Extreme Edit: This game CAN be played in 2021 and later, but some research that could potentially start from the provided link, is required: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1462882


This is my entry for the Stencyl Jam 2014 contest.


EDIT: Well. I'm now pretty much done with the "story" part of this game, so I'm adding that in this update. I would still want to add a level select, but if I do that, it will be after the contest!


Finally, it's done! Kinda...

I had to reach the deadline, so I had to leave some things undone. I've worked really hard on this over the past month, even if I had my matriculation exams in between. Also, this is actually my first game ever, so because of that, I'm pretty proud; I've learned a lot! You can read a bit more about the game here:

IF YOU'RE STUCK ON THE SAME LEVEL AS EVERYONE ELSE then click that same link. In one of the comments I spoiled how you solve that level. Good luck ;)


Also, due to popular demand, a video tutorial (of some quality) can finally be found on youtube! Read more in the youtube description XD

INSTRUCTIONS:


-Arrow keys to move, jump with the 'up' arrow key. You jump higher if you hold the key.


-You can climb the walls. That's right, you don't even need to walljump, you'll go upwards if you jump when on a wall.


-You can slide down walls by moving against them. You'll also jump extra far if you press 'up' along with a directional arrow key, at the same time!


-If you're in game (not the title/menu etc) you can pause with 'p'.


-Press 'r' to restart.


-Mute sfx with 's'.


-Mute music with 'm'.


(The mute buttons can be troublesome every now and then, so don't play with them too much)...


And yes, all the levels are very possible.

Everything is made by me: The "programming", the music, the "art", the sound effects (some using presets, though), the level design; even the font XD


This might still have some bugs, so if you spot any, tell me, and I'll see what I can do. You can ask me any other question, as well.


If you're gaming experience is laggy, try right clicking and selecting "low" quality. It shouldn't change much at all, but the game might run smoother.


Extra special news: If you want to read about some stuff I've done in the past, apart from the great Newgrounds, check out my blog!

I've written tons of weird stuff over there :p


EDIT: I added a few new medals. If you've already completed the game, you should be able to get them all by loading the game and beating the final level again!


Even if this project is still 'slightly' unfinished, I hope you'll take some time to rate honestly, and maybe even write a review!


Anyhow. The contest is now done, and this game finished on 4th place! Congratz to all the other winners, and thanks to all of you, for such an awesome Stencyl Jam 2014!


Thank you for your attention, and thanks for playing ;)
