Keep the Fire Alive FINAL by Krebzor

[raw]
made by Krebzor for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

This is our first game together for my wife and me, and we did it for the fun of it during the weekend here inside our home. The inspiration for this was kinda of our origins of latin america where there are indigenous people and the several different rites of passages there are.

My wife did the art for the game and I tried doing the programming and music, please comment any feedback.

Hope you guys enjoy the art, music and gameplay. Have a good time!

Edit: Fixed the link! The game is available now!! The file under the name LD46 is the one you should acces!! Please turn down the volume a little! xD!

Now the link is fixed - I love this idea! The art is phenomenal and the gameplay, while having it's fair dose of game jam jankyness, is brilliant and I'd love to see more levels of this. Only criticism is that the music was pitched wayyy too high and my ears were destroyed, but apart from that - amazing!

Damn, the art is v v good. The music is too loud and high pitched, but otherwise it's a really solid entry. Great job!

Love the art style - the game looks amazing!! Controls are solid and the game loop is fun. Agreed that the music is a little piercing, but not a major problem.

The graphics are nice (love the art), but the "tutorial fonts" ("grab me to not die" text) break the whole style. Animations and sound are pretty cool!

First of all, thank you for trying out my game. I had to play yours now! The art and music fit each other really well. It has a unique style to it, and that is great! Overall a really enjoyable experience with a great mood!

The art is fantastic! I thought the music was pretty nice, and I like the concept a lot. It was pretty challenging and a little stressful at times. Great entry overall!

The overall is pretty cool, the art is gorgeous but the mechanics are kind of poor... But it's really cool for a first game, keep going !

I really liked the art style but it seemed the levels tilemap wasnt finished completely (but thats just me knitpciking), The sound design was good as well as the gameplay. Good game overall! If you are going to continue this project outside of ludum dare consider adding a minimap!

Art is lovely and the concept is simple and fun! But I'm sorry that was hard to be focus on the game with the music too high-pitched for me... But I think it's me don't worry, it's really good for a first game! Good job :)

Very interesting concept. Graphics are lovely, but I wish there's more mechanic to it other than avoiding enemies. But overall I had a blast playing. Nicely done!

Good game, i very like art style. One thing: when enemies touch wall it makes my fire smaller. Overall nice game.

Good game, i like the fire mechanic. The puzzles is simple but I see the potential haha.

Nice :)

I really love the art style. Like, I havent seen anything really like this and its beautiful. Deserves #1 art in my book. The music was a bit annoying, theres a lot of high frequency instruments chosen with no bass to even it out and it definitely threw my ears in for a loop. Its also really loud. The concept is a little bit basic but still fun!

The characters art looks pretty. But there is only one windows Build? Why?? Is there an ubuntu or mac build ? Or a web version? or a video gameplay someone made?? why??? I can't play it :(

I didn't encounter any bugs, the art was cute, and the game is decent. The music needs some work. It's a bit too high pitched. There are times where it started to sound halloweeny which was better.

OMG! I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! Art is amazing! But music, be careful with that, because it can slightly damaged the game experience.

Well, this is a solid one for a first time! Good job you two. The art is amazing, the audio is nice, tech part - well, I didn't see any bugs, so tech part is good. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is poor. But it's not the thing you can't learn - just experiment, play more games, do sketches, and you'll get it. I really hope to see you again on LD!

I love the art style!

What drives me crazy tho is that controlled character is constantly pulled downside. It feels like playing with drifting analoge stick.

Cheers!

Loved the art and music, very fitting! Just a question, did you forget to disable the gravity? For some reason there is a slight force pushing you down the screen, or am I going insane?
🎤 Krebzor
30. Apr 2020 · 14:25 UTC
@physiker2001 nah it was not the gravity, I just noticed it a couple of days ago, it was that the little Fire when going smaller it also makes the Shaman dude move downwards for how it changes the Transform, I already did some changes for some small bugs on the game. But my wife and me have been busy with Uni this weeks so will try to upload a better version of game soon

If the graphics are great, I would like the character to be a little faster, very good job!
