December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
This is a puzzle game.
It's christmas morning and you only got one present. To get more you break into houses and steal the presents of other children.
To achieve that you have to collect keys to open doors, or to open safes using codes.
By the way: this was the very first Ludum Dare game I made :)

I am error guy was a nice touch (binding of isaac?)
Your game is finished, solid and obviously playtested. Maybe a little bit easy (although I got stuck once in a toilet). Well done!
Fun game. I was really confused after the first round, because it said "To be continued" so I thought the game was over and then it said "Esc to reset" but Esc didn't do anything. Then I realized it was just a tip screen lol.
I'm not one for puzzle games, but this seemed very competent and I played it through to the end. Mechanics wise I felt like I was winning through brute force and ignorance, losing to gotchas, but if that's your thing then this is great. You do a good job of building up the mechanics and difficulty step wise though.
Graphics and audio are nicely done and solid. Controls are nice enough for the job. Played it through to the end and was left feeling complete. Good job!
Love the graphics and the puzzles.. Controls were a bit annoying, when walking through doors I alway hit the wall at least twice XD
Anyaway, great game! :)
It's nice game but couldn't get the connection with the theme :)
@windwalkerranger It's in the story. The guy "only gets one" gift for Christmas ;D
@zorfmorf originally it was an easter egg in "Zelda II" but Binding of Isaac has it as well.
Nice one! Nice play on the theme and nice visuals. The sounds are a bit "simple" but they match the overall style. One suggestion though, allow movement in diagonals if two direction keys are pressed at once, this would make it quite a bit more playable.
Great use of the theme for this one. I really like this game and the art, though not the best, does a good job at setting everything.
This game is very long. I don't think I found any bugs. But a challenge would have been nice, something like the kids looking around in the room and you have to sneak in to get the presents without them noticing. But You have made a solid game!
@d_0o_d I really wanted to do that but I had no time left...
Thank you! :)
Not bad at all. The game runs very smoothly, and the graphics are simple yet effective. Graphically speaking, the only thing I would look into is making the standard wooden doors "pop out" from the floor - I generally only saw them after I bounded off of them a time or two.
It would be nice to have a visual inventory showing which keys/cards that you have. Strafing would also be a nice touch :)
Thanks for putting this together, and good work!
Well done on your first LD! This is mine too. :) Good use of the theme!
Nicely, done. I got stuck in level 10 or so when I found no further keys in the toilet where i used a key for.
Very good work for the short time.
Very simple and nice game, but a little short. Keep working to achieve something bigger next time! ;-)
The controls are a little fiddly, but otherwise the execution is good. Needs sound though.
Pretty solid entry for your first one.
You really got into the spirit of christmas I see ;)
I agree that there is a lot of content. It just needs a bit of sound.
At first I thought that you couldn't do anything wrong, but later on I found out that you could and I did.
The thing I would change next time: it looks like the character can't fit through the doors, movement was a bit hard. Like other people who commented on my game: if you have to walk around a lot, better make it fast.
Ahh, my wrist... Somehow the set of keys you chose felt very uncomfortable. Diagonals would also have been nice.
Otherwise lots of content and humour. Good use of the theme.
I loved this game. So simple, but a lot of content in it. I didn't like the character art, but all the other art was great.
@Custard Games yep, characters are pretty hard to draw for me.
I always get problems with that.
Wow, this is actually quite an impressive game! I really like the puzzle aspect of the game and I actually messed up levels a few times. It was a little bit easy though, and the controls could have been improved slightly, but for your first Ludum Dare it's very good, congrats :D
Nice puzzle game - and great work on your first Ludum Dare! :)
It was good how your started simple and introduced more elements as the game proceeded.
I sometimes found the wooden doors looked too similar to the floor so a couple of times I thought the corridor was clear and suspected your collision detection was bugged but then I realised I just couldn't see the brown-on-brown door!
Also it would be nice to have a HUD telling me how many keys I have, which coloured cards, etc.
Overall though, very well done!
Nice first entry, I like the game very much. Sometimes the doors are a bit hard to see, because of the similarity to the floor. Some music would have been nice. But overall a nice game.

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 am error guy made me feel a bit unconfortable. Then Santa with socks made me cry!
Cool game. :D
