Help little Amadeus to avoid the ghost and find his parents.
Programmer "graphics-art" :-) was done using Inkscape.
And both sound effects using bfxr.
WINDOWS executable: http://prunum.org/amadeus_janikve_ld38.zip
I thought it will end up badly because I had only one level and the game wasn't winnable until the last moments before submission :-) I took my last strenght and made the winning possible. But I still ended up only with one level.
The lesson for me is that it is possible to create a game even if the theme is really bad for me. However it may not be easy. And of course I still have to learn how to draw and create any sound :-)
Hope everybody enjoyed this LD and survived the server problems during the submission.

Postmortem
Start of this LD was a bit rough because I didn't like the theme at all. I was aiming for the jam so I said to myself that I will start drawing/coding something and maybe the idea will come up. Eventually I ended up with the house and point&click style walking game. Idea about the actual gameplay came up very-early on the submission day :-) From then on I was drawing and coding straight up to the submission hour.I thought it will end up badly because I had only one level and the game wasn't winnable until the last moments before submission :-) I took my last strenght and made the winning possible. But I still ended up only with one level.
The lesson for me is that it is possible to create a game even if the theme is really bad for me. However it may not be easy. And of course I still have to learn how to draw and create any sound :-)
Hope everybody enjoyed this LD and survived the server problems during the submission.
