It never started with nothing by Lukvasando
Story (not polished): A robot finds himself yet in another game that feel to him like nothing.A black void then shows him the path to the place where lies an answer to the question of why this game was being made...


This was my first ludum dare and game jam event ever, and I had so much fun making this game that I will definetly join the next LD event for certian.I wish I had more energy to polish the game but overall Im happy with the result. Making this game has given me a ton of coding experience and I hope I will make future games Larger and more interesting for a big audience.

sometimes it is visually not clear whats a platform and whats just background. intentional or not?

Just have to restart 2 time the puzzle with the balls because if I active the bottom right one lastly, it's only reveal the half of it and I can't shoot anymore to reveal it, so I reveal the bottom right one first and I can keep going.
One thing I think could be improved: the "doors" were 1) not immediately clear to me as checkpoints and 2) I first tried to actually "enter" the checkpoint by pressing up or W as it might be the case in other games. That had me confused at first, so you could try to make that a bit clearer in some way by notifying the player that their progress had been saved.
I feel that the mechanics with building blocks right before you stand on them great. It has potential, but needs a little more polishing.
Sometime the wrong block materialized and it was a little to slow.
But nevertheless the game has a nice atmosphere and the graphics are also quite cool and fitting
