The story of a dog trapped between life & death.
I can't say much more, it would spoil the story :)
CONTROLS : arrow keys and SPACEBAR to skip messages.
You can also skip introduction using "S".

ABOUT EXTENDED VERSION : it was posted after the dead line. I only added a difficulty setting, the game is untouched and remained exactly the same.

I had a really great time making this game! At first, I was disappointed by the theme: too guiding. Especially when you want to do a platformer. But then I experimented a few things. The engine itself was developed in 4-5 hours I think.
I spent lots of precious time on the sounds, especially because of the lack of good tools (except SFXR, but it proved to be quite repetitive for my 4th LD). Next time, I will prepare a small lib for this purpose.
The animation was a real pleasure :) I definitely LOVE pixel art animation!
HINTS : don't read next chapter if you want to avoid SPOIL!
the Shadow follows all your steps. Use this to avoid it in dead ends! Each time you pickup a ball, the Shadow gets closer from you. Pick balls in tricky areas first.
