Hi there, I'm a member of the 2-person dev team Great Between. This was our 3rd Ludum Dare and we had a ton of fun and learned a lot!

Check out our game and rate if you get the chance! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/star-seed-apocalypse

This time, we wanted to make a top-down 2D adventure with a similar tone to fantasy adventures, except set in a science fiction world. In this game, you play as an interplanetary landscaper who just happened to be close enough to answer a distress call from a planet that has been overrun by a sentient plant-being from another dimension! Grab your trusty Plasma Chainsaw and get to work cleaning up the mess!

We had a lot of fun putting together the art and story, and building a small game world.

We made all the pixel art and music during the jam, and came up with a story as well. We didn't quite finish getting all of the story into the game, but if you're interested to learn more of the lore, I added the "Scientist's Journals" into the Itch page. (we had intended to add computer monitors inside the buildings that would contain these journal entries). We also didn't quite get to building out any of the bosses or dungeons.

We learned a ton in the process and fully scoped all the remaining features. If you're interested in seeing more we would love to hear your feedback !! And if you see issues or areas of improvement, would love to hear that feedback as well.
