"Entire game on one old dusty IBM screen."

A game on a screen about playing a game on a screen. There is 3 levels!

------- About -------
I made it all solo, and created all the assets myself in the 72 hours.* I would have joined compo, but my game wasn't really ready yet...
*My friend @Sodakurt made some of the 3D models (the plant, the NES etc) so thanks to him!

------- Controls -------
WASD - move
Space - jump in "game"
Shift - Slide under in "game"
Alt + F4 - quit game

------- Changes -------
December 8: Uploaded to jam.
December 10: Made some fixes.
December 11: Uploaded it to Game Jolt!

Mate,mate,mate.. good work x).. why ? Its simple and original. First person in 2D xD.. i like that idea :) also check my project if you have some time x)

I liked the atmosphere in the room, and the graphics of the game. but was disappointed by the lack of sound and the broken controls of the snowman game; you can just press space to jump in the air forever. I liked it though, keep at it.

Impressive that you made this entirely as an army-of-one, great job! The collision box for the saw seemed a little big, I had to slide early. Of course...I could just be bad at it! yay snowman!☃

Thanks for playing my game people! @domicuc awesome you liked it :D @flwns thanks a lot for the feedback, i had actually just turned the "check if grounded" thing off for testing and forgot to turn it back on :/ @A Flat Miner thank you ;)

I'll make a little fixes update today so stay tuned for that! It'll probably be out around 16 European time (GMT+1)

Oh nooz, not the evil snowman!
Heh, funny Bit.Trip inspiration you got there. Didn't expect the end credits, though.

Neat little game! I like the concept of being a player playing a game on another screen :D

Would have been a bit easier/cooler if the player position locked (perhaps if he sat down?)

Good job! :)

It's a cool idea, I kept getting stuck under that second spinning blade, though! Liked the artwork. Would probably make a cool VR game too.

Whoa, that intense ending, really great use of the setting. Certainly broke that 4th wall.
Some sound effects would have been great tough.

haha, that was pretty fun. Interesting mix of 2D game in 3D settings. And that ending was hilarious.

awesome game idea.
and it fits the LD31 theme :D
thumbs up !

haha, you actually managed to give me a little scare at the end, even though I kind of expected it! Good job!

Really innovative take on the theme!

Developing of the theme is brilliant, but it would be cool to have something to do in a 3D world too, like unplugging your PC or reading notes. Check out our game, we've finally fixed the link

Fun way to deal with the theme :) And now I've read that there is a surprise ending - let's play again.

Haha :D now I'm afraid to turn around in real live..
swinestudios13 Dec 2014, 22:08
Dang, props to the ending there. It was a good "jumpscare" in a sense since you're all alone inside a dark, mostly-empty room.
SK16 Games14 Dec 2014, 00:51
Thanks again, glad I could scare you a bit! @Shide in my original idea, there was more stuff in the 3D world, but didn't have time... Did you play until the end though?

Bahahahahaha that was great! I love that the player is for some reason sealed shut in a doorless, windowless, dark room with nothing to do but to play a game in the corner, LOL!

Still haven't gotten to the ending... Must see this "jump scare" people are talking about!

Weird, it just reposted a comment from earlier... :/ fail...

no audio? nice game within a game, but the scoring seemed to keep adding up even if you died. can't wait for the oculus rift support :P

It was pretty good. Making a game on a 2D screen in a 3D world isn't a simple feat, so good job. ;) However, I felt like the snowman game needed some work. Like, I could just hold Shift continually to slide along permanently. Also, whenever I got to a flag, which I THINK is an end of a level, it said my character had "died"...It made me think there was something wrong with the game. Amusing 'twist' at the end, though. ;)
SK16 Games22 Dec 2014, 17:34
@MrShoestore the score adding up was on purpose ;) @brainstom Wow thank you, didn't know my game was that good :) @Chaoseed I agree the snowman game could have been better, but it was my first 2D game made in Unity ;)
