Ludum Dare #57compo
Depths of Space
USE THE ARROW KEYS TO MOVE!
THE GAME LINKS ARE BELOW ON ITCH IO the web port didn't work on here so it is on the itch io.
There was indeed a tutorial planned out, but I have lost it somewhere in the depths of space.
This is a game I made for Ludum Dare 57 compo game jam.
I took it upon myself to make this a challange that is more than creating a game within 48 hours. I decided, as foolish as I am, to use Löve2D and Lua, of both I had no knowledge of 2 days ago.
I learned much and was able to create this masterpiece all by myself.
It is a game in which you travel through the depths of space in order to find and retreve an object, something that even I am not sure what it is. Since drawing is not my native language if you know what I mean.
And also, there is a strong story somewhere, behind some bugs I never get to fix or some feature that I couldn't find time to implement.
I have no brain cells left for writing a decent description here.
I have streamed 10 hours on both saturday and sunday while doing this game jam.
The vods are here if anyone interested, but it is in Turkish, mostly.

The source code is here, but it is a mess, just a friendly warning.

Lovely janky jam game. The movement was intresting, wacy, challenging and fun.
Some effect for getting hit would have been nice, i didnt notice that i got dmg sometimes since the movement is quite intensive to control.
Nice!
@youcarryoats Unfortunatly the problem exist in chrome as well. I myself rage quit the game at first. Tried to make it easier for like 2 hours but this was near the end of the jam, so my brain stopped working a long time before that. I ended up adding 3 lives and hoped this would be enough lol
@prunus-padis The special effects was on the list, but the list itself is missing, probably lost forever in the space now. Is it hard to finish the game, yes. Did I tried to make it easier, also yes. Why the hell it is still so hard to finish, I don't know, space I guess... xd
Thanks for playing :)
nice work
Thanks for playing :)
