Dark Forest by rfgpfeiffer
a nightmare platformer
* Theme
You are alone in a forest. You cannot see the way home. You have a torch. When you use it, you might not be alone any more.
The central game mechanic is based on cartoon logic. The Monsters never move the darkness. A pair of eyes only becomes active when you see who is behind it.
Try not to get eaten and do not jump into bottomless pits! The fingerposts point to the next level.
* Requirements
Programmed with python 2.7.2 and pygame 1.9.1 on Ubuntu 11.10. Tested with 32-Bit Python 2.7 and pygame 1.9.2 on Windows.
run with =python main.py=
* Controls:
A,D: left,right
W: jump
Mouse: point torch
click to turn on the Light

I might write a lobby with wxWidgets or TkInter for the extended version after the c3 congress.
