Hi all. Here's my entry for my first Ludum Dare. Not really want I wanted to make but the idea changed a lot along the way and I ended up making something a lot simpler due to lack of time and nerves :)
It's a simple platformer like (without platforms :) ) and it's supposed to be simple and fun. Even if the difficulty is completely rubbish.
You are a man whose boat got stuck in the ice while travelling through the cold regions and since you couldn't stay on that boat forever (you would've run out of food) you decided to try and go find some help. Your objective is to avoid the dangers beneath the surface and reach the end.
Controls: A - move left D - move right W - jump
You have 3 lives after which you're presented with the Death Screen. Please check it out ;)
Moving left is very buggy and moving right might stop at random and I'm terribly sorry for that (weird Unity collision detection). I'd like to fix it but it's too late now.
Hope you like it.
Enjoy.
P.S.: Unity seems to have problems on Chrome, try to use Firefox or something else. I can't play most Unity games from LD in Chrome. Thanks.
Thank you. The gameplay does indeed need work. The initial idea was to make a Lemmings like game where you'd have to guide your survivors through the arctic but because of some problems and time running out I had to resort to a simpler idea. I've generated the music using www.abundant-music.com in case you'd like to use similar songs in your games.
Another shout out for the music, was nice to listen to. Thanks for sharing the site as well that could com in handy in the future. The character movement worked well it's just a shame about the stopping issue.
Thanks. The stopping issue caused me problems for the start and made me try and make the game in HaxeFlixel instead, but then I was having difficulties with creating the map in HaxeFlixel and went back to Unity. I think I know how to fix it now and I might try and continue development thanks to the positive comments and will most likely be upgrading the GameJolt link.
I love the music and graphics. The player seemed to get caught on the ground sometimes, (something to do with the colliders maybe?) and once a checkpoint was on melted ice so when I re spawned it dropped me into the water.
Gameplay could do with a little work, though.
