Choices by thirteenthspiral

[raw]
made by thirteenthspiral for LD34 (COMPO)
Name:
Choices

Theme:
Two Buttons

Controls:
In this game, you play with only the right arrow key, to move forward, and the space bar, to jump. In each room, you are presented with a choice, and you select that choice by jumping into a hole. If you miss your hole, you can go to the end of the room to be teleported back to the front.

Plot:
You play as Phil, an average man, who now has to save a princess. Randomness ensues. Brief Warning: This game is not supposed to be serious :P

Tools:
Art - Game Maker Studio & Priskel
Music - BFXR
Game Maker Studio

Fonts used:
Visitor TT1 BRK

Special Thanks:
Shaun Spalding for his tutorials on Youtube.
My friend Zuka for convincing me to do this and to get into game development in general. I don't know his name on here unfortunately.

Side Note:
Thank you all for playing this! Also, I'm sorry for the lack of OS support, my Game Maker Professional license hasn't been working properly! This is my first game ever, so please don't expect too much from this. Please feel free to judge me as harshly as possible :P If this game is utter garbage, please tell me so.

Plans for the future:
More branches and endings.
Better Graphics xD

Thanks,
ThirteenthSpiral

Good idea to play on the visual novel genre. Could make use of branching to open up some possibilities (right now I can only guess the right path), and we couls move left/right when making choices. Liked the humour, which is really good in this type of game.

Haha, my favorite yes / no game I've seen so far. My only qualm is the inability to move left.. kinda caught me off guard a few choices in. Good work ! 'v'

Cool narrative game. It reminded me of the old Goosebumps choose your own adventure books. I had to see all the endings!

Really good for your first game. I found it quite funny. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/aHYNcWsg9Wg

I really liked the different outcomes and the whole format was pretty unique for a decision-driven game. Well done!

Rather than having to restart the whole game moving back a couple of choices would be better.

Nice use of choices. Instead of pressing buttons like everyone else you made it interactive.

Awsome story, a lot of surprise. I think I tried every option just to see the game over message. Keep up the good work

Well, the audiovisuals aren't stunning and the idea isn't super-fresh; it's pretty much a text adventure with unorthodox controls, after all. However, I rather liked exploring different options. I found a multitude of 2 good endings, many bad endings and one false bad ending (i.e. the one where you watch TV with orcs; how can that be a bad thing?!). Humor is strong with this one.
