[Platformer, hard] The art of dying
« on: January 10, 2014, 16:30:20 »
Type: Platformer

Description:
The art of dying is a pretty neat platformer with a nice level editor.
Every level has enemies and boxes that drop coins, when you have enough coins a door opens that takes you to the next level. The gameplay is largely based on movement and the key to success in the game is to learn how to move smoothly.
The game was made to be hard, and as usual that implies the game is crazy hard. It's a short game though with a really nice soundtrack, so I recommend giving it a go.

It's made by Dkh/doorknobhandle/NihilStarcraft. He's a great guy who often helps other indie developers (including myself) with programming. When making this game he went through the intricasies of the engine in a series of youtube videos. You can find all of them in the thread linked below.

"Try to" is more like it :P

I made a small game in a week for a competition though. Probably my best game xD It's in my description if you're interested.
