The Greatest Thing
by PBG
My entry for the ludum dare 48 jam. Go on a pitfall-esque adventure in search of the greatest thing ever.
Arrow keys to move, Z/C jump, X/V carry things.
hotfix1 - fixed softlock in climbing room
hotfix2 - decided not to be a jerk and gave back key repeating by holding a button
Got stuck here :/ The chain doesn't let me jump high enough. I'll hide it to not spoil anything.
@FlyingSmog Thanks for the catch. You got pretty unlucky. Should be fixed.
For what it is worth, if you want to give it another go, you are pretty close to the end.
hahahaha yeah, some bad luck there.
After another try, I've managed to get to... an ending?
Pretty neat game! Thanks for sharing :D
@FlyingSmog sounds like you got it. Thats kind of the reaction i was going for. Glad someone was able to finish it! thanks for playing!
Very good game, but if you jump high enough at the start of the caste, you can wall jump out of bounds. The screen destroys itself with the sprits, and if you venture too far you will fall into the abyss, have a seizure, and die. Great secret detailing the problems with the housing crisis of 2008, 10/10
I have no idea on how to hold the object and get anywhere because the object keeps automatically jumping out of the hands of the character could anyone give me a hint?
@GeKStudios That is supposed to happen. It is, by design, extremely annoying.
I'm meaning to revisit this and smooth down some of the frustrating aspects. But you are indeed playing the game as intended. You really need to plan out your path, particularly underwater.
One tip - you can swim just by holding the button, you don't need to mash it.
A very strange game, that since I never got to the end of it I wonder if I understood the point of it. I didn't understand the logic of why when you pick up an object it suddenly leaps from your hands, nor when you change screens again the object could leap from your hands and most frustratingly of all, force you have to have to repeat do the previous screen again. And sometimes the completion of a screen felt like blind luck.
