I shipped this today, right as the ludum dare theme was announced :y
It's short so you can even play it when taking a break from jammin'~~

That is really creative. I love that there is absolutely no instruction. I have no idea what I'm suppose to do.

But man, that crash sound. It is so incredibly irritating. It's too much. It's like, you took the "let's make an irritating sound" knob and cranked it to 37, then turned it up, then pitch shifted it to fingernails-on-chalkboard level.

It's the only thing that hints "indie" to me. That god damn horrible sound.

How will others control this if even you can't?

[DangerMomentum]

Very carefully.



It's not impossible, you can try it here to see for yourself.

This is super simple and a lot of fun. :D

12 Hour Ludum Dare Entry - CRUSH



No adventurer is ever to be without his hat*.

*Except when he needs to use it to avoid being crushed to death.

Steal treasure and stop giant walls of spikes with your trusty hat.

But watch out! It may stop traps, but it won't last forever!

Make sure to plonk it back on your head so it stays in good nick.

Hahahaha that's hilarious

Finally made the "breakable" objects actually break.

[Torchkas]

The perspective is really weird. It looked like a platformer at first sight.
The shadows also don't make much sense.

[standardcombo]

I concur, it seems like everything is floating. Also, what are the bright spears that shoot out of the character all sonic-coins like?

[Saturator]

I thought the shadows were some sort of smoke platforms on the first glance. I like the art otherwise, though.

[sqrbt]

Thanks for feedback, guys!

I think the weird perspective look is mainly caused be the floor, no? It doesn't have the depth you'd expect.
And yeah, the shadows aren't great, a lot of people have been pointing that out lately... Not sure what to do about that, really. I was trying to get away with the kind fake shadows you'd see in older games like Diablo II. It's cheap and I didn't think it looked too bad but I'm starting to realise I was wrong on that. (Any suggestions on that btw?)

Also, the bright spheres is a passive ability that was being triggered (% chance to shoot out holy bolts on nearby targets [enemies/breakables] upon dealing damage basically).

Anyway, thanks guys

EDIT: Sorry for the numerous misspellings and left out words, it's been a rough morning. Anyways, a good thing to remember is that generally things get darker as they get closer to the ground (as a result of moving further from light sources). So unless you've got some ground-based lights or some heavy ambient lighting it is usually pretty safe to shade downwards (i.e. the top is lighter the bottom is darker).

@sqrbt: With the vases screenshot the biggest issue's not the lighting but just that perspective is not the same throughout... walls look 45 degrees (what you're probably going for  ), but the floor is top down 0 degrees and the vases and character are nearly 90 degrees/platformer perspective.
