Controls:
WASD to move
Space to jump
Mouse click to interact
Software Used: Unity and Photoshop
This was my first Ludum Dare competition. I set out to create an experience that was not only visually appealing but also thought provoking. I started practicing pixel art recently, so the art direction turned into an interesting blend of pixel art and paper cutout art (Example: http://tinyurl.com/cwx489e). I was struck by the way that the shadows gave depth and detail to the simple shapes cutout from the paper.
The ending is very open-ended, interpret it how you will.
Thanks for checking out my game, hope you enjoy!
Note: The textures will probably render better in the EXE version.

...what is that gray ball anyway?..
The first time, I somehow broke my jump... It means that my character can't jump as far and high than before. If I use the restart icon, it brings me back to the the purple crystal cavern and I can't pass the first jump anymore. So I add to restart. On my second try I was in a hurry to reach the cloud zone and I missed the 3rd green platform two times. on my third try I saw it sinking in the abyss and it never came back. Once again the restart icon was no use T_T ... I didnt had the courage to restart a third time because of the long sequence. For the part I visited, the gfx are very good, and the game have a nice athmosphere.
I'm surprised I was the only one experiencing thoses bugs... My config is window xp on some old netbook NC10.
