Ruined

An entry for YoYo Games' 5th competition.

NOTE: Do not directly play this from your Download manager in your browser.

Instead, go into your My Downloads folder (or wherever you wish to put a save file) and play the game. This allows the game to save properly.

Ruined is a 2D exploration platformer about a man named Alec who has been trapped in the desert for many years trying to fix his broken ship. Although he managed to put all of the pieces back together, his battery had run dry and the ship can barely take off the ground.
In one last desperate effort, Alec must try to create a power core than can take him out of the desert. But as he digs deeper and deeper, he'll find things that should have remained forgotten.

Controls:

Arrow keys to move

Space- action

There is a tutorial in-game.

  ERROR in
  action number 1
  of Step Event
  for object obj_energyJump:
  
  Error in code at line 16:
  timer -= 1

  Seriously, please fix this. I dont think I can finish the game the way it is right now.

  Sorry for the incontinence. However, you can finish the game. You need to get a powerup in order to use those blue things. Again, sorry for the error.

  Well I tried the main download, and that one works perfectly fine. I just had thought that v3 one would be most recent. very silly of me. sorry for inconveniencing you. Although now I cant beat the dragon boss. The farthest I've gotten him down to is two segments (not including head).

  That boss is hard. Well, they all are, but... Hint: Stay out of the middle, and know that if the boss leaves the screen from the left, it will almost always come back from the right. OH, and when you beat it, avoid the middle, as his head comes falling down in the middle.

  Looks great so far, I just have two quick bug reports to file.
  
  This first crash occurred when I was in the upper left of the map. I jumped into one of those small blue gems, and double jumped as I was touching it. The game crashed with the following error:
  
  ERROR in
  action number 1
  of Step Event
  for object obj_energyJump:
  
  Error in code at line 16:
  timer -= 1
  ^
  at position 6: Unknown variable timer
  
  
  The second crash occurred when I was saving my game at one of the lower subterranean save points. This crash printed the following:
  
  ERROR in
  action number 1
  of Step Event
  for object obj_savePoint:
  
  Cannot open another file (maximum exceeded).
  
  
  In both cases ignoring the error didn't let me continue, I had to quit the game. Keep up the good work.
