Cooooool weather FX.

Lightning spawn is a splendid idea.

Nice graphics.
Gameplay was slower than I thought it should be, but very well done.

Have you created this liteGame "engine"?
Always looked for a engine directly on SDL, but I couldn't found any. Started to do my own, but now I'll start from scratch again, since I had problems last time I was programming it.
Great job!

Yes I have been working on liteGame as a small 2d game engine for use in game jams. Its still in its early stages, but forcing myself to use it for this LD was a great way to find its weak points.

More info on my blog if you are interested.

The gameplay is a little slow and the rain effect looks a bit static, but I really like the pixel art. Well done.

Game play felt a bit static but the art was nice. Not completely sure how it's beneath the surface still but not a bad game.

Makes a really good first impression with the moody rain and graphics. Maybe a score counter would have been nice. Well done anyway.
