Bead Jar

by lotus
It is a game about surviving and more. The player can explore the land, pick up and drop items there to get resource and score. Resource is necessary to live, while score is score. The game time is (temporarily) 705 seconds, which means more than 10 minutes. But! The game is in very very early phase. Now the version0.0 is super boring and full of bugs. (And it doesn't have tutorial or audio even.) If you want to play it, do read the control instruction at the bottom to avoid unnecessary annoyance.

This boring game is a systematic prototype of a great design. I know the design is over-scoped (and I don't have enough time for it), but I like the idea a lot, so I asked myself "why not to spend my time on something I really like?". So it is. I believe it will grow into an amazing survival simulator in the future.

I will continue the development and post future versions on LD. If you have interests, you can say in the comment "Hey I want to be noticed when the game is updated" then I will @ you in the future. (Please do clearly include the keyword "notice". I don't want to spam you.)

Thank you for reading!

Game Basics:
If you don't move, the time wont't pass.

I don't know what you were going for, I keep going for a while then I die. I think even if youre making a prototype, game jam is a great place for getting feedback for your prototype. I could check out your post jam version if you keep working on it. Im new to game dev too
