The Labyrinth of Keys

I am pleased to release my newest game, The Labyrinth of Keys, originally started for Ludum Dare 28.

It is an exploration-action-puzzle-platformer inspired by La-Mulana.

I did the game design and programming. My friend ZeroTron did the level design. My friend Khananaphone did the music.

The Windows version has better performance, more graphical options, and the ability to rebind the controls. However, since this game isn’t nearly as intense as Omnidirectional Chaos, the Flash version is perfectly playable.

UPDATE (Feb 5, 2014):

I updated the game to version 1.1, featuring screen transitions, a few room changes, and an important bug fix.

I went into this with the intention of basing the whole level around this concept, so that it could stand alone as a polished level rather than a loose collection of ideas. It’s only 40 screens in size, but it was not possible to make the level any larger due to technical limitations.

This is one of the two levels I made for VVVVVV, one of my all-time favorite games, created by Terry Cavanagh.

This level is a little bit unfocused, as it was just me throwing in the kitchen sink of every idea I had for a VVVVVV level. Parts of it are somewhat difficult (although I tried to keep the difficulty to a reasonable level), and other parts essentially clear themselves. It’s 50 screens in size, making the level decently long.
