The Game

A little ghost, lost in an unknown forest, try to escape the big bad wolf and find his friend. As a ghost, lights are deadly to him. Don't go near them or your little ghost will fade. b0bd78620d070b86a1a33012ecef3055.gif

Procedural Generation

each run, terrain will be procedurally generated.

Developement

Game made with Unity. I was alone and my goal was to discover how to handle 3D projects and post processing, as I only developed 2D games in the past. I think it turned out pretty well :wink:.

/!\ By default, keyboard layout is setup for ''AZERTY''.

Known Issues

  • Sometimes collisions with tree make the player fall through the floor and provoke loss.
  • Play button is not answering sometimes.
  • Player don't look in the right direction. I'll try to patch it in a near future.

First of all, I was surprised to see Carrie from The Amazing World of Gumball. It's kind of funny as it could have been an extra episode of her life. I don't even know if you know this TV Show though.
Then I would say it totally fits the theme. Trees are so annoying ! In a good way ;)

Despite the fact that I didn't feel satisfied when I won (probably because I expected more friends to save), I liked to play it.
Thanks !

@sherwood thanks for the feedback, yeah I know the show (one of the best btw) and yeah I thought she was perfect for this !
yeah, I struggle all sunday with some algorithms, and I didn't have the time to implement more gameplay :/

I like the aesthetics, but I feel like the baddies are just too fast! I also had a round where I spawned in and immediately died from an enemy.

The idea is cool, I hope you expand on it post-LD!

The graphics, music and entire atmosphere is very nice. Map generation process is interesting and kinda make me anticipate anything that would happen next - I love the emotion in this game.

BTW. Seems windows build still has problem: clicking play in the menu doesn't always work.

Simple gameplay, though controls seemed to work in a strange way at times. It's not always clear where you can pass between 2 trees and where they are too close together. Lanterns sometimes were hard to spot due to them being hidden behind trees. On the string side, the graphics are nice and I especially liked world generation and win/lose animation.

This is nice, with cool graphics and terrain generation, and a very nice music added to the lot !

For some reason, a ghost keeps lunging at me as soon as I start the game... I can't get far sadly... I would have like to, though :) This is super cool ! Congratulations !

I've tried the Linux version it runs smoothly. I really like how you generate the world, It's a fun thing to add a little delay so I can see the generation process. The game is really moody, has its unique world with not-so-easy navigation. I also generate the world in our game only in 2D so I know it's not that easy, good job. :)

Very challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx45BEcC9_s
