Lonesome Flotsam
Ludum Dare 17 version by Caleb Jewett
Get ready to fight for survival! It's your job to control a lifeform so overgrown with hair it is practically unrecognizable. Your good friend, the protagonist, is so filled with fright that she? he? it? can not be left alone for an instant without spinning into a crazed, whirling insanity. You'll have to take the lead.
Scour the landscape for blueprints and materials to give you and your friend the tools to survive and, perhaps, even escape. Sample the local delicacies: crab and purple boar. If you can gather enough wood to build a raft, you might, MIGHT be able to see home again. Or, you might be forced to face an awful truth.
WASD to attack.
Arrow keys to move.
Use the mouse in the workshop.
Get at least 20 trees and the raft blueprints to build a raft, escape, and win the game! ...maybe...
1.1 VERSION:
I think I fixed the permanent invulnerability bug, I added a second workshop and some boars to make hunting easier, I fixed a room change bug, and renamed some stuff. Also, the good ending now requires armor. I don't think either ending is accessible in the LD17 version due to bugs :(.
1.2 Changes:
The new workshop actually works! It should no longer kill you!
Raft recipe moved so it is visible and obtainable.
Your conscience may rest more easily: boars will no longer moan so loudly when you
kill them.
Continues added by popular demand! Please don't tell the wilderness protection
officials, they will ruin things for all of us.
I named this game after a song I made. You can hear the chiptune version of it here: http://8bitcollective.com/music/Pyrrhuloxia/Lonesome+Flotsam+%288+Bit+Remix%29/
Really hope someone manages to finish, so I've updated to 1.2!
