Ludum Dare 48 April 24–27, 2021

Defiled Reflection - Artistic choices

In Defiled Reflection, you play a little girl and her reflection in the mirror. One side is real, the other is inhabited by your worst nightmares. To represent this we chose two contrasting colours : yellow and purple.

The golden yellow of the left side represents a rich (oppressingly so) manor, while the purple on the left stands for the ominous land of the dead. There are obstacles on both sides, but they are completely different in nature and effect.

Go down the stairs to face many horrors, deeper and deeper, in Defiled Reflection : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/defiled-reflection

I will *play through your game* (on YT) if you play through mine!

Does your game have an ending? Can I make it?

Our game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/i-opened-the-door-and-there-was-a-fish has an ending and you can make it in less than 5 minutes ideally! The result screen looks like this:

I will play through your game on YT if you are able to make it through ours!

Tips / known issues

  • Use Flares (F) to light up dark areas and remove leaches
  • Use Scanner (E) to hint directions to next objective
  • Use Harpoon (LMB) to kill fishes (can you be heartless?) and get additional O2.
  • Shortcuts will OPEN UP doors in the main-hub accessible on your next dive. Press F (for flare) on your next dive to locate them if you can not see them.
  • our game looks scary but it isn't ( I hope )
  • Stars are only for fame.

"Okay, what do I have to do?"

  • play through our game
  • post your result screen / snip and reply to this thread
  • add a link to your game
  • add the expected time to complete

I have a YT channel and will post the video with the playthrough to help you find bugs/issues. I will probably create a new blogpost here as well!

I'm doing promotion, but it's not my game.

So, I'm gonna do a promotional post, but not for my game. You all HAVE TO play this game, it only got 14 ratings so far but this guy deserves a lot more, this game is just mind blowing and so nicely done.

Will you manage to escape your employees ?

An office boss forgot to put coffee back into the coffee machine. Impossible for its furious employees to work in these conditions. There is only one solution for the boss: to run away.

Promise the next time we will not forget the coffee.

GF's Dwarf's Looks

I got my girlfriend to play our submission.

In our game, Mine the Beat, you can customize your character to some degree, change the beard, hair or helmet and change the colour of everything!

This is what her dwarf looked like. Let me know what your dwarf looks like in the comments! I will play the games of everyone who has beat her score! (although I will likely play everyone's games) gf.png https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/mine-the-beat

Beat the Highscore

Somebody was pretty passionate about our game and reserved the upper four seats of the leaderboard for himself. Now the board could use a bit more diversity... Screenshot 2021-04-30 104811.png

Are you up for the challenge to knock him off the throne?

Rating for a Rating!

Hey! If you play my game, rate it and comment, I'll do the same to yours! :)

My game is a spooky game where you go deeper and deeper into your nightmares, trying to escape!

I just had such a moment.

There was this guy streaming LD games, but he had no viewers. I join and he's playing random LD games, he's got an empty queue and is talking out into the void. So I submit my game and he plays it for a while, seems to like it too. We chat for a bit and he starts playing one of my other games. I had a great time!

So I guess the PSA here is check out and support smaller streamers too! The small guys are just as much fun, you don't wait through long queues to submit your game and you can just chat for a bit! You can find other LD streamers here

Anywho shout out to @yellowkamel and their game Lambda!

The Icarus - But why Icarus?

Explore the depths of a deep ice cave system and discover the fate of "The Icarus".

IcarusGif2.gif

The "Daedalus" sets out to find the "Icarus", a submarine lost in an unexplored cave system under Greenland. But wait, why is it Icarus and Daedalus? Icarus and Daedalus are inspired by the greek myth in with Daedalus creates wings for himself and his son to soar through the air, but Icarus gets too cocky, flies to close to the sun, falls down into the ocean and drowns.

IcarusPaintingWithFrame.png

In "The Icarus" it is just the other way around and the submarine "Icarus" dives too deep, instead of flying too high. And instead of drowning, it is destroyed by getting too much air? Well, the comparison might just go so far. And now the Father embarks into the icey depths to find his son, * with its submarines vision restricted to only what the sonar can make out. *

If you are intrigued, you can play "The Icarus" here. Available for Windows and Web.
