I managed to come up with an Idea fairly quickly this time round. However, this Idea began to turn into a game I wanted to make about 5 years ago. It is most certainly not the same, but follows similar ideas.<\/p>\n

What I present is a short puzzle game. Short, because I’m not very quick at level design, so there’s only about 11 levels.<\/p>\n

All the graphics were done by hand in microsoft paint XP. Yup, you can hate me for it if you want, but I won’t care.<\/p>\n

The goal is basically to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles by switching between two worlds — The nomal world, where darkness blocks, and the shadow world, where light burns. Anyway, here’s a pic:<\/p>\n

\"final\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on prior Ludum Dare experience, one of the first things I focused on was a key config menu: vitally important for those with out-of-the-ordinary keyboards, as well as people who are uncomfortable with the default controls. Believe me, it helps a bundle.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the game isn’t up yet as I’m gonna see if I can’t compose some background music, but I’ll have it up soon enough on GameJolt and itch.io. If you’re interested in anything I have to say, check out my twitter, @MaddeMichael<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, after seeing what other people have posted, I’m blown away. It’s amazing what you guys can do in such a short time! Anyway, good luck!<\/p>\n
