Mine of Shadows by JesmoDev

[raw]
made by JesmoDev for Ludum Dare 46 (COMPO)

MineOfShadowsOptimised.gif Goal
You're on a quest to gather valuable gold and iron ores in the abandoned mine. Your only companion is your mine cart with its lantern. Shadow creatures lurk in the shadows and they don't like intruders, however they are afraid of the light. Feed your lantern with coal to keep it alive and it will keep you alive.

See if you can escape the mine before you run out of coal! And maybe even with some gold and iron!

NOTE: You start with 5 coal. Forgot the UI for that. So you have to keep track of that yourself ;)

Controls
F = Deposit coal
R = Reload weapon
Left mouse = Shoot/Interact
WASD = Move

Tools Used - Unity - PyxelEdit - Ableton Live 10

Thanks for checking out my game!

Cool Game, However it was a bit slow at the beginning

Great game, I absolutely love the art style!
Two things for improvement: aiming feels a bit clunky (but maybe my laptop is just a bit slow responding), and sometimes I shoot at the coal/gold/iron deposit instead of collecting it (maybe slightly too far away?).

Amazing Game, It's a lot of fun. The only thing to criticize would be that the exit-button didn't work for me.

Very cool. The music, sound and graphics (especially that shader) give the whole game a cosy vibe. The gun was also easy to control and the game feels very polished. Well done!

Best game I've seen based around keeping a fire alive. It was a good balance between collecting resources and fighting off enemies. Great game!

Thank you for your entry!

I felt a bit depressed and cozy after I stop playing the game. Almost like when you are whole life alone on the quest noone else would do and you just somehow get used to the enemy enviroment. Dont take it badly it is good, if the game is about something, its about leaving some emotions and you left a mark in me.

Graphics in done well. Only problem which I had was the way of interacting with the coal and aiming. It did not feel natural to me. Shame on missing the ui elements, it would boost the game a lot!

Good job, thanks. :)

Love this graphics style! The missing UI actually makes it more tense for me, not knowing when you will run out.

The shotgun is nice and satisfying, like how the monsters eyes glow in the dark < like all good monsters should.

Very fun idea, loved the watching the monsters creep closer as the light went out.
