Abyss Vaulter
A downloadable game
My entry, Abyss Vaulter for LDJam 57. The theme was depth and I decided instead of going into the depths, like try and escape that theme. All created solo within 72 hours.
You've fallen down a sinkhole! Oh no! Luckily for you a gun has fell on your head and balloons seem to be friendly! Ascend the abyss and escape these depths!
Featuring:
3 Unique Areas
22 Levels
11 Upgrades
8 Enemies
7 Weapons
And all the blasting 8-bit fun!
Description soon but:
Controls:
Arrows - Jump
A - Jump
S - Shoot
Enter: Pause
(-/+ Changes volume)
(These controls can be edited in the game)
Now I sleep!

Had a lot of fun with this!
The controls in this feel nice, and so far I like the look and upgrades you get while you play. More than anything else, I'm amazed how much game was created in only 72 hours! I need to come back to play more!Congrats on winning the game jam! From what I've seen so far, you definitely deserve it!!
Amazing work, especially for just 72 hours!
Hi, really great game! Please do fix this bug though: if you try jumping right before walking off of the floor, it eats your jumps, and locks you out of jumping in the air for a bit, guarenteeing that you fall into a pit.
Made a video
Why do the levels resemble Labyrinth Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog?
no gamepad suport(
WHY THERE'S NO SAVES
nice idea of gameplay, and good selection of colors
It's like Downwell but you go up.
Really fun game! Absolutely loved it, great work!
Reminded me of Downwell and Velgress (From UFO50).
I would like the final boss to be a little bit more interesting but i really liked it. :)
This thing is insanely fun. I'd love to see it made into a full game some day.
very cool game but very short! I also wish the upgrades were randomized and not from a set you can always choose and the spread gun to work when switching sides (there's a small bug/glitch where the spread gun doesn't shoot anything when you shoot then quickly change directions)
Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
its not a vr game
well duh.
Hey I saw the gameplay of Abyss Vaulter but when I want to download it it says "No compatible Downloads found". Im on a Windows PC, so its a MacOS or Linux game right? If not then please let me know what i should do! And if its really a game for other operating systems then please bring out a version for Windows! Thanks to everyone that replys!
It's a windows game. Just download the zip and extract the files :)
heres a screenshot how it looks. i cant choose the file i want to download
Try downloading from the website and not the app.
Ok thank you now it works! Great game btw!
Not a problem, I've ran into this issue before hopefully you enjoyed thee game! ^-^
Congrats for building such a great game, and thanks for sharing!
Really loved main character design (jump animation especially)
Hey there, I hope you don't mind, but I featured Abyss Vaulter in the best retro-inspired games of all time.
I got speed run of 25 min! This was a great game.
you should add data saving and more levels!
Loving it! Is there a possibility of being able to save progress in the future? :)
i agree
Congrats, really nice game! I would love to see a full game, but it's pretty fun as it is. Consider a port for old consoles, something like GBA would be amazing!
Could you add controller support later?
Fun game. Really reminds me of Tower Fortress.
Congrats your game made it to the front page
This game is really cool, I'm hooked on it.
Downwell 2: Upwell
I really liked the game, I had fun while playing, but then something bugged me and I couldn't move or shoot. And in the end, the whole playthrough went into the trash.
I like this kind of game, it's fun, but why doesn't it support controllers?
what programming language did u use to make this game? What is CT Fusion?
It's ClickTeam Fusion 2.5. It's a game development software with a focus on visual or low-code programming.
Other words, a Wysiwyg.
Which I don't blame or mind. Some games coming from these types on environments are huge; so long as the one who made them takes full advantage of what the environment can do or at least put a twist on it.
I love the game!
If he survives this he will come out of those caves rich.
Chrome won't let me download it because it thinks its a virus.
A lot of game engines have this problem because of how the data is packed, and they generally come from an unpublished source
Love it! It gives me a feel from a NES.
Awesome game with super cute graphics! Any chance you can share the source / graphics?
This is good. I love the pixel art style. Is it possible to map controls to a dualsense controller?
Aww thanks, sadly I didn't have time to put in and debug controller support :( If I decide to make it into a full title, then that would have full controller support :)
The game is already compatible with hundreds of controllers. If you go to conflexgames.com, there's a special version of JoyToKey that's optimized to work well in a living room (in case you'd like that).
Which game engine has been used to develop the game? Great work btw!
Thanks I'm glad ye liked, it was made using CT Fusion :)
Great concept so far you on a good track
Aww thanks for the kind words! ^-^
