Float

THE GAME

Link here! https://cakestorm.itch.io/float

Travel through a floating island, all the while avoiding hostile insects and taking care not to destroy the whole thing in the process. And you get to do all this with a gun.

Play as a funny little leaf monster, and battle through a swarm of insects to finally reach the surface of this flying island. And dispatch as many bugs as possible, but be careful with where you choose to shoot!

And, of course, witness the beautiful wildlife as you go past, both internal and external, as well as the viscera and gibs you've created as well. Charming stuff.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE WHOLE THING

Making this game was stressful - the final WebGL build was definitely unstable! Despite that, I still enjoyed making the game and I learned a lot in the process, particularly with particles systems. I might have gone too far with the amount of particle colliders I added, but I can't deny that it was definitely fun to add. I also learned that WebGL is unreliable, and that sometimes it just randomly breaks, and I'm not salty about that at all. But it at least worked in the end, and I apologise that I had to use the development build! And I had so much fun designing and making the game that I can't really complain, and I'm excited to see what everyone else has done; Ludum Dare never disappoints! Thank you for taking the time to play my game!
