(25/12) - Uploaded Post Jam version which fixes the buggyness of the movement and controls. This version also includes the necessary DLLs to run the game. (05/01) - Updated the Post Jam version. Lot's of polish, functioning arrow and camera control.
Run around and fire particles in this prototype I made over the weekend. It's a very disappointed me submitting the game, but finishing it within the time frame just hasn't been possible for me.
The general idea of the game - which I will probably continue working with for a while after the compo - is that you run from some sort of impending doom that's coming for you, and if you don't run quick enough - you will die. As your only companion you have a single arrow at your disposal, which can be picked up after shooting it at something or anything.
Controls:
- Game: Move - A & D Jump - Space
Shoot particles: Hold mouse to draw bow. Release to fire.
- Level Editor: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Q W E R T Y U I O P F G H
Save - S Move view - Arrows Toggle Decoration - LShift Toggle Overwrite - LCtrl
Left mouse to place tiles. Right mouse to delete tiles.

I really wished it was a more complete game because it really felt as if there was impending doom.

Yeah, I needed to install the C++ Runtime... I didn't really understand the game... the level editor broke, I couldn't play it without that, because you will get an empty level. You can pretty much say this entry is unfinished and broken. :(
Doesn't run on Windows 7 64 bit. Error says, "Can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
@olafsworld98 No you're right, it's a really bad title. But I was so frustrated with myself and the game that I didn't really care about its name, next LD you can expect something better. ;)
It looks like a really good start; I guess it took quite a bit to write the things that people get for free if they use Unity or the like; next time you should be able to do those to do a finished game :)
@sam1373 Recently moved from VS2008 -> VS2013, not used to people not having the required binaries. My error.
@Nelien Hehe, I love programming stuff from the ground up compared to using something like Unity or a premade engine, and it's not like I usually have trouble finishing games within the 48h time frame. There just happened to be a Christmas lunch this LD weekend which sucked up my second day of the jam, so that made it quite hard to finish something other than a quick prototype. ;D
And yes, I needed to install Visual C++ 2013 Runtime (x86).
Screen shaking was nice though.
