My second Ludum Dare game! I took this in a much different direction than last time, but I'm happy with the quality that I've achieved!
A story of a bleak future and desperate people. You are the ruler of an underground colony facing open rebellion. Your power over the people has run out, and soon, so will your electricity.
Potential Energy is a short and simple platformer with a focus on atmosphere and story. The colony is a place where power is used sparingly and darkness is in large supply. With my second Ludum Dare game, I decided that this theme was a good time to experiment with some lighting and tried to focus the gameplay and atmosphere around the sparse lights.
WASD - Move
Space - Jump
E - Interact *(Pressing E multiple times when speaking to someone gives more lines of dialogue!)*
#### Fixes
- Fixed a problem where an NPC could block you from continuing the game
- (Hopefully) fixed a problem with a speaking trigger not registering properly
- (Also hopefully) Fixed some possible jumping problems
