AGE by Kouthem

[raw]
made by Kouthem for LD34 (COMPO)
A simple top-down 2D game with both themes "Growing" and "Two-button control".
You play as someone you don't know, trying get to the end.
As you perform action action, time move forward for you. You will grow old rather quickly.

X to rotate clockwise and change where you are facing.
Z to move in the direction you are facing

Dark! I could not for the life of me get very far. Kept spinning in circles. Or maybe that was the point? :P

Interesting game, but I got really annoyed by the controls.

Arrrghh I am getting so old! I like the art/audio. Control was tricky at first, but that's part of the fun. Well done :).

ended up becoming all about speed and memorizing the level. I couldn't read half the text because it was all too far away from the path, and going to read it took life away, which i guess in itself was a metaphor

Looks, sounds, and plays really nice, but I wasn't able to beat it, so I'm judging based off of level 1, assuming there's more. I find the enemy AI to be quite a bit annoying, and I think that the age drains a bit too fast, but I could be wrong.

Interesting concept. I did not escape. Good work considering the short time available.

Very cool game. I feel as if every person will take something different away from this game which is impressive.

Nice entry. It reminded me a bit of Passage (dunno if you know about this game and had it in mind while you were doing yours ? :)).
Short and dark, liked it!

Maybe the UI could've been polished a bit more, but anyway good job

The game is awesome! I love the concept of growing in this game. But the use of the other theme (2 buttons).. it really is a problem for the gameplay. I would be better using only one theme ;-) Good job anyway.

Interesting concept, though the execution is a bit bland. Also very hard to get to the end, even when I tried to race past everything! Devs during jams often end up making their games a bit too hard because they've been playing it all weekend :P

Interesting! Really unusual control scheme - took some getting used to. I liked the way the character's appearance changed with their age, though I couldn't figure out what the hearts and eyes were meant to represent. Nice art as well.
