Description

One day, a cool teenager was trying filtering with his crush. This pretty girl liked a lot wild animals. So our cool guy decided to go to the forest to take some photos of this animals.
Go! And take as much photos as you can of the wild animals! :smile:

> NOTE: It's not implemented the 'take photos' feature jeje It's a critic for the new techonologies. I would like to finish another scene where you achieve X time keeping battery alive and he ends up throwing the phone and enjoying the nature.
Sorry about that :( The next jam I will improve, I swear it :smile:

#### Personal note
This is my first Ludum Dare game! I learned lots of things during the development and it has motivated me a lot!! I developed this game using my own game engine Skygine done in SDL2 and I'm so proud of it :)
I hope that with the experience achived here I can improve my own skills of developmnet and design!! Thank you so much for playing my game and see you in the next LD!! :wink:

I either died or was not cool :( haha. I didn't know how to take pictures of animals. I tried a bunch of keys and clicks? Idk!? Anyway, nice game, and darn that scary bear!!!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't figure out how to take pictures. I tried clicking and pressing all the keys on my keyboard but didn't seem to be able to do anything other than move. And then a bear ate me.

That was fun! I found myself laughing out loud after being mauled by a bear.

Was there an explanation of which button would take a picture, or did I miss it?

I wish the theme was more incorporated into the game.

Fun idea, it's pretty tough to keep the battery filled and survive the encounter with the surprise animal!
It's cool that you developed with your own engine. Great job!

I really like the games story and humour. There did not seem to be a lot gameplay, but I still had fun trying your game. Well done.

Sorry, the ‘take photos’ feature it's not implemented :face_palm: It would have be easy to implement an onclick on animals, but I didn't take into account in the jam... :(

Oh, I too wondered how to take photos. I tried to collect all the batteries or get to the 100% (now I know it stops at 99%, haha), didn't work, so I guess it was a bit confusing. I like the animals running away and the little comments from our character, and bears chasing our guy. It just lacks the winning condition. Nice job tho!

Nice game! loved the graphics. Couldn't figure out how to take photos but still was enjoyable to walk around and see the animals!

You actually used your own engine! That's pretty impressive! The graphics were pretty cool. It was fun scaring a whole bunch of them animals away before getting mauled by a bear. :)
Very good job on your first Ludum Dare!

Sweet gfx, I think some assets could match a bit better (pixel size, colors). Keep it up :thumbsup:
