Out of the Shadows by Baconinvader

made by Baconinvader for LD 39 (JAM)

Collect items, power generators and fight to survive for as long as possible against some spooky creatures. This game isn't very good, but it's better than what I did last year! Feel free to criticise, every bit of feedback helps. Hope you enjoy! Game can be downloaded here: http://gamejolt.com/games/outoftheshadows/273347

I can`t figure the gameplay, but it seems good

Quite a nice little game, I like the torch mechanic. It'd be nice if you could use the number keys to quick switch weapons rather than keep right clicking to get back to the torch. I guess it could use few quality improvments like blood spatter or something when shooting enemies. Otherwise, good job :)

Pretty fun game :)

Gameplay is a bit slow but I think that was intended. Nonetheless, really cool concept. I loved the flash-light feature. Something new and unique.

Good going!
Good luck and congratulations! :D

It was odd to fall through the floor when I started walking and just kept falling.
The enemies came very close together and nothing I pushed seem to have any effect on the generators.
I really wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing.

Okey I'll try to give you some tips for your third ludum dare ;).
First, find an artist. Not an expert one, just someone with time to polish the art.
Second one: Faster games, makes exciting gameplays. Try to level up all those values to see how it works.
Third one: if you are doing a shooter in a plataformer, watch the J.W conference (one of the Vlambeer's component) about game feel. Amazing and so useful.
Overall opinion: Not a polished game but a nice try, and only a few steps away from a finished game. Good work!

I like the theme, creeping creatures waiting in the dark and stuff, but it is a little slow paced.
Overall nice job!

Nice job! It would have been nice if the player was a bit quicker (walking, shooting...). Also, I found myself waiting for batteries and oil, but as it is random (I guess), I was wasting amos just to get something else to spawn. And I had trouble getting how to launch the game once on the main menu as the buttons weren't super responsive (it takes about a second to activate).

Nice little game with solid gameplay though, keep it up for next time ;)

I was able to score 3000 points :)

Nice mechanics with torch. Good job!
As was said before, find an artist and make game faster.
I feel that this game needs some end-point purpose.

Hey, the main mechanics is cool. I'm really bad so I can't get big scores x). Nice job!

I liked the lighting in the game but the player was a bit too slow.
