Either I'm missing something or there is no gameplay. I can' even get past the first platform :(
Nice art and music though.
