Louis and the Louse by Kerdelos

[raw]
made by Kerdelos for LD29 (COMPO)
Left and right arrow to move.

Good concept! Wasn't sure what I was doing until a little ways in, but it's a clever / silly story and the PiP was well designed / executed.

Looked nice, wasn't too sure what I was supposed to do exactly, but was pretty cool anyway. Nice job

Interesting concept. Wasn't sure what I was doing until I noticed the faces on the signs next to the hairs.

Fun and interesting little game. Need to inform when you're able to interact with Louis' hair.

At first I was like "what the hell is that?", but then I realise that all those things are hairs LOL. Very fun and the game concept is really good and nice story telling.

(It's good to have some spanish people on ludumdare)!

Streamed this. The game ends before it's even started, and it's a bit of a shoddy run even for that short length.

An original setting for a story, for sure.

Funny story and interesting concept. Would have like some voices and music effects. Keep going with less bugs and little more gameplay, sure it will be an great game!

Cool idea.

I recommend:

+ More direct feedback on the actions.
+ A fast way to play it again, it's so easy to lose.
+ Sound FX.

It took a while to figure out exactly what I was supposed to do, but once I figured it out everything went smoothly. I finally made it to the other head to colonize.

Interesting way to integrate the story, and a fair bit of humor for such a quick game. You definitely have a tendency toward unique gameplay and art, and I'd definitely encourage you to keep experimenting. Keet it up!

Please don't tag Unity 3D games as "web". They are not web games and won't work on some platforms.
