looks very nice. but suddenly the game broke. there was a error dialog from windows and then super strange soundeffects. very creepy!

This games art and music is the best ive seen so far. But it crashes... alot... couldnt play it through all the way.

Thanks guys, I'm currently fixing the game breaking bugs... I think I know what's wrong. Should have it updated in a moment.

Its had something to do with entering an illegal state with threads. Or something. Dont remember.

Alright, the crashing should stop. Music won't play post-death for reasons unknown, but I can fix that later after some sleep.

Thanks again for the responses, guys. Looking forward to playing your games!

After going back, it worked perfectly. The game is really fun and looks very polished and professional for 48 hrs! Cant believe the quality and amount of content for such a small period of time. Great work man. Looking forward to giving a good rating.

Nice game and very nice graphics! Only one thing: The gems looked like underpants to me:D

It was intresting, I was a little lost but got somewhere.

Fun game and great music! When I restarted the music disappeared.

I wasn't able to finish the blob's perspective, because the game crashes after I hit the first green switch. There also seemed to be some issues with the music not stopping or starting at the appropriate times, so I started the second perspective with the boss music still running (not that I'm complaining- it's really good music.) The gameplay is deceptively challenging, and there's a surprising amount of content here for something made in 48 hours. Overall, I enjoyed this experience quite a lot.

Crashes instantly upon entering the overworld

Sorry about the crashing issues, folks. I've been playtesting for a bit myself and have gotten them as well. They're pretty much due to the lack of familiarity with the audio .dll I'm using. Might end up switching it out for something else if this keeps up.

Anyway, hopefully the most recent version is better.

Great game dude! I rate it 5 stars!

Enjoyed playing this.

That was great!

Pretty good game.

Has nothing to do with the theme though, so it's pretty hard to believe you just did this in 48 hours. If you did then take this as a compliment I guess. If not then you're kind of undermining the whole point of Ludum Dare.

Very nice. I absolutely adore the music! The controls are smooth.

Fun little game! I like the enemies and the different "views". You did a good job!

I'm amazed at how much content there is. Varied tiles, enemies, locations... This is really cool, probably the best game I've played so far this compo. If you pulled this off in just 48 hours, you really know how to manage your time!

Having tried to make an exploratory game myself, this really puts my entry to shame :D

Very nice level design and gameplay. You can tell a lot of time went into polishing this. Well done!

Cute game. Really liked the graphics and audio and I just enjoyed exploring the world you created. Nice work.

Superb visuals and excellent game design. this game could have easily gone down the generic path but it did not. It reminds me of Zelda in a way. Only problem is that the music cuts out at times (when you die and respawn, when you go underground). This game is also the longest here I've played so far. You could probably get several hours out of this. I did not even finish the first perspective!

Good work with the music and the sprites. The controls are a bit problematic if you have a german keyboard layout like me because the Y and Z Keys are swapped here and therefore X isn't next to Z. Keep that in mind for future games :)

Thommy:

Thanks for the heads up, apologies for that. I always try to program customizeable controls into my games but usually don't have enough time to make an interface for changing them. If you open the file in the game's directory that says 'Settings', try changing the value of 'Shoot' to 89. That should fix things for you.

Yay! An action-rpg! Definitely my favorite LD entry I've played so far. Very polished, and damn, the game is HUGE! Lots of variety in scenery and enemies too. If I could change one thing though, it'd be to make the run speed a little higher. I'm impatient damnit, I want to explore faster!

Unbelievable for 48 hours. Very nice!

Awesome game! Love the graphics and the music! :)

Really nice game, well designed and with a good music, it's impressive in only 48h!

Plays very nice, has some cute music and gfx, didn't played much further though to understand the connection with the theme. I broke some boulder in a cave, next screen and then back and couldn't break it again, so I was trapped.

WOW!
I love the different views idea, actually it is really fun!
So lucky that I find a secret path to continue going, and fight the boss, got his view.
Good job!! :D

And I got a little same feeling of "Nier Replicant".

Heheh, funny that I can play as a couple of enemies. Very nice work!

Even though they were shorter, I liked having the alternate perspectives, particularly the boss character. Very interesting story bit with just that little bit of text. Other than the music not loading after I died, I didn't experience any problems with the game.

Very nice game (although I don't see well how it relates to the compo theme)! Graphics are cute and map is large.
Aiming at monsters is a bit difficult sometimes.
Well done overall!

I lOVE the different perspectives aspect of it. It would be fantastic if you were able to expand on those. Really enjoyed the game, and I think it had a very classic feel to the gameplay and the graphics. Great work!
