You open doors by pressing the down arrow key.
P.S. Did you view the controls, there should be a controls button.
Interesting story. I didn't get much use out of my Martian. I may not have made it far enough. Music could use a little work too :) Also, the fonts were hard to read on my box.
Teesquared, the use of the Martian actually has NO effect in the game. He is just a messenger to report if you died.
And Teesquared, the reason the music wasn't that great was because I kind of had to rush it because I was running out of time.
Cool ! I completed it ! It was hard with the blue flames ;)
The game is ok, not bad but a bit generic. I think the main issue is the graphics (MS Paint?). Also, I'm not sure why the Martian is levitating on top of the screen, doing nothing, since you can restart with R. But everyone has to begin somewhere, so congrats for the effort!
So it looks like you can win the game in 5 levels regardless of which door your take. And the coins and the martian have no purpose, correct? For future games, especially Ludum Dare ones, make sure that you focus on getting a well rounded game over the number of levels. I have seen games on LD that have 2 minutes of gameplay and rank really high.
I think you have a nice concept here. Definitely plan out the purpose of the coins and the martian. It would be neat if you had levers or sensors or lasers up high that the martian could interact with while the man was on the ground. For the coins, you might need to get 20 coins (or whatever) before a door will lead you to a stage with a rock. You have a nice premise to the game with your introduction, but the story has no involvement in the actual gameplay. Work on these things (and the graphics, of course) and you will have a killer game on your hands. Good start and nice job finishing up a game on time.
Congrats for finishing your first LD! You've already beat 90% of people just by making something :)
MS Paint graphics. Kudos on recording some music but it's fairly annoying. Gameplay doesn't make any sense to me.
It works and that's the best thing I can say about this entry. Better luck next time.

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.
How should I open that doors? I was completely lost :(
P.S. Seems like it's your first Ludum Dare. Congratulations!
