LightStars by NSoul

[raw]
made by NSoul for LD32 (COMPO)
My first try at Ludum Dare, and it's the first time i tried to make a game...
I played much with editor like Unity3D or Blender but never did something with it.

So this is LightStars, i made the name up on the fly while typing this :D so don'T be too harsh about the name. I just started make the game with out knowing what it would be at the end, but i think it's playable.. so enjoy.

There are in game texts that explain how to play, so i don'T need to tell you here.

###################################
If you play with the UnityPlayer use 'ALT' instead of 'RIGHT MOUSE'... content menu is baad... :O

It themes to be that lvl 3 is broken... i'm sorry :( so 3 lvl are not playable :I, but i could play to the end in the web player and Html player... so i don't know what it could be...
###################################

In the last 4 hours, i tried to make it easy to aim and control everything, but i didn't get it in time... so you got the hard aim mode at the moment :P

Used Programms:
Unity3D + MonoDevelop
Blender

Nice game, cool mechanics and mood. Liked how the game told me how to play, felt like I was talking to you.

Very great looking game with good use of lighting.

I thought the weapon was very innovative and I think this game will do very well in the rating.

Sometimes I got confused about which way to move the mouse to change the light in the correct direction, but you cant fix me being bad at the game.

Nice but too many controls.

That weird light weapon thingy is pretty cool. I like it. Turny turny bullets that shoot around walls are always good.

Neat concept. Liked the tuto :-)

Very good idea! The controls of the weapon are a bit clunky though. Especially fighting the armored shooting guy was a bit frustrating.
I got stuck in the third level. Did not know where to go. And then the game crashed.
But all in all I think that this is a very solid entry. I would not have guessed that this is your first complete game! Good work!

Nice and nifty! I like the idea with this weapon, despite it's sometimes hard to aim. And graphics is good!

By the way, I fixed my game, it should work for you now. Thanks for the comment.

I really like this entry. Such a nice mood and friendly atmosphere, the sound design is great. It has a few bugs and I think you can work on the controls to make it a bit easier. I had to backtrack the entire first level because I forgot to activate the first star thing.. :)

For your first play in an Jam and even in 3D is very good , I liked the gameplay and the contrast of lights in the scene! Good job! *--*

Damn near perfect. I think it glitched out or something for me on the third level, I hit every crystal but there was a gap that never closed up. Still astonishingly impressive.

There's an unbelievable amount of character in this game with such simple graphics.

Very well polished, works smoothly. Interesting weapon.

Thas a really nice game, it's got very nice mechanics, works perfectly and the graphics are nice too; the angle-change and the view-changer are awesome additions.

the lightning used really sets the mood and theme, and it works great. Audio fits to the game too.

Overall this is a great entry, only complain i have is that i got stuck on an island on level 3 without any way to get to the other place

Man, loved this game! Nice concept, neat use of the light. But seldom used the shield. Maybe if we can move and use the shield we could use it more.

Want to see more about this game!
