This game is harder than it looks<\/p><\/div>\n

So, this was my first Ludum Dare ever, and this is my entry: \u00a0Save Zoe<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 So, what is it?<\/p>\n

Play as Baroo the Bear and carry Zoe away from those shady shadelings!\nCan you get to the end of the level and get the Best Ending?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 No, really, what<\/strong> is it?<\/p>\n

Okay, okay. Save Zoe is a platformer of sorts. There\u2019s only one level, though. Or millions, depending on how you look at it. The level is randomly generated each time you fall to the water or lose your 3 lives. So, we could say that for each individual level, You Only Get One chance to beat it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re trying to save Zoe. Those dang shadelings are trying to chase you both down, so you better run!\nZoe has Only One life, though. So you have to be very careful. Since you\u2019re carrying her, she can\u2019t really avoid projectiles. It\u2019s on you to protect her.\nBut don\u2019t worry, this isn\u2019t a boring scort mission.\nZoe is actually useful! Even if she can\u2019t run, she has her trusty slingshot with which she will rock down some of the shadelings and their projectiles. So that\u2019s another reason to take care of her: She makes the game easier for you.<\/p>\n

Oh, and did I tell you? The games has two different endings<\/strong> depending on how you finish it. Good Luck and Have Fun!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can play Save Zoe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hey, what happened here?<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0I will polish the game further and re-release it in a couple of weeks, completely free.<\/em>\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, I\u2019ll blog a post-mortem soon , this was a really fun experience and I learned a lot from it! Can\u2019t wait to share my thoughts with You.\nEDIT<\/strong>: the post-mortem\u2019s been up for a couple of days now,\u00a0here it is<\/a>.\n<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for now, Thanks for reading!<\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2013 7:24 pm","title":"Save Zoe, my Ludum Dare entry!","title_was_empty":false}
