A mighty beast goes on a journey to find its true self.
=== AS THE PROPHECY STATED, IN THE END EVERYTHING WILL BE REVEALED ===
About the game - play using a gamepad, or the A/D/Space/J/K/L keys. - I’m quite satisfied with the game mechanics, and may try to do a polished game out of it. - animations aren’t very nice, most cycles would benefit from several extra frames - my initial goal was to make a game that could be played by a casual player, and to allow for fast-paced runs, jumps, dashes etc. for those in need for more challenging mechanics - no music or sound, sorry. - if you find yourself asking “is this the end?”, yes, it’s the end.
Some technical notes - written in C++ and OpenGL - runs on Linux and Windows - cross-compiled to JavaScript / WebGL without changing a line of code
Nice pixel graphics and mechanics! I didn't read the description until the end, so when I wondered "is this the end" I actually kept trying figuring out for a while how to go on. XD
Loved this entry, it all comes together being executed fairly well; graphics, game play, the theme.. You can really see the design philosophy come to life (though I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing.) great game!
Haha, nice! Quite a varied flushed out set of mechanics, had a lot more going on than I expected. I liked how each new mechanic took a bit of thinking to figure out, and then became super useful!
A few sound effects would have been a great addition, especially for the ending :P Good work!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35. Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) So we can include also your game in the video ;) p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
I liked the look and even the animations, though I'm not sure that I liked having my view restricted so much. The elephant in particular had some fun little touches. Not so sure about the mouse since it is effectively "press x to progress". the bird was an interesting idea, but I felt weird playing a bird that couldn't actually fly.
However jumps are managed, I found that I had to press the button a bit earlier than when I actually wanted to jump.
Lovely graphics, wasnt sure where to go at one point... I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/1ovNEwCi_RI
