Shadow Crawl

The changes I made to the updated version are outlined in a blog post here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/shadow-crawl/balance-patch-and-video-walkthrough**

It's just some minor numbers tweaking for easy mode because almost no one can make it past level 1 of 8.

I believe you should rate my submission build alongside my easy build. Use the easy build to see the later levels, mechanics, and assets that may be too hard to see in the normal build, but rate the gameplay in the submission build.

Download the original version if you prefer.

Description

Explore the shadow realm, and try to conserve your batteries along the way! Three different difficulties to choose from, so feel free to play at whatever skill level you're comfortable with!

A short 8 level game about trying to escape form a shadow world. Each of the non-boss levels has a different objective, and there are 3 enemy types, 3 bosses, and 3 environments.

Controls

E - Light lights and interact with objects.

WASD - Move

Left Click - Shoot, hold to continuous fire.

Tips for Players

* Always, always stay on the move. Crows spawn continuously and you only have so much light!

* Always try to keep track of your ammo, if you run out you may find yourself stuck.

* Yellow dots are batteries, blue dots are pickups.

* Don't spend too much time in the light of those creepy laughing statues. They will hurt your sanity fast and cause enemies to spawn at unmanageable rates.

About this Project*

I made this myself from scratch. The only public domain resource I used that I didn't edit heavily was the shooting sound effect! This is my first game jam ever! I had a blast making this, and I hope you have a blast playing it!

Music for the game are all songs I wrote and can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3MLmna7rA5vSFQ5SHBkMGhNMlE/view?usp=sharing
