LD45: With Nothing

With Nothing is a 2d rpg that is inspired by the storytelling tabletop role playing game created by team member vulpineblazeyt in the theme of the LD45 challenge " Start with nothing "

Click anywhere on the opening screen to start the game.

To Move: Arrow keys and or the W A S D keys.

To Shoot: Left-Mouse.

To Swing Sword: SPACE key.

Collecting wood for the fire is your first goal, but try to avoid specters they're dangerous. Once complete, you'll have a sword.

You woke up alone… or did you… the Nothing can give you power, but should you use it? You could just rely on the strength within you, but who are you? You can't seem to remember… Does the Nothing have answers? Because all you have is Nothing...

This the first time ShellDragonGirl has taken part in a game challenge and is new to coding and game development. With Nothing will be her first published game ever!

Teammate vulpineblazeyt has already had a few LD challenges under his belt and is showing SDG the ropes.

Together we're happy to share with you With Nothing! Please enjoy!

Great start. Made me nostalgic for the older platform games. However, there were several bugs. I wasn't sure if the ghost shadow was intentional or not.

The music was very nice, but the text ran off the edge of both sides of the screen so it was hard for me to follow the story.

Wood spawned in areas I couldnt reach and I had to refresh. I am confused if nothing gets 10 is that an alternate ending or something. I also couldnt go anywhere after I got the sword.

Good mood and graphics! The shadow was very very well played

Really like the style you have here, very old school looking. I like the music in the game, it really helped create the atmosphere, so well done on that. Maybe add in some more sound effects, too. Also, the text in the menu screen isn't crop properly, so texts are difficult to follow. Otherwise, good job on the game and hope y'all had fun making it.

I think I soft-locked it, the ghosts stopped spawning and I couldn't leave D:

Nicely done! The controls might feel a bit more natural if you add acceleration. Some text was overlapping. I collected all the wood and got a sword and I think my shadow took it from there :-)

Atmospheric and nice start, but was not able to get further after receiving a sword, even after few restarts, there was not enough wood\ghosts\nothing ...

Well, there's a scene. Looks like a decent enough foundation, but between what I assume is a vertical phone resolution and the lack of progression, there's not much to rate. Good effort for what it is, tho.
