The Wasteland

Some info about my latest completed game (it hasn't been accepted here yet, so I figured I'd give y'all a chance to jump the gun):

The Wasteland is a short exploration-puzzle game. It's a platformer with minimalistic graphics (see screenshots below) and home-brewed MIDI music. It took me about a month and a half to make, which is over twice as long as both my previous games put together. I didn't do everything with it that I set out to, but I think it's decent nonetheless. The puzzles in it are much harder than I intended, but I guess that's okay. You guys can handle it, I think.

Screenshots:

…I'll let those speak for themselves. If you like the way they look, go ahead and download the game here.

That looks like an awesome game. I'll have to try it when I have enough free time.

I wish the screenshot would load [:(]

Some of the graphics vaguely remind me of Seiklus.

That's what I thought too, marbs.

From the screenshot, it looks like the person could use a little more depth…

I didn't play much. (I'll play it more when it's accepted so I can give a full review.) It's nice, a lot like Seiklus, but creepier. It's fun, but that resolution change is just awful. is that 240 by 200? All of my windows got tiny, you might want to warn people of it.

It's 320x240. That shouldn't matter too much, though, it changes everything back when you quit the game.
