You crash landed on an Exo-Planet. The Distress Beacon is working, but in a few days it will deplete the damaged Reactor Energy. Search the planet for Energy Cristals and kill the alien drones. Assistance will arrive in 5 days. Good Luck.

The Development:

The finale product doesn't match my initial idea, but I'm quite satisfied with what I ended up with.
I worked alone on this game only 19h, realising everything (except music, It's a royalty free track and royalty free sounds from the internet). I merged different Pixel art styles, trying to realize a strange alchemy of different styles, hoping to exagerate the sense of alienation.
In the first version of the game I had to cut down a lot of the map, in fact there are some tunnel structures and ravines cutted out. I also did realise some other enemies, but only the drones made it out in the final version.
Maybe if I gather time I will also implement all the other stuff.

I sleept 14h in 3 days and worked 39h, but nothing stopped me from using every single moment free for this Ludum Dare entry! :D

I hope you'll enjoy my game!

Thanks.

The game is so slow on my computer that I can't play it correctly and get fun from it. Sorry.
It looks like it could have been a cool game.

Looks like a complex game for such a small amount of time. There are a lot of drones and energy drains very quickly so I did not get too far in my couple of tries. Balance it out a bit more and make a post-jam version. It should be good!

Oh, and since you did not make the sounds, please disable voting for Audio.

Nice graphics! But I got a little bit lost with all the options with night, light, jumping and aiming. I get a few drones from underground and some times the games stuck for a couple of seconds on the Web Version
