That was a close one! After last minute problems our game was submitted closer to the deadline than ever before. (3 minutes before submission hour :P)

With our fifth Ludum Dare game down, we would like to present to you:

Trench Coat Tunes

You play as C.T Plaear, a fashionable music connoisseur with a magical cassette tape player.

Trench Coat Tunes protagonist, C.T. Plaear

This competition we tried to focus more on interaction with and exploration of the play environment. This included things like almost all game objects being physically reactive, to needing to find hidden items like keycards and passwords to progress. We also experimented with a combination of 2D and 3D art style, and like how it turned out for the most part.

We ended up with a bit more difficult of a game this time, with players often needing to find the best path through a level if they want a chance to progress past the difficult security guards.

We’ve already received some good feedback, including:
– Player movement is too slow/not as tight as we would have liked.
– Instructing the player on what they need to do could have been done better
– More polish in a few key areas (as we would have liked) could have made a world of difference.

Thank you all for the great responses, and as always we had a great time with this event!

And again, we hope everyone with check out Trench Coat Tunes.
