Tour on the Underworld

Hey, thanks for playing my game :) Yeah, limiting erasing power wasn't good idea... Btw, I used surfaces and collision is made with "Surface get Color"

There is cheat code for more points, hold backspace and repeatly press numpad+ for more points, 36 points and portal appears when touch the skull.

Hi, thanks for the feedback :) I'll go check your game in a moment.

You can cheat to see outro by holding Backspace and repeatly pressing Numpad+ for more points. Repeat until you reach 35 or more, and then touch the skull, portal back to the surface appears ;)

Yeah, sorry about lack of istructions, I thought it would break immersion if I had to explicitly tell player ingame how to play. Secondly I just didn't have time to put any ^^" So "the guide" is here in gamejam-page.

I thought I fixed the problem (skull spawning too hight/low) before uploading the game, but dix didn't work or I just forgot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hi, thanks for the feedback :)

I did not find mere timer on the corner appealing, and I wanted player to feel the pressure of time running out. Visual and audio clues worked, but as afterthoght I would have made different runes appearing around the player representating the curse before it is finally casted.

If you want to see short outro: Hold Backspace and repeatly press Numpad+ to get more points ;)

Hey, thanks for playing my game :)

The game has cheat: Hold Backspace and repeatly press Numpad+ to get more points, in case you did not complete the game (:

Thanks :) Hey, if you want to complete the game and see short outro, you can cheat with Backspace and Numpad+ to get more points. I tried to mention this before on Twitter, so it could be included on video ^^

Well done, and thanks for the feedback :) Had fun making the audio, I got no musical talent, but samething basic beat which gives feeling that time is running.

Here are my comments on issues:

First problem was something, which is not easy to fix, as the player itself accidently draws hooks where can get stuck. Something which rounds up small details could have worked, I dunno how to make it.

Secondly, I thought I fixed skull getting too high or low, well maybe forgot to do that "\/( ' - ' )\/"

Thirdly, black smog spawns, I thought they were bad too and I was going to fix them if I had spare time. Initially they were even worse, spawning immediatly below player when he caught skull (it disorientated player). Now the platform appears at same time when skull reappears, just below skull's previous position. Better solution would have been platform appearing only when player falls and disappears after player has stood on drawing for awhile.

Thanks for the feedback :) I'll try your game soon.

There is also short outro, if you want to see it, hit Backspace and Numpad+ for more points, if otherwise you couldn't pass ;)

Hey, thanks for playing the game :) I'll try your game soon.

If you want to escape the Underworld, you can also cheat with Backspace and Numpad+ ;) There is short outro.

Thanks for playing the game and it is nice to hear you liked it :) Not sure if you beat it, but if you want to see ending outro, Backspace and Numpad+ for more points ^^ I had some problems first with collision not being forgiving enough, until I decided to make player collision just being a point. Therefore, if there is even a small gap, you can go from there.

Hey, thanks for the feedback :)

You can cheat with Backspace and Numpad+ ;) There is short outro also.

From game design philosophy point I wanted to player have almost full control, and the challenges are basically created by player. Different playstyle creates different challenges, planning might help, you have 30 seconds in the beginning, shortening to 5 seconds eventually. Drawings falling speed starts increasing somewhere from 20 points, until 40 points hitting max speed.

First I thought having different rooms and previous drawings would be there, but things which kills you. I think current design is more elegant :)

Hey thanks for the feedback, HTML5 version is not currently working, noticed same bug. In Windows vesrion the paths will not expire, but they start to fall slowly.

Edit. Aw nuts, you cannot upload newer version. Anyways, moving drawings code does not work in HTML5, and because slow framerate issues I would have downgraded graphics and sound.

Thanks :) If you did not finish the game, 36 is magic number before door appears ;)

About the development, first I thought you wouldn't try touch evil spirit, but you would try get to door, which would bring you next room. Next room would have previous drawings but as red hot and you shouldn't touch them. Current way worked better, gets pretty hectic towards end.
