Remember that game about walking on water? No? Well.. okay..

It just so happens I made a flashy itch.io site for the post-compo version of the game(We’re talking Under Ytan here for anyone not keeping up, you know, that I made for LD29), and I just kind of wanted to tell you guys it exists. Ludum Dare is pretty much the reason I still make games, it made me actually finish something, over and over again! Awesome feeling! So as kind of a loveletter to Ludum I want to tell you that you can find both Under Ytan and a game I made earlier this year(Outside of LD, believe it or not) on my itch.io page!

The game is call “hets” and is of the 2D platformer, hectic, randomized, powerup collecting, monster shooting kind. It also is in pretty edgy gritty pixel style, a style I’m kinda pleased with if I can say so myself!

I like games where things are fast. Very fast. I also like games that are sort of unforgiving, and doesn’t hold your hand really, but still lets you practice until you are good enough to beat the crap out of it! I think I managed to make hets one of those games.

Why not give it a try, both hets and Under Ytan are free to download and play! (But I mean, if you’re thinking to yourself “Hey, that Ditto guy is probably starving and struggling to pay rent… Maybe he’d like a dollar!” you caaaan kind of give me a dollar for the effort… if you want to!)

Hope you like the games!

Great so far. However, try saturating the colors just a bit. They SHOULD be powerful, but they’re too powerful for now.

That is a really good point! Both these games are made on my laptop since I’ve been living away from home for a long time now. The screen on my laptop is really shitty so everything is already very saturated, and I also find something satisfying in using full colors (‘255,0,128’ in RGB for instance).

Will keep in mind for future projects, in a week I’m back to using my good old screen also, which has much better colors, making it easier to realize these kinds of problems!

German: gaaaah I thought I’d fixed that.. You’re not the first to have that problem with my games, I wish I had an easy fix for you.. But sadly I don’t the only solution I’ve come up with is me creating a installer for the game which you can install and then play. I’ll upload an installer tonight, don’t have time right now!
