Survive The Desert by angrygeometry
First time using Stencyl, resulting in a horrible 48 hours. Survive the desert by navigating through using the compass in the bottom right of the screen. Mouse clicks for everything!
MS Paint for graphics, audio in Audacity (murdering a guitar), game in Stencyl.
Native resolution is 640 x 480 but it seems to stretch in browser, so I uploaded it to the Stencyl site: http://www.stencyl.com/game/play/10168 same game just the proper resolution.

I got a bit frustrated on my first playthrough or so because I could not tell if the things I was clicking on were making any difference. The interface was erratic enough that I thought for a moment the progression from screen to screen was random and/or the NESW clicks were being disregarded.
Definitely conveys loneliness and despair.
I wish sometimes load between 1 thing and the next were slightly faster though.
The slow transition scenes were a pain, though. Maybe after 5 steps or so you could give the player the option to press some key to skip the transition? The delay makes your game a bit hard to replay.
It is one of my faves of the ludum dare for the theme and mood ! Also the audio and visual style are both super.
Nude Guy will haunt my naps for many days to come...
Nice one! Really loved it. Easily my favorite experience this Ludum dare. (Though the gameplay is pretty simple certainly)
