You are a wizard, torn apart by memories that haunt him. He's done awful things and now the world around him is crumbling.

"Story of a Broken World" is my LD30 compo entry. I spent about 10 hours total making it. It lacks many things I had in mind, mostly because I had some motivation issues. Anyhoo, got something done, that's the point!

The game is written using LibGDX. Graphics are drawn in GIMP. Levels are created in Tiled. Music is composed using Psycle.

Hope you enjoy it.

Nice for a 10 hour game ;) I've also used LibGdx for my game (first time in java and libGdx), much less done, and worked on it for ~40 hours xD

Unfortunately it closes right after opening. May be caused by my system.

Sogomn: if you're using Windows, try running it from command prompt by java -jar <name>.

Nice music, and cool tiles! Great job for 10 hours!

I liked the lighting, art, and the music. For a 10 hour game I'm impressed. Good job, solid game!

the music fits really well. and I got really into it when I went through the blue portal thing. and the maze. fun game

I liked it. The music goes well with the game. The end maze was fun

The art and the music are amazing. But, there wasn't much to do, which is understandable for a 10h game.

Nice little game. Liked the music and the art. My only real complaint was on the invisible maze at the end. Unless I missed something there was no information on how to get through, it pretty much cam down to luck, which really takes power away from me as the player.

Other than that though, cool game!

Nice graphics and music for 10 hours. Are you using libgdx box2d-lights? I intended to, didn't have time.

manabreakauthor25 Aug 2014, 14:39

@anserran: Thanks! And nope, it's not box2d-lights. Check the "Lighting.java" file in the source; it's just 16x16 sprites with alpha adjusted. :)

@manabreak Nice trick. Much more simple than box2d-lights.

I love the RPG style theme, great game!

The graphics and the music are really good ! So is the little story which is really mysterious.
However it isn't really innovative, apart from the thing that turns the light off and on. And after a few minutes it becomes a bit repetitive
Overall it is a great work!
