quite a shame

sadly – because of university stuff and some private reasons I can’t participate in LD#23

have fun guys !

for protocol – here’s the idea I had:

you’re playing an insane person in an asylum and think that there’s a monster around you, trying to kill you. however, you can “shoot” mental rays or something that can scare the monster away for a short time. (of course you just imagine all of it)
so – you’re starting in a little tiny cell and have to scare the monster away from you – after some shots it disappears for a while and you’re alone in your tiny world. the only thing you can do is to shoot and jump around until you eventually realize that you can destroy the walls with your shots – and enter a “new” world, which is populated by similar monsters and the game is consisting out of 2 or 3 action platformer levels with the “monster” as your end boss, but you can’t defeat it, so it kills you.
after all of this the screen fades out and you see your character lying on the floor in your cell. a doctor comes in and diagnosis your death.
-the end

Here’s a little test-prototype I’ve done though: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2667903/test.swf
