I decided to go the minimalist route. It actually fits several of the themes that were proposed. I interpreted the theme literally and made a game that fits on one screen - no panning, scrolling etc. As with my previous LD entry, the game is a short experience. Enjoy!
Linux users: Please note that the zip file contains both the Windows executables/dlls and the .love file that you can run in Linux. I thought it would be easier to distribute if there was just a single download - sorry for the confusion.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties - I am a Chrome user myself and I didn't get those warnings. You could try changing your security settings but other than that I'm not sure what to suggest.
I won! And then lost! Pretty shapes, and sometimes the shape gets weird but that's cool. Then I wondered if it's supposed to be a two player versus game. hmm
I really like the idea of this game. I wish the argument-dialogues were a bit further developed, but still a very interesting concept with some light real-world messages tied in :-)
Bernhard: You could very easily play it with two players on the same keyboard :) That wasn't my intention but it's a really good idea. Multiplayer could be added in the post-compo version.
ChronusZ: Thanks for the feedback - I've been meaning to implement a dialogue system for one of my other games and decided that this would be a good opportunity to develop one. I will definitely be adding more dialogue possibilities in the post-compo version.
@TimtheBo: Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I plan on adding more levels and features in the post-compo version, while maintaining the current aesthetic.
@Mokosha - I provided a single zip file with both the Windows and Linux files inside. There should be a Daybloom.love file in the zip - you need to have Love installed in order to run it.
@Justin Mullin: The goal is to strike a balance between the sun growing too large and becoming too erratic - I'll try to make it a bit clearer in the post-compo version.
@Divitos: not sure why you're getting that error - I know that some systems don't support the canvas system Love uses. It sounds like the error is happening on load so I suspect that is the case for you. Unfortunately there's not much I can do about it - sorry.
I'm not really sure what I was supposed to be doing in this game, but its a cool audio/visual experience at least. Nice presentation and a good sense of atmosphere. Maybe a bit more explanation on things would be nice? Good stuff though.
intriguing game, it's a nice visual experience, great surreal mood. It would be nice to have some clear instructions, and sometimes the dialog boxes got stuck on screen, a very beautiful game anyways.
