Unstable Cave by HybridLizard

[raw]
made by HybridLizard for Ludum Dare 49 (UNFINISH)

Please be aware that it hardly can be named a game, has no menus and a very simplistic gameplay. Fly rocket and pick up power-ups, avoid falling rocks.

Do not let your Health or Stability progress bars fall to 0 - any of those mean GAME OVER.

This was kind of fun. I liked flying the ship, and the action was very fast paced. I would have liked it if it didn't feel like the rocks were following me at all times so I could actually dodge them, but otherwise pretty fun.

@lelulagames Thanks a lot for checking out the game, especially in its current rough and unpolished state!

You are right about rocks. I had to make a lot of corner cutting in this game as I did it learning Godot at the same time.

I simply had to leave those hacky solutions with rocks, shakiness, movement, lack of menus to "finish" something. And still I have uploaded it as Unfinished, so people could be aware of its shortcomings.

I had plenty of ideas how to make the game better, but not enough Godot skills yet to implement them on time. Thanks again for checking anyway!

It's unfinished so it's hard to say much about it. Flying the rocket up felt fun and fast! Good luck with your Godot journey! (I know nothing but Unity and RPG Maker)

EDIT: I guess something that would make this immediately better is a reset button ;)

@ismael-rodriguez I appreciate a lot checking the game. I hope you can still sleep after seeing that ;-)
Thanks for a tip with restarting!

I may work on the game a bit in future, so at least there will be some menu, something more to do, conditional shakiness, polishing etc. No ETA though.

I though your cool game might be made in Godot, because of the style and good 2d tools in this engine. I think you can try it. No daunting installations or downloading GBs of stuff is required, so it is friendly to check it out.
