Hello, I’m Isabelle, and this is the second time I participate in the Ludum Dare !

I really enjoyed LD23 (maybe you remember my game Tinysasters), and I wanted to do it again.

Lucas’s Quest Backwards was supposed to be a compo entry (like Tinysasters). I worked alone on it during the two first days, but then, about 5 hours before the deadline I realised that I couldn’t make it on time, the project was too big.

So I decided to go for the Jam instead and I asked Ygwee to help me with the level design. He designed the 4 levels of the game and I really like what he did ! I used the 3rd day to finish the graphics and add some sounds. Like a compo entry, all assets were done during the Ludum Dare.

Now about the game…

Lucas’s Quest Backwards is a platformer with many story inserts. The game is about a guy from a distant future who doesn’t like what humans have become and wishes he could go back in time to live with his ancestors. Trying to be more like them, he takes several steps backwards in mankind’s evolution.

But there’s a twist…

There are 2 endings to discover.

This game includes kittens. They actually play an important part in the story…

Now time for some screens !

I’ll probably write a postmortem in the next few days.

I hope you’ll enjoy the game. Looking forward to playing yours
