Ludum Dare #28compo
One Wing
A game about the unfairness of the world. Or just something short and cute.
You are an angel with only one wing.
In the end... do you have a choice, or don't you?
.....................................
I really hope you like this short and cute little game!
My heart melts while playing it myself :3
I actually made this in the last 10 hours of Ludum Dare. (I only started 8am this morning. It's now 6:54pm!)
That was part of the reason I simplified it to what it is, but now I am SO glad that I did.
Anything more complicated would have ruined it!

This is quite funny, I spent a good few seconds not flying :D

Cute <3 At least one wing is better than no wings!

Loved it!

That was a brilliant use of the theme, very thoughtful. First time I though there was no point trying to fly over the black angel so just walked into him -> black. Next time I actually tried to jump him, and did it. Is that a metaphor for something?

Too bad you had little time, but the game was well designed. The take on the theme was very good, It's very cute and I loved the surprise that he can not fly.

Nicely done. The graphics remind me of Zero Punctuation ^^

This is a very nice game actually, especially for only having 10 hours of work on it. Though I really don't think an installer is the right way to go for a Ludum Dare game, just a heads up.

Good mood, nice and short, cute graphics.
I especially like your take on the theme.
Not bad for 10 hours

Oh, but what I don't like is having to install a game for the Ludum Dare. I play 50-100 games. i don't like clogging up my computer.

This looks so cute and original, it's one of those games I really wish I could play, but I don't have any windows machine :(

Nice idea !

Cute and stylized art. Well done given the timeframe.
Espyo19 Dec 2013, 21:47
Super short, but so so lovely. I love how you get the alternate ending. It's so obvious, and it's a thing most people'll get right away (not like there's much you can do in the game other than backflipping and walking right), but it still makes sense and is well done.
theholychicken19 Dec 2013, 21:55
Love all your comments! I really hope everyone makes it to both endings :)
@ashen- Yeah, there are so many metaphors to be gotten from this, I'm still finding new ones four days after I finished it.
But what resonates most strongly for me is about not being afraid of your own despair. We all enter despair willingly, and consciously, even when it seems like there is no choice. Instead we should use what we have and find a way.
We all have something good about us. Sometimes we fail and we believe we are no good at all. We even forget about the one wing we have, and we live as though we have no wing at all...
You only get one wing. The other one you have to earn it yourself. <3

Fun little story.

spectacular offering

black screen when hitting the black angel looks more like a bug / game hang up.

This was really so freaking cute!
Nice little game. :)

Nice and simple game (or maybe an interactive story?). Even got both endings since it was so short.
Good job managing to make something in 10 hours! Didn't really like the installer though.

Nice and simple. Given more time, I wonder if you could add more obstacles..? Pits to "jump" over, etc. Either way, nice job :-).
Please review mine, if you have the time.
