The Visitor by Jezzamon

[raw]
made by Jezzamon for LD28 (COMPO)
A tragic accident leaves you stranded on an alien planet with only one of your limbs! Can you make your way back home?


Controls:
Arrow Keys to move
Space to fire?

If you get a solid yellow screen, just resize the window (I don't know why this happens, seems to be a mac only problem)


(If you're confused on what to do, once you find the mayor you should go back and speak to the healing person)

This is the best fucking song I've ever heard. No lie.
Infinite stars.

Loved the story and the characters and muffin gun and... ugh the mayor! ... lol I only got one.

Great job making something so simple yet so captivating.

I won! Jumping one block high jumps was a little finicky, however really neat game. I liked the muffin gun and nonsensical plot.

I found the game a nice change of pace from other entries, but I wasn't engaged enough to stay with it long.

I liked that it was more story focused and presented me with a somewhat intriguing area to explore immediately. As soon as I went into the cave though to find that the enemies were one hit send you back to a checkpoint machines I wasn't as thrilled playing it anymore.

Another thing too, I found the platforming a tad floaty for precise movement. It's kind of minor, but since the area's designs are crafted to only allow one way up/down it led to some frustration needing to repeat the same jumps again.

It's weird though because even though it may seem I didn't really enjoy my time with the game... I kind of sort of did? I think it was mostly the dialogue and some witty lines that left a certain charm for me.

Great game, it's got all the great qualities of a much larger game. Can completely imagine all the alien's future adventures already :) Bravo.

I got the penny, was that the end? Also if you die and go back to the gun, you get stuck as the enemies are all asleep but if you touch them you die.

I really enjoyed this one. Very funny. Though there is a glitch where if a scene reloads, any monsters you fed previously will remain sleeping, but can still cause you to go back to the checkpoint. Other than that, good job :)

Yeah, two glitches I'm aware of are:
1. Sleeping enemies become enemies when you revisit places
2. Your health doesn't reset when you respawn (you would normally have 1 extra chance)

Really nice work. Possibly the most 'complete' entry I've played so far. Have some stars good sir!

I like the graphics. It would be nice if you could jump through platforms, I kept hitting my head against platforms borders.

Nice game (although I still couldn't get my hand on that missing limb)! Solid entry with a story and everything - good job!

Good work!

Really fantastic entry. Everything feels solid and polished, and like others have said that music track is great.

You had me at muffin gun :) Some of the triggers will fire over and over, like if you talk to the Shaman after talking to the mayor, he'll warp in a second time...

Love love love! This is so full of charm, the way the character inches his/her way along with that poor abused limb… The dialogue was fantastic and very witty. The colour palette changes really broke proceedings up nicely. Controls tuned expertly well, a very accomplished game

Muffin-powers activate! I liked how this is a violence-free shoot-em-up. Also the colour scheme is really great.

Nice game! I feel like I duplicated the Mayor, but that is OK lol
Also, you need to be at an exact spot to win the game

I won (and I'm awful at platformer) and was pleased by playing your game. I feel a kind of Game Box Color art vibe too.

Great game!
One thing that would have been great would have been direct movement control in midair. With that I mean, that the character would keep on moving only, while a direction is kept pressed. But thats no big deal ;)
The graphics style is quite nice! I really liked the "lighting" effect of the background, when in a cave :)
The story is nice and the music fits really well.
Great work! :)

A muffin gun - awesome! The game is very solid and has its own charme, appealing visuals, a nice music loop. Good job!

Just a little too short to be honest. Music got annoying after a while though. Not bad!

Really liked the art style, the graphics felt minimal but seemed to have a lot character to them and were overall appealing. The audio was excellent, the quirky and optimistic music felt like something which would not sound out of place humming out of an old CRT television's speaker as bright eyed children sat excitedly in front, clasping firmly the Sega Master System controller.

The dialogue felt fun which was echoed in the game overall. I quite enjoyed the little story and the characters all had a bit of personality to them. I especially liked the fact that the game had a distinct beginning and ending, leading it to feel like a complete little package.

A really excellent effort for 48 hours!

I love it but some of the jumps and back-tracking are just a little teeny bit brutal.

The control seems really fluid and I <3 the muffin gun!
