Nice game. the only problem I had was losing keys. I would pick up a key and go to open a lock and they key would be gone (this was on the level with the monster that would shoot in 4 directions)
Reviews for "Mono Caves"
I started to play the game with much hope that it would be a great game, which actually is in some sort of way.
The frontpage, when beginning the game, really should have some information on what the controls are like, and maybe a little background information on what the story of the character is.
For example "Binding of Isaac" also has a background story.
The music is legit and has some fun tunes, thats why I don't understand the comments about the music below.
And the retro look of the game also is kind of cool.
Keep up the good work, but you definately should take much more time creating a game!
You get 4/5 stars because listed up some information on how you created your gameand 3/5 rating points!
Well constructed game. Very stable and certainly enjoyable to play. It feels good to play it, keyboard and all.
There isn't much variation throughout the game, but for LD you wouldn't expect the equivalent of a literary epic or anything of the sort.
And I have a question for Jools:
Did you make the music for this game? And if so, was it within the same 48-hour period as the game was developed in?
Jools64 responds:
Thanks!
I did make the music and it was within the last 30 minutes of the competition. ;)
Overall it was a good game the felling accomplishment was great at the end! I got a key at the end from the boss what was it for anyway?
Jools64 responds:
Thanks!
It was actually gonna unlock a lock to the end of the level but I felt like it might have made the level too hard and frustrate people so I made him optional. Just a last minute change that I didn't get time to really implement properly. Ideally I would have made a proper reward for beating the boss or made the level smaller and kept the lock.
Interesting game, I really liked the simple design. Your choice of using black and white only was a good idea, very well done.
