Space Horror Sokoban by levlaj

[raw]
made by levlaj for LD 42 (JAM)

This is a small action-puzzle game with a weird twist. I'll let you figure out the rest.

You can play it here: https://lev3lgames.itch.io/space-horror-sokoban

Controls are: WASD - move Space - shoot (in look direction) Mouse for clicking on UI

This has been my first game jam ever, and I did all the design, programming, and "artwork" myself.

Hope you enjoy!

Good first try.
I found the random enemy spawns very frustrating sometimes.

Cool game. It kept me interested. I managed to shoot the bomb and it turned into a block, so I don't know if that's intended. The player was also a little hard to distinguish from the back ground. Fun game overall. Great job!

@boyturnedrobot the bomb turning into a block is bug: as everything is physics based, it didn't always work as I expected. About that character, noted, next time I'll add a more visible player!
Thank you for playing!

I like the concept. The game is pretty fun and enjoyable. It has the exact amount of challenge to keep doing the next mission. The only thing I think it could be improve is the timing from the enemy appearing until the enemy is in game. Because in both situations is an insta-death. I would put that when the pink dots are appearing it doesn't kill you until the monster is there. So the player has one second to act and move. But all the other components of the game are great. Really cool game! :D

@bichodust thank you! And that is a great idea, making the spawning creatures non-lethal could make the game better.

I loved this game. Great puzzles, nice coding on the enemies. The choice to shoot and reduce your space is a great touch and the timer at the end of each level is the icing on the cake. Good work all around!

Interesting idea! It is really fun. My only complaint is that the enemies appears to move randomly and I don't think that works very well with puzzles. Aside from that great game. =]

Great idea! Fits the theme very well.

People have said most of what I could say. Besides that, I'd say the controls feel a little unresponsive. Sometimes a keypress was ignored / didn't have effect apparently.
