Courier by Conk

[raw]
made by Conk for LD30 (COMPO)
This is my first Ludum Dare, had lots of fun with this, I'm quite bad at finishing things in short time periods, but not today! I did however fall short of my 3 level target and had to settle for 1 level.

Sad times.

Honestly, the theme was really lost on me, I adapted it kind of... so it was unconnected world war 1... connected world is in there... Jus' sayin'

Thanks.

Umm, known issue - minimizing may cause a crash ? Too late to attempt a fix.
That font might be important, not tested on other pcs.
Oh yh, PC only ):

Controls

Left & Right = Move Left & Right
Up = Jump
Hold Down to crawl/sneak
Escape to pause.
Enter to accept and stuff.

Try to avoid the mines.

I liked the concept of being a game about war, nice.

But it is said that the game is for web, but it has na exe to download.

Audio and visuals are amazing, and so is the atmosphere. Great work, especially for your first LD entry.
I love these dark, saturated colors!

Thanks everyone! When submitting there was a * by web, I instantly assumed I had to put something in that box...

Graphics and audio are really nice and compliment the mood perfectly. Just wish it wasn't so short :P

The overall atmosphere of the game is so good. The game itself is simple, but it works very well with everything else. My only complaint would be that some mines are hard to see (Maybe that's just because I'm colourblind).

Good job !

Thank you all for the great feedback! There are flowers around most of the mines and other traps and a beeping noise should get louder the closer to a mine you are (:

Really great mood congratulations.
But sorry I didn't go very far. The mines were too hard to see. I died sometimes for no clear reason (Barbed wire?) and dead again in front of soldiers and I had no idea what to do. After that many restarts it was too frustrating.

The immersion is real good.
The dark graphics play well with the gameplay.
Impressive!

The best background music so far, nice atmospheric aesthetic. The screen is a bit too dark though, at first the blinking mines were hard to see which was pretty frustrating. Also the barbed wire death I thought was a bug at first because there was no feedback. Generally though, atmospheric experience, good job!

I really enjoyed the mystery of this game and how dark it was. Also the difficulty was higher than most of the games I've played the LD, hardcore gamers will appreciate that. I know I did :)

Cheers everyone (: I made sounds and was about to add visual feedback for barbed wire, but didn't manage to, you can crawl through the wire without taking damage, I forgot to mention that.

Like others have said, the art certainly helps to add to the mood.

The game is pretty short and I think you are well aware of that. However it looks really good, sound and music fits, I think it's a really good entry even though quite unclear and short.

Very cool the survivalist war-theme is very cool, the music and the mood great ! The character movement is a little bit frustrating.
