Ethernet Quest by MentaL13
Finished my second Ludum Dare game. The theme was tough and the only thing I came up with was the connection between the boring real world and the world of fun and joy - the Internet. At it's core the game is a simple infinite runner but I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
A little backstory for the game:
You play as a deity worshiped by many - an ethernet cable. Your sole task is to connect the boring mundane world with the wold of fun and cats - The Internet.
Avoid dangerous obstacles on your journey and collect mysterious energy orbs on your way. And if you'll find yourself in trouble don't hesitate to teleport into the world of Ether were nothing can stop you.
Controls:
w/s or up/down arrows - movement
left shift - accelerate
spacebar - become invulnerable... for a time
left mouse button - close spam windows
Note: I made the game with Unity and I read a lot that Linux doesn't have the Unity Web Player, so I built the game for Linux but unfortunately didn't test it... so sorry about that :)

It works just fine on my system
The emails were a nice touch, but the game lacks sound effects. Otherwise, good job !
"buy this amazing stuff only 99" XD make me laugh
Well done
I initially thought the white envelopes were the main thing to pick up and that the grey spikes were instant death. Once I figured it out it got easier, but still too hard for me.
A little sound would have gone a long way -- even a couple of SFXR bleeps.
Good job!
simple +fun :)
