LudumData

In Artery by FurtherForm

[raw]
made by FurtherForm for LD35 (COMPO)
Short manic game of survival in stressed arteries.
Keyboard used as a cellular automata styled controller.

As time ran short there is one hectic level, but its fun. Give it a go!
It runs on web, but because of the tall resolution (400x720), access it through the link.
Designed for US and Scandinavian keybindings.

Please try the updated version from this link:

Rate by the Game Jam Version.


Music made with Otomata Genrator; Sound effects with Bfxr;
Unity, Photoshop, Blender, Audacity;
Lots of sweat, curses, (re)learning. Good fun weekend!

I can see how it works, but unfortunately the keys seem mismapped on my keyboard? (I've got a UK keyboard)

Thanks, good point. I tested it with US and Scandinavian mapping, shouldn't be hard to add different mapping for future versions.

It's a neat idea but a hard game, I died a lot:) I really like the aesthetics. Nice job!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

I enjoyed the audio and the graphics a lot, but it was a bit confusing, and once I did get it, it seemed my keyboard didn't always want to cooperate with me. Cool game, though!

It has actual levels, an ending and polish.
Thank you all for checking out the game!

Great idea, but really really hard! I had fun trying to reach far on it anyway! Good job.

Cool game! Great graphics and music. The learning curve is a bit high though!

Very cool concept and the art is beautiful.
It's a bit too hard, but i think that it's only the original control scheme.

Really like the idea, but the key mappings makes this unplayable.

Gorgeous game! The controls are slightly wonky (didn't always work right for me). But the game was really nice and well put together!

Nice one, just the Key Mapping was wrong for my keyboard.

A really interesting entry. The mechanic is novel and very interesting, but sadly got swamped with enemies very quickly and didn't know how to avoid the large amount.
Collisions also seemed slightly off. A fruit fell in between where two of the keys I had enabled were and it didn't collide.
