Trespasser by Beep Boop

[raw]
made by Beep Boop for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

screenshot1.png You're far from home, in the dark, barraged by rain and thunder, and worst of all, alone. You have to find your way home despite all this, avoiding the wood's many terrors.

Controls: Use WASD or arrow keys to move. Hold space to run/restart when dead. Controller is supported (click in the game window if it doesn't pick it up)

Please note that we do not advice hiding under trees in the event of a real thunderstorm (https://www.wikihow.com/Avoid-Getting-Hit-by-Lightning). screenshot2.png screenshot3.png

I loved the mechanics of the game. The audio was really good at immersing myself into the game. Needing to stay by a object to absorb the lighting is a really cool idea. Monster feel really scary when your trying to not get hit by both.

Nice game! I liked the changes between dark and lightened scene, and how you can really see where you are going only in the brief moments of the lighting.

Agree with people above. Lighting effects are cool, I like the fact that you see where to go only when lightning strikes. Graphics is cool, I like it. But slow movement of character annoys me. I liked to move fast pressing Space but character slows down shortly and then I need to wait again to be able to move fast. I understand that you did that by purpose, but I think it would be better player experience if character moved faster but the level itself is larger in scale.
Good job!

I like the environment art its super cute, great game but I do think the movement felt a bit choppy if I were to make one critic

The artstyle is so cute even though the mood of the game is quite dark. :D Really like it!

Amazing art and very good mood. The lightning is very well done, it's felt good to avoid it, the main mechanic is very clever. I like a lot this use of the theme. Well done !

Cute game and interesting idea. Could've been a bit faster IMO with all these obstacles.

Really liked this game! The 2.5D style, kind of a don't starve vibe. The lightning mechanic was very original, the game was easy to understand, overall great work!!

Fun, original idea. Would have liked to see a bit further once you leave the first little area. Great sound too.

Nice concept, we like the atmosphere and the light work. Better made an objects transparent, when player stay beside them. Well done!

This idea works very well for the theme. I appreciate that you all added an extra element with the monsters and the circle acting as a timer looks great. Well done!
