Ruinous Reconnaissance by LukeZaz

[raw]
made by LukeZaz for LD36 (JAM)
A woefully-incomplete platformer that was intended to be a simplistic ruins exploration puzzle game. What you see in the screenshots is essentially all there is - my planning did not work out well this time around.

Controls are W, A, S, D or arrow keys and space. Press Escape to quit.

While I didn't get a vast majority of this game done, I did end up learning a lot throughout the process, and found this to be a very worthwhile endeavor nonetheless, and I figure it's better to submit something than nothing at all.

(Closing note: Do not try to do 128x128-sized tiles unless you know you can do it. I spent almost two days on art alone!)

With more space to explore, perhaps some enhanced animations, and some puzzles to solve, this could probably actually be really good.

The tile-work you did is amazing, and the animations are a nice blend of classic 2D animating and the 3D look. Wish the platforming felt a little less floaty, though.

(By the way: Heyo, fellow Button Masher fan! Good to see you made it in.)
