[rogberth]

I thought about that, but I was just to lazy.
Anyway, there is a easy way to get through, keep trying XD
Thanks for the comments

Knite: I don't feel like downloading shit to run it atm, but looks fun.

Rogberth: Great, really good! Loved how the fish was still in the ending saying that one thing. he should've been fat tho.

Andy: nice outline graphics, gameplay was pretty fun too, annoying movement but that made it challenging

[Ekamdu]

so i made some concept picture in paint for flying chainsaw... takes me roughly an hour
(btw i never make concept, i seriously suck at it. look it doesnt even have shading or something!
oh wait it does a bit)
and then i save it as .jpg!!  :-X

im such an idiot
anyway it took me about 40 minutes to remake it, and its not as cool as it used to be
so here it is:

[Ekamdu]

Haha jw great little piece. Made a new record  :monocle:

And mirosurabu, No Legs is pretty fun little game! Basic graphics, but not bad at all. Good idea.

Here comes the comment wall:

Sad Moon Mission~ Really impressive for 75 minutes man; don't know how you do it. The way the little guy flips in the air is too cute.

Where is my wife?~ Sad to say, I killed myself many times before even finding my wife (I totally failed at jumping), so this wound up being even more tragic than I thought it would be! Great little platformer.

SAQRIFIZE~ My eyes hurt in a good way. I liked how you had to jump in order to check and see where those spike things were. Really enjoyed this one, and the ending was funny.

Sword Calibre~ Awesome!

Short Story~ Love the main character, and wow, it really got to my head after a while. I still feel like the room is rotating. LOL

If You Really Want It, You Can Fly~ This just made my day!

Brave Space Men~ Hey, that was really fun! The little cut-scenes were great.

Hopeless~ Scary... The beasts cornered me first thing in the game; managed to blast them, but then I was eaten to death by others, so it ended tragically. Great game.

Timmy Timmy Timmy~ Haha! Nice one. Don't know if this was already pointed out or not, but if you press down, the main character becomes invisible.

Cell Shot~ I like the style. Fun little shooter.

The One Hour Tragedy~ I got by the errors. Sometimes after giving the child another star, the father still walks slowly as if he's holding a star, but if you press down again, he goes back to being fast. Pretty neat little game (I'm not sure if I really got to see all of it or not because of the errors). The ending (?) was depressing.

Sad~ Wow, one of the levels was pretty frustrating. I really liked this one.

CASTLELOLIA~ Argh, the boss tricked me! That was hard, but fun.

WEIGHT PROBLEM MONSTER~ That was truly tragic... Poor fat monster... Great idea guys!

Flying Chainsaw~ OMG, what did they do to that awesome pink chainsaw?! 'Twas fun.

Signs > Read~ Hempuli, that was awesome. Reminded me of a rom hack or something. And, oh yeah, I'm supposed to brag about finding the real ending, so brag brag brag and a little more brag.

Run Like Crazy~ Hectic, but I won/lost! The expression on the guy's face was priceless.

Spirit Tunnel~ I have to hand it to ya Andy, that graphic style was really nice. I especially liked the explosions. I ran into a wall and died. LOL

Sad Sea~ I totally stink at this game! Very cute though.

SUPER JAIL ESCAPER~ Amusing. I only got to 200 meters.

N O L E G S~ Pretty fun, and I like the effects. It's a little frustrating when the character gets stuck on the walls.

[im9today]

put all the links in the first post i'm too lazy for dis shit

[Hempuli]

Not until we have them all!

Knite, that was a nice mashup

[thernz]

Sword Calibre~ Awesome!

As if it counts as an entry, psh.

[QOG]

also Sad is awesome very hard but very fun

thanks. i will probably expand it at some point.

[QOG]

Cell Shot~ I like the style. Fun little shooter.
Sad~ Wow, one of the levels was pretty frustrating. I really liked this one.

thanks. has anyone found glitches in cell shot? i didn't have time to playtest much.

[Knite]

As if it counts as an entry, psh.

I don't really care if it does or not, I still meant what I said. Both of my entries are way over the time limit since I'm sooooooo slow.

thanks. has anyone found glitches in cell shot? i didn't have time to playtest much.

The only thing I really had the opportunity to notice was that the collision between the bullets and the bubbles didn't really seem very... I don't know, accurate? I could be imagining things though, so don't pay too much attention.


Okay, so anyway, I can't believe this really, but I got the chance to make another little game. I think this compo has been especially motivating for me since the time limit is so short. Once I crossed the two hour line, I figured I may as well go back and make some of the graphics a bit more attractive than they were, so my dev time went up to 2 hours and 54 minutes... Hope you like it.

Determined Stones of Great Size Seek a Helpless Bird


Download

Avoid the flying growing rocks of doom for as long as you can!
Controls:
Escape ~ Quit
Hold Left Mouse Button ~ Fly
R (on the ending score screen) ~ Play Again

I already said it before, but you wouldn't believe how many times I have to tell people this... If you can't play it, you may want to try downloading the latest version of Construct from here which will update your DirectX with what you need in order to play this game.

Edit: Don't press the "R" key (to play the game again) during the room transition between the playing field (after the bird dies) and the ending score screen, 'cause the game will freeze up. There isn't any way for me to fix that other than just taking out the transition animation altogether, because it's just a little glitch in Construct itself. So yeah, just wait for the circular transition to finish before hitting "R".
