Description
Note: This game was made for Ludum Dare 26 and it's buggy. Also it is very hard but this is intentional.
Simplify is a game inspired by games overloaded with skills
The game focus is to make itself more minimalistic.
The mechanic is quite simple: everytime you win, you are forced to drop one of your skills. To win, just reach the empty room at the right of the map.
Less deaths means more skill !
Good luck ^_^

This game is nice but does need some fixing.

I love the idea of a game focussing on whether one needs every possible skill imaginable. However the game is a bit hard to play atm. Try to have some start up tutorial or something (really short) which explains the possible skill (just text is fine). This way you know which key does what. Secondly, it's a bit annoying that you die on every side of a green object. The first up and down blocks would make more sense if you die when being squashed instead of touch its side (also some kind of shadow to know where it lands would be nice). But the most crucial thing is moving while jumping. I understand the idea behind it, but it makes jumping very hard to do, especially when going up to reach a new floor its very hard to move sideways without charging. Maybe you could have it set more like walking on ground?
Keep up the good work, loving the idea but its just not the best gameplay atm.

seems buggy - gets stuck on the screen that shows the available controls :/ seems promising otherwise

Controls are way too skittish
