December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
You are Mikes toy, abandoned in a dark place with only yourself as alight source. You are trying to escape, but the only way out seems to be to reach the purple platforms.
Luckily, you are given a set of tools. Too bad there's only one of each... Looks like you only get one.
-- Execution --
If you are on windows, just run the *.exe!
If it's not working, it's most likely because you are running 32bit Windows. Go to https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/ and download love-0.8.0-winx86.exe
If you are on mac or linux, you just need to download love2d (version 0.8 not 0.9!) from https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/ then run the following:
love {path to mikestoy.love}
It is also most likely that you can find love in your Linux repository.
-- Controls --
You move with a and d.
You can jump with the spacebar.
You can use the hook by holding the left mouse button.
You can use the jetpack by holding the right mouse button.
Have fun playing!

The game inexplicably freezes for me (Linux Mint 12.04). I got to level 2 the first attempt, then only made it to level 1 when I reloaded. Had to kill the process in order to close the game.
@MarekkPie I'm sorry, I had no chance to test it on linux, I just assumed it would work. Are you sure you have love 0.8 installed? Did you get an error message? Did you install love 0.8 from the repos?
Nicely done. Level 5 can be done with just the hook, as it turned out, you only need one. ;) Unfortunately the app froze on me then so I didn't see level 6.
The game froze when I beat level 10. Interesting game. The hook is cool, but it would be nice if it drew a line from you to the hook while you were flying around.
Really fun! I love the style, maybe a soundtrack could complete the atmosphere
I really had fun, but it crashed just after I beat level two. :<
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!
Fun, but I can move the end just next me when I press the key "I" and click ;)
I had a lot of fun with this. It seems to freeze at level 10 (as one other commenter said). Overall, really fun. Good job!
I enjoyed finishing the game, puzzles are a nice change of pace. I would recommend being a bit more careful with your sounds, that (very sudden) level end sound was quite loud compared to most other games here.
Fun game, good use of the theme and puzzle platformer mechanics, loads really slow for what it is though.
Thanks for the feedback, I fixed the point, where you could move the end. I'm sorry, but I don't know what's causing the crash...
I got an error, not much to go on I'm afraid: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) ..."
Very nice entry. I really liked the level where I hurdle myself across the gap with the hook. I'd love to see more of this.
Game froze as I beat level 5, though.
This was very well done, with solid controls. Better explanation of the controls would help, and a few more levels would make this game awesome post compo!
I might have fixed the crash issue, though I can't say for certain, because I am not able to reproduce it...
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit
0xc0000007b again :( I had the same problem with my game originally, it's usually because SDL and your application are linking with different MSVC runtimes. Hope that helps :/
The game looks good, with moody lighting and plays well.
The hook I found difficult to use, though.
I really like the simplicity of the graphics. The gameplay was a lot of fun too. Nice work!
Very fun. I died 46 times. Btw, level 5 can be solved without the jump.
Crashed on me after level one. But really cool concept. I liked the lighting effects.

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
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.
Hmmm, a little bit confusing at first (well level 2), but fun overall!
