10corp
a frustrating reflex-based puzzle platformer
(http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/273708/26255-shot0.png)
This was made for my first Ludum Dare competition.
The game is written in C++11, using only SFML2.1 and JsonCpp as external dependencies.
It is written using my personal SSV framework (https://github.com/SuperV1234), written from scratch, which is free, open-source and available on GitHub.
I couldn't manage to polish the game as much as I wanted to. There only are 7 playable levels, no gfx options, no key rebinding, et cetera.
Still, being my first Ludum Dare, it was a very interesting and learning experience and I'm glad (and surprised) I managed to create something (in my opinion) worth playing that could become a fun little game with additional polish.
Hope you enjoy my entry.

Postmortem (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/08/26/postmortem-10corp/)

Linux users: native build is available, built on Ubuntu 12.04. Also, the Windows version works flawlessly on Wine.

Controls:
`ARROW KEYS`: move around
`X`: jump
`Z`: hold/release to grab/drop blocks
'R': restart current level
`ESCAPE`: go back to menu
`W/S/A/D`: pan camera
`Q/E`: zoom camera in/out
How to play:
Bring all the crates to the receivers to enable the teleporter. Walk on the teleporter to finish the level.
Numbered crates can only be received by numbered receivers.
Non-numbered crates can only be received by non-numbered receivers.
Non-numbered receivers can receive any kind of crate.
Grab the crates by keeping 'Z' pressed. Quickly turn and release `Z` to throw the crate. Jump right before releasing `Z` to give altitude to your throw.
Stack crates to reach high places.
When the first crate is grabbed, you have 10 seconds to bring any crate to a receiver, or you will be terminated.
When a crate is received, the 10 seconds timer is reset.
After all crates have been received, the timer stops and you can safely walk to the teleporter.

P.S.
Level 6 is hard, but not impossible
Level 5, though, has a coding error (forgot a receiver at the bottom).
I assure you level 5 is possible though, even if INSANELY HARD.
I've come close to beating it a few times but failed. If you manage to beat it, big kudos to you!

Hahaha I haven't tried it yet but it looks like a really cool concept -- it kind of reminds me of Block Dude but much more extreme and clever.
I'll give it a try on Tuesday when I get back from work :D

I left a comment on Ludum Dare sub thread but for SFML users, here it is !
I didn't managed to pass some levels, but the game is really really nice with a good concept, humor and nice pixels graphics.
The 10 seconds are short and stressful, just what we do need =)
Very nice job, especially for a first one !

Thanks for the feedback. I wrote a postmortem, available here:

Haven't tried it yet, but can't wait to get to it tomorrow! It looks really interesting.
I read "reflex based platformer" and had a bit of a panic attack. Man, what has Super Meat Boy done to me...

Can't wait to hear your thoughts :)
Anyway, does anyone feel like the game has potential to become something more?
I was wondering if, with a lot of improvements, and tweaks to the throwing mechanic, it could be worth expanding the game, adding more features/elements.

Well I didn't make it past level three, even after watching to video to understand how to 'throw' boxes. Either it's the key binding (Z<->Y) that doesn't make it work nicely or I'm just not made for such games. ;D

eXpl0it3r: And I tried for about 15 minutes to pass that level :D. I'm blocked at level 5 now and can't finish it :| .
The game don't need to be saved? Because when press ESC throw me to the menu and show to start from level 0 :(.

Level 5, as said in the OP, is very hard because of a mistake. Also, you can choose starting level in the main menu by using left/right arrow keys
