Sparkling by aaforcebox
Sparkling is a Topdown Survival Arcade game.

Using any skill, moving or being hit drains you energy. You can shoot enemies to collect energy drops, but can you really afford the energy cost? How long can you survive?

Started learning about general gamedev a few months ago. This is mey first Ludum Dare. Took me some good 15+ hours to put this together. Powered with Unity, Blender, BFXR and Photoshop. :)
You can play online, or download for Windows, Mac or Linux.

Nice arcade entry, so good that i could lower the vol in the menu!
I also liked the music and the background seems to change every other game. Nice touch!
- everything haveing a cost
- Very nice menu
Things for improvement
- Music - per my daughter - 'it hurts my brain'
- I would move the spacebar attack to right click, so it is all on the mouse other then movement
- Graphics didn't make thing clear what they were
Comment
- I couldn't figure out if the 'spacebar' ability actually did anything functional.
