This game is not even close to being done. Also my art is terrible but silly. I spent only about 12 hours working on it. That is, 10 hours making the engine, and 2 making the game. It is written in c++ using SFML. I used LaurentGomila's AnimatedSprite for animation (can be found here https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML/wiki/Source%3A-AnimatedSprite). I also used some old code from a previous Global Game Jam. This may be breaking the rules because I didn't announce I was using it, but I ended up rewriting 95% of it. All code, except for the animation code, was written by me.

When I saw the theme, I had no idea what game I was going to make. I asked around with my friends but I wasn't feeling any of their ideas. I didn't want to make a generic underground game or submarine game. I wanted to do something different (i'm not a hipster I swear). Thinking about different types of surfaces, I decided to do something with reflections. Whether it be reflections of an image, or mental reflections. So i brainstormed on that for a while and decided on this -

There is a guy walking down the street and his reflection on a window beside him. He stops and turns to the window. As he stares emptily into the window, his reflection vanishes. It turns out this guy is a vampire and he is longing to be human again. The reflection was just a hallucination in his mind. Eventually he gets hungry and needs to feed. So you control this guy while he goes on a feeding frenzy. The character has to deal with the inner struggle of killing and consuming the very thing he wants to become. A human.

If you look/looked at my game, you will see this isn't what I made. A couple hours before submission, I decided this was never going to get done. My nephew was over the house so I asked him what I could make this game into. He said, "You can make them race!" So that's what I did. The controls aren't done yet though. It was supposed to be, the faster you press the arrow keys, the faster you go but there was some bug that I couldn't find in time. I was thinking of putting in obstacles too but didn't have enough time.

To "play" my game, press the right arrow key a bunch of times and try and beat the reflection to the other side of the screen. Then press the x or escape and never play it again, unless I actually finish it :p. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I just fixed the controls a little bit so they almost work as they are supposed to. You can also win now! I added a crude end screen that tells you whether you won or lost.
