Four Seasons by bushmango

[raw]
made by bushmango for LD31 (COMPO)
Update (Dec 8th): 1.01 with some bug fixes and some map tweaks to make it a bit easier for you BONUS use the website to go back and time and see past development versions

Four Seasons (Hint: one is winter. *cough* *snowmen* *cough*)
Tags: Unity Aseprite Audacity 2D C# Web Linux Windows Mac

You are a kitty cat and need to escape the mysterious ONE SCREEN ISLAND.

WASD / Arrow keys to move
Mouse to use your cat-swipe attack power

You're trapped on ONE SCREEN ISLAND (well, really a misnomer because it's a collection of islands including snowman island, volcano island, dungeon island, kitty island, graveyard island, ice island, central island, and a few unnamed smaller islands).

Fortunately, the seasons change rapidly, allowing a lot more to happen in one screen than would normally be possible.

Collect 9 crystals to escape the island, but if you are brave collect all of them to free the kittys! If you pet the kitty-cats you are the *TRUE* winner.

Linux and stand-alone builds coming soon.

Cool concept! I just wish there could be a bit of warning somehow when the tile you're standing on is about to change. I felt a bit cheated when I thought I was doing ok and lava just appeared under me and killed me. Just a little too unpredictable for my taste.

@graebor & @DaniDK thanks for your feedback -- I've fixed some bugs and tweaked the map so the water doesn't sneak up on you like it did, that was a bit unfair. I also tightened the controls and improved the collision detection so it feels more fair

@monkid -- did you try the web link? if you tried the download it's probably Mac OS X gatekeeper getting in the way :(

Very cool game! Love the artwork and the fact that when you stand still the cat starts napping! The audio is also fantastic and really funny. Very creative mechanic of the changing seasons for each island. Great job!

@Nuiguy, don't worry, your kitty doesn't drown! Your kitty just jumps really high back to the spawn location

I love this. It is quite fun. My son played it for probably 30-45 minutes today. Coolest game I've played so far. Nice job on everything!

Great game! I came here after reading your comment that our games were similar, and it is true! I got nothing on your great sound effect though... :)

Interesting game! I didn't get the idea of the four seasons though :/

@Grindstorm the islands switch between spring, summer, fall, and winter. I guess that really only makes sense in temperate zones like the Midwest U.S.A. where we live though.... hmmm.

This is so awesome! The cat is lovely, the audio is perfect :D

Wow, what a brilliant game, with such a well-defined and fun mood! I managed to get all of the crystals except that one in the middle-bottom of the screen... I think you have to step on little patches of snow or something, but I couldn't figure out at all which path I was supposed to take and ended up getting stuck :< If I didn't have so many other games I need to rate I'd honestly go and play your 1.01 version just to get to the end. Thank you for the game!

@Victory Garden -- don't feel bad, that one is really hard! It's part of the reason the game has extra crystals so you don't have to get them all ^.^ the 1.01 version has some extra hints as to the solution to that one, although I'm sure you would have figured it out if you weren't so good at rating games :D You are most welcome, I make games mostly to bring happiness.

Pretty neat concept. Was a little hard to figure out stuff at first.
Nice job!

What a weird idea! But I like it a lot, except for being forced to wait (sometimes a lot) for an opening ot a path to go on. Well done!

Adorable! The seasons are a very cool mechanic (I love dynamic maps/levels), and the a capella audio is fantastically hilarious. Hope you guys can participate next time too, I quite look forward to more games like this :)

Fantastic! I went through and played the in-progress links too.. nice to see how it evolves over time :)

PS. I rescued the kitties. (Wasn't sure if something was meant to happen or not)

This is by far the most epic soundtrack I've heard so far this Ludum Dare. Nice job! The seasons mechanic is pretty clever as well. Fun stuff.

PERFECT ! I found my new best mouth-done soundtrack/sfx and kitties in a row. The concept is fun ! but that's hard ! the music really perturbs me hahaha 5/5 it breathes good mood.
