Description

Help Ulmo evade enemies, collect coins and find his way to the end of an amazing (but short) adventure.

This game started life as an experiment to see if I could implement a pseudo 3D gameworld in a top-down 2D style - you can see this in the way that sprites can move behind or under stuff. Following that, I had lofty ambitions to turn it into a Zelda-style RPG, but I soon realised that I didn't have the necessary time or talent! Nonetheless, it's a playable game and the gameworld itself has a pleasing physicality to it I think.

Graphics were created in Gimp, sounds in CFXR. I also wrote a Map Editor for it in Java SWT which is available from the project site.

Use cursor keys to move, space to 'do stuff', X to toggle sound and ESC to quit.

Changes

Now featuring new content, a bigger play window, level drops and (by popular demand) CHECKPOINTS! Some bits are also slightly easier than they were before.

Wohoo, Finally something hard! :) Still stuck at the second cave... can't seem to time it right. Anyways, fun to see something like this. Surely inspired me :)

Bitcraft, that's odd because the majority of this game has been developed on OSX and I haven't ever seen that before. What versions of OSX/python/pygame are you on? Mine are 10.6.8/2.6.5/1.9.1, although I have tested it against older versions of pygame in the past.

Looks cool so far. One note, on OS X, transparency bugs out and there are green borders around everything in version 0.92. Keep it up!

Too difficult for me, sorry, however i like it. One point : the key shine not enough (i understood the shining after look the frames in png file). Best regard betaboy ;)

The difficulty level is partly a homage to the old arcade classics, but it also hides the fact that the game is currently very short! Still, it would be fairly easy to add checkpoints. Just out of interest, has anyone here got to the end?

cool game, but too hard for me. =) maybe add checkpoints or something?

I can't past the cave after the door with the key, so much beetles...

Thanks for the positive comments. When I started this project I had no idea how time-consuming it would turn out to be - it's good to get some feedback at last! And thanks to Zachariah for creating a .deb package. :-)

Nicely constructed. Clearly I need better keyboard skills, though. I can't get past the bug outside the first cave.
