Simple 2D platformer, but you have to make your own path.
Warden of Void helps you escape from prison by giving you Nothing. Nothing is very powerful and consumes everything except gray. There are also some torches to light if that's what makes you happy and worms that will not make you happy.
Nice work - I enjoyed this! I like the idea of planning out a route and a watching out for enemies. I feel like maybe more could be done with the void - like maybe it could suck up some items and spit them out in other places for example, giving you the option of say starting with nothing to cross a bridge, but taking blocks from somewhere else to build one yourself. Overall nice work! It's a good concept and clearly very polished.
Level destruction is a pleasant surprise for this theme. I like this idea! Most of the time I end up carefully picking blocks one-by-one, though, so I didn't get to see the majesty of Nothing very often. Solid game nevertheless!
Thoughtful level design and gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few ways to complete these levels! Well done with completing a compo entry! I streamed it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/491837292?t=03h15m50s
@shrapx Thank you for sharing the stream! There are indeed several solutions, my own paths were quite different from yours. I'm curious though, why did you not use the level select but started over from the tutorial?
Great work! Just slinging a puzzle platformer in 48 hours is impressive but the main mechanic was ingenious and fun to use. One of the best games I've tried so far, very nice.
Thank you for the suggestion, @p-r! I wouldn't make it *the* jump button, because using up or w seems more intuitive and should make the game easier to learn. However adding right mouse button as an alternative or giving the user option to change controls is not a bad idea.
This is a good idea, not very fleshed out yet. Feel like there could be something more interesting with how the nothing grows and consumes things. I just used it like it was click to destroy single blocks.
