You Are Alone by Senosus

[raw]
made by Senosus for LD26 (JAM)
A very minimal game, with a soft soundtrack, and simple graphics. Play as the blue circle, wandering your small world, avoiding others. Some enemies are alike, others are different. However, you are unique, and you are alone.

Made by Michael Roe (@mikeeroe) and Jack Dillon (@JackDirron). Presented under the name of our new studio, Senosus (@Senosus).

Enjoy! :D

Works fine on Win8, but the game itself is really slowly paced, the player circle starts twitching when you stop the cursor, and the enemies can spawn on top of you, instantly killing the player.

Yeah, the game was designed to be slow placed. The twitching was a bug I forgot to remove, and in hindsight, I should have set some sort of boundary so the player cannot enter the spawning point. Thanks for the feedback though! :)

It works fine for me on Win7 :) The game indeeed needs some adjustments, since I believe I was killed by some enemy spawning at my location. Other than that and the twitching, the game worked well, the graphics+music fit well together building a cool atmosphere... Too bad the spawn bug kills the interest of the game!

I kinda wish you had two friends, or at least two more lives. Getting close to two minutes only to start over makes it hard to stick with. I'd rather be able to continue a time or two. Especially since I only got to two different enemies. The music and visuals worked well in setting the mood.

@Wan & Almudys - Thanks! We may even do a re-release after the LD voting is over, and we'll fix those bugs, as well as throw in some more content.

@tankete - That's an awesome idea! Lives would be good, especially considering most people rage-quit after 10 deaths. Thanks for your feedback :)

This works well, and the different enemy types make it a little more engaging than other games of its type. That said, if you were going for a feeling of loneliness, as suggested by the title, having to actively avoid the other dots does not really align well with that idea.
And I'm glad to see you guys are going to continue working on it after the voting!
