Lights by Seyroth

[raw]
made by Seyroth for LD29 (COMPO)
Lights is a very short, replayable runner/platformer with meticulous level design and three different endings, telling a story altogether.

It is my very first Ludum Dare submission and I experimented a bit with GameMaker, thus the simplicity of the game. Unfortunately, I was unable to polish the game as much as I wanted to (if not at all), due to losing several hours debugging clumsy collision code. As a result the game has few or poor animations, no sound, and extremely simplified sprites. I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless !

You'll find a web version to be able to play immediately, and a OneDrive link with downloads for the GameMaker Studio project, with HTML5 and .exe exports.

At first, I did not understand the 'meticulous level design' part. Then I realised I only reached 2 of the three endings. That last jump was tight :-)
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot (and even though they are simple, I liked the design of the lamps).
Great job!

Very nice idea :) I like this multi-endings thing.

Oh nice, I unlocked 2 of the ends, not sure if there are any more.
The game is simple and sweet, but I did notice that I was only looking at the character itself while running the game. It kind of hurt my brain that he was that close to the left of the screen, so maybe it wouldnt hurt if you moved him a few more pixels to the right!

Nice concept. If you extended this with some more levels it could be really challenging and fun.

My stat is 2/3. Never got to see the third ending, but it was fun.

Yahou ! I've seen the 3 endings :D. You are the game I past the most time :D. The level design is great, but a little bit of sound will be a plus :). Good job o/

It's over too quickly! The controls are good and the core mechanic is fun, I just wish there was more of it!

Very polished for what it is, but very short.
