The Walls Are Closing In

This is a top-down fast-paced puzzle game with a bit of a story arc. You're a guy trying to avoid the evergrowing darkness and complete each level / part of life as fast as possible. 10 levels, 3 powerups, highscore system and a compelling concept!

Behind the scenes

Ok so here is my group's entry for LD38. I originally started with another friend who had to bail out after we had modeled all 3d assets for the game. Infuriated, I decided I'm gonna make a game on my own then. Changing from Unity to GameMaker, I figured out my skills would be adequate enough to create something. I found out later that I'd need some help from my brothers and decided I'm gonna replace the old friends with my bros as my new team members. The soundscape is the only part of the game that we did not create ourselves. Everything is credited according to CC rules in the credits though. I digressed from the theme a bit, but I still claim the game is about a small world, since the world of the protagonist is shrinking step by step and he's fighting against that change. This coulda been so much more awesome, had we started this when the Jam started and not 40 hours after!
