Very nice game. A few things to note though. 1) The wall hug that allows you to jump off walls sometimes gets in the way of what your trying to do in an intense moment. 2) The ending was a little dissapointing, the way the game was flowing i was kinda in the mind set that something terrible would be revealed at the end. Now although that didnt happen, the actual ending just didn't have enough to it i was kinda hopeing to see him actually rejoin with his family instead of it just implying he did. 3) Maybe add a few checkpoints in the really difficult areas. I mean one reason that i almost stopped playing a few times is that i would do some really crazy shit and then have to redo it cause i accidentaly screwed up before there was another checkpoint. 4) Forget #2 while typing this the credits were rolling and i heard the music shift so i looked up at the game screen. Ending is no longer dissapointing at all =D

A couple suggestions: 1. Remappable keys. I found straddling space shift and R to be pretty darn awkward. 2. Recap all text bubbles the player activated at the end of the level. I can't dodge, plan my next jump and speed read at the same time.

Could be a great game... The play control was horrible. I can't count how many times I pressed jump and nothing happened. The wall jump mechanic was also horribly broken. This is not forgivable in a platformer.

The game just got updated (v1.0.3)!
Again, thanks everyone for the feedback! You're helping us a lot! You guys are awesome! =)

We're working on an update! It will probably resolve the movement issues! It will be live soon! Thanks all for the feedback! =)

Nice game. However, I'd like it if there were a key to prioritize double-jump over wall-jump instead. Say, up arrow double-jumps and if it can't, wall jumps, and space bar wall-jumps and if it can't, double jumps.

1.0.2 seems to have improved the responsiveness of the controls to a decent enough level. Thanks or looking into that and fixing it -- it's great to see a developer respond so quickly to problems raised by the players. Unfortunately, level 3 is so frustratingly hard that I'm still not interested in the game but, hey, there'll be people who don't like it whatever you do. I look forward to seeing more of your games.

Besides the problem with running jumps I also think that he should not automatically stick to walls. Instead he should only grab it when the the key in that direction is pressed and release as soon as the button is released.

my first rage quit in years, don`t make the char glue on wall just by touching it, every game in the world requires you to keep button pressed so you don`t slow your fall speed without your desire.

I really want to like this game. I made it through all the forest levels, which, while took some frustration, were playable. But it seems like, even with the quality set to low, the further along you make it, the less responsive the controls are. I invented some interesting and new profanity in the butcher levels.

very hard, but really great game. the way he moves reminds me somehow of megaman. the controls were a bit hard to manage, i died like 100 times in parts where i felt that i pressed the right buttons at the right time, but yeah its a hard game 5/5

Change the jump key to up and you've got a decent game. Hitting x or space over and over starts getting really annoying.

I was having a good time for a while, but any game with an active death counter and tons of cheap deaths is a huge turnoff.

Dear TawStudio, this game is amazing, briliant. It reminds me playing old school shi* when I was 10. It's not "that" hard, there is no particuliar demand, I'm a hardcore player :)

This is the first game since meatboy that's made me hit my computer, ragequit for a couple of minutes only to return and repeat the process. I LOVE IT! But there is two things that really annoy me (except for the fact that I obviously suck at platformers):
1: I don't like to miss any of the story, but when I hurry to avoid spikes and such the bubbles dissappear before I can read them.
2. WALLJUMP LAG! Driving me insane! I press space, but do I jump? NO! Gah!

Even after 1.0.35 update, wall jump just makes me abandon this game. I was able to navigate levels masterfully before I picked up this upgrade, but now I'm always sticking to every vertical surface I come across. I would suggest decreasing the time it takes to cancel out of the wall slide, but that might make wall jumping trickier. Dunno, but it definitely needs some kind of fix.

why does this game kinda remind me of Tomba! but with Diablo music or maybe one reminiscent of some Buckethead. decent stuff tho.

I have to say, this is one of the best games of this style that I've played. The difficulty is right in the sweet zone where it's hard and frustrating but not so hard that an average player can't do it with enough tries. The storyline is alright, it provides a good excuse for the hard butcher levels. A quick fault was on the last level, with a text box, the one where you have to run halfway and jump up into a space to avoid spikes. It's unreadable, would be a simple fix.

ok,so i beat the game completely,but for some reason didnt get the trophy for completing tenth level...also i pressed every button,including discovering the hidden debug button,but could find no quality button that would give me a trophy...so missing 3 trophies,all of which earned(the third and final is all trophies gotten)...
needless to say,after all that painstaking work,it would be nice if the rewards were actually awarded to me...
now back to my essay...(great game for procrastination btw)

Having issues with controls? Click out of the flash, then back in (it will pause when you click out). It seems to be working for me when I get the issue.

I think I know what people are complaining so much about the wall jump. You have to hug the wall and then push diretion of the wall + jump. That makes it hard to zig zag. Making it just hold the wall + jump would be easier... but there's another problem. Wall hugging sometimes seems to get in the way of double jumping. If you simplify wall jumping, the other problem is gonna get worse... I can't think of anything better than a wall hug button, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea.

I would love a Boss fight at the and to take revenge for everything what happend to Mr.Bree during the game. Nice work.

quality on low, control lag is still pretty bad.Walks when releasing the keys, doesn't move when key is pressed fix this please.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
please make it so we have to hold a key or something to activate wall jump... so many times i go to drop down and just end up sliding into a spike
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There should be a way to drop off of the wall without jumping, like just release the directional control and you fall or press down and it drops you. 4/5

This was awesome. The controls were fairly responsive (at least when I played) and the levels were challenging without being stupidly hard, and the music was absolutely FANTASTIC.
We've just updated the game (v1.0.2), now the wall jumping and the keyboard input lags should be improved. Please tell us if you're still having issues. And sorry for any inconvenience! Thanks! =)

It wants to be a good game, but it just isn't. I can do all the actions necessary to get through the harder levels, but the controls just are not allowing me. Fix the controls and you have a good game.

After still more testing with the assistance of a friend, there is also some very minor input lag when sprinting in levels with a high density of events on screen, such as Butchery 2's central section. Even so, the input lag is much, much smaller than that on other levels, and non-existant in that level when you are not sprinting.

@luqui01 Its like making an fps with a trigger that worked half the time. Any time you make a game thats flawed at the most basic level, its not a great game. This game could be really good with just a little listening and tweaking. It could be a 5/5 game but now its at most a 3/5.
