Blanket Girl by Chippington
Story Synopsis:
A girl, dreaming, awakens at the entrance of a spooky dungeon with only a blanket. Unable to wake up on her own, she must push through, solving puzzles and defeating monsters using her trusty blanket in order to find her way home.
The game is unfinished, but still playable!
WASD - Move
Space - Jump/Glide
E - Interact with switches/Buttons
LMB - Whip
RMB - Air blast (can power turbines)
The finale level is where it's at, the first two levels aren't too hard to figure out.
In the finale, you have to blast wind at the textureless models (looks like an arm and a sphere) to get it to spin.
Curious to see what the finale looks like when beaten? [Spoiler]

EDIT: Fixed bug with shadow not rendering, and sound sometimes not working.
EDIT2: Fixed bug where the game crashes when you interact with a button twice.
EDIT3: Removed WebGL build because of a multitude of problems
EDIT4: Forced quality setting to "Fantastic" because people were complaining about there being no shadow below the character.
NOTE: Make sure the game is played in 'Simple' quality or higher! The shadow below the character may not show otherwise.

The game felt pretty good, too. the aesthetic reminded me of PS1 platformers. The platforming felt right, and well tuned. However, a small blob shadow below the player'd feet would help immensely because it was hard to tell if i was going to land on a platform or not. being able to use a shadow to aim my jumps would help a great deal.
Otherwise, great entry! The soundtrack fits well, too.
otherwise very cool looking game, the character art was killer and I liked the juxtoposition between that and the env art even if it was a bit incongruent.
blanket was a super cute choice though it didn't seem to have any relation or reason in the game. otherwise handled pretty well, sure I would of perceived with a controller. good job dudes.
Great Entry!
Crashed if you push the same button twice.
Nice work on the characters, concept and level design. If you don't mind, I did take a shortcut to the last level at first unintentionally, by falling and gliding. :P
The soundtrack is really nice and completes the whole package in a nice and adorable way. :P
Totally want to see a full version of this. :P
P.s.: in the WebGL version, the door that opens with the first switch doesn't render here, it looks invisible.
Great game! Keep it up!
I really like this entry, but I've never been great at 3D platformers so found this one to be really unforgiving. There's a ton of potential here - great job!
great !!!
especially the graphics... so cute...lol
Minor quibbles though! Great work!
Could use some sound effects. If you expanded this into a full fledged game (maybe zelda-esk) I would consider buying it. I actually really like the mix of 3D terrain and 2D enemies.
As game content goes, the third zone seemed impossible; the darkness was always right behind me, and even using some exploits I found (walking before the camera pan was done, hitting both turbines with a single gust, and wall-hopping), I was unable to beat it:

Charming and adorable character design, enjoyable music, and nice presentation overall. I think there's the makings of a fun 2D puzzle platformer here! Good work.
