Did you work in a team?
On my own.
Was the resolution a challenge?
I wanted to make a game for the res rather than shoehorn a game intended for a higher res into a lower one. So all sprites are essentially 4x4. This made making things recognisable very difficult!
What did you learn?
Manjaro is awesome for game dev! I've not used linux seriously before but am now a fully signed up member of the linux crowd!

Hey this was pretty fun! Loved the graphics!
Thanks!
Really cool submission. The graphics and music are excellent, and the platforming felt very satisfying. Hopefully you keep working on this in the future.
Side note: In a real-life post-apocalypse, avoid going underground to find your ancestors' energy crystals, as you are liable to get radiation poisoning!
Thank you very much for your kind comments! Hopefully will expand on this, not sure if I would keep the low res though! Lol! Very true! I'll need to fix that in the story somehow... Cheers!
Anything's possible in the world of Zena; maybe these crystals are perfectly safe.
A really pixel precise platformer, nice level design and 'readable' graphics. Maybe a checkpoint would be good, I lose dozens of time hahaha. And start from the beginning of the level was tedious.
Thanks! Checkpoints definitely a good idea - I really dislike having to start games from the beginning, you lose sense of progression! I intended to create save points dotted around the level but ran out of time!
This is top-notch work. I love the graphics and the gameplay. Took me a while to realise you can jump whilst falling which made some of the platforming areas much easier. I'd love to see more added to this! :)
Thanks! Yeah, apparently it's "coyote timing" (or just lazy coding on my part!). I'm going to work on it post jam as ran out of time!
Good looking game! I had fun playing it ;)
Thank you, glad you had fun!
