Blue's World - matt9837 - Jam Entry
You MAY require the Visual Studio 2010 runtime!
DEV NOTE:
Well, this is what I could muster up amid school projects, homework, and other obligations. So firstly: Thank you for playing my game! I know I submitted this rather early, but it's all because I MEANT to enter the Compo, then decided that I would rather enter the Jam due to a multitude of reasons:
1: SDL Mixer decided it didn't want to work, so no sound could be used.
2: I just didn't put as much effort as I would have if LD23 took place during Summer. So I'll put a good run in for LD24!
3: Motivation and ideas were lacking around the midway point
I had fun, of course! I wouldn't have finished at all had I not.
Also, this is another game that'll hopefully add up to that goal of 1000! We can do it, guys!
For those interested in the source: My header file setup is weird, I know, but SDL wasn't looking to cooperate for whatever reason, so that's how it turned out.

Pretty standard platformer. Could've used some more challenges.
Simple graphics, But challenging levels, wich made it into a good game, Also awesome level changes!
The lack of music is a real let down, otherwise this is a very nice and clean game.
Well done.
Simple graphics but genius design on a platform game! I just don't see how this fits the theme. Anyways, nice effort! :)
While the game itself doesn't have anything flashy or special, the platforming itself was done pretty well.
Is a good essential platformer, but I think it needs more challenges.
I got through to the end but the camera movement was killing me.
Pretty nice game, I like the platformer/maze combo but the camera was a bit hard to follow. Gameplay was sometimes great, with bell balanced jump sometimes frustrating (when you have the roof stopping you from really controlling a jump for example). Definitely a nice entry to could lead to something great if improved !
Ah, cubes! They hold a special place in my heart :) Loved the "small" feel of the game, which added complexity to it. There were a few times where the controls didn't quite seem to respond, but I'll just chalk that up to my own fault. Would love to hear a little 8-bit tune to accompany the game, along with maybe some story text at the top/bottom of the screen to begin each level? Just some thoughts! Thanks for making and sharing this!
I think it needs something that makes it different in the platformer genre. Very playable, good gameplay, only the jumps at the top borders kind of move the screen too fast.

Nice game, fun to play. I just miss music/sounds and more levels :)
Needed to turn of the antivirus-program to play it, hope you did not include any virus ;)
