Here's the game I made! I've spent about 25 hours in total on development, during the 48 allotted hours.
Controls: WASD and Left mouse button.
There's no sound in the game (woops).
The game is very short. It was created with the intention of being a lot longer, but failure to decide upon a proper setting/look for the game made the development take a lot more time than I initially thought.
It's also missing a brightness setting, so monitors with a darker setting might have a hard time seeing things.
The theme was supposed to be reinforced in the form of the bolt/arrow that you're shooting, but it might have ended up a bit vague.
Took me a little while to figure out I could stand on the bolt to climb, and it was very hard to see where to go or figure out what to do. But the idea is very interesting, and I like the look of the bolt lighting up it's path (similar to our game in fact!).
@Nielen I checked out your game, and the way you did the exploration with the light is just fantastic. I only wish my game could have been more like yours! :)
@Phyyl I really wanted the game to be self-explanatory, but here's a quick guide/walkthrough if you just want to get through the game; At the first part you jump on the bolt to get up, after that you light up the torches (shooting through a torch lights the bolt on fire), and shoot the ice block/wall with a fire bolt. Then just make your way to the other side of the maze area, you can light up torches for more vision.
Took me awhile to get it but I really liked the idea once I learned what was going on. I think the brightness I had was a bit too frustrating to work with in the end though.
Would have liked a reticle, I also died because I clipped through the floor. I liked the lighting that the bolt gives you. Nice for looking ahead and plotting a course.
