Ravenwood by Danik
You are a lone cat, finding yourself in an unfamiliar place scattered with mysterious glowing orbs.
Arrows to move, Z or Up to jump, X or down to claw.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to add a satisfying ending, the current one leaves a lot to the imagination. I will add a better ending in a future version.
NOTE: Beware of flashing lights!

The end was a little anti-climactic, but it was enjoyable anyway... and I found the secret place, woulda been fun if there was something to do there, hah :)
With the exception of the humor category, you get A-1 ratings.
However, I've played about a zillion reasonably generic platformers already this LD, and this one was pretty characterless in terms of goals/objectives, so I didn't enjoy playing it much.
Oh, I tried falling through each of the holes in the rock (to my death) because there was no indication that there wasn't something cool down them.
Matt, yea I really wanted to add something interesting there, a kitten perhaps. :P No time to spare though.
Aslai, awesome. I'm really happy you liked it that much. :)
Increpare, thanks for the honest critique, it's much appreciated. Good point about the holes in the rock, I will do something to make it more obvously dangerous, like water. Or I might just add something cool down there.
Awesome animations. Gameplay is solid too, I love flinging bugs (?) around. The "gain shelter from rain"-mechanic is nice aswell.
Sound: Beautifully simplistic. You don't even notice it, it blends that well into the scene.
Still, awesome work. Keep it up! :-)
I'm a big fan of the art style, and I love the soundtrack. The controls feel overly sensitive, though. I didn't feel like I was really in control of the kitty.
Jack, Shigor, dr_soda, thanks! I will work more on it soon.
The regeneration was so slow, and the wait was so uneventful, that I tabbed out and did something else for 3 minutes (never a good sign in a game :-) )
The little bugs also rock.
