Ludum Dare 51

I'm blown away by all the kind words people have left for Life Passes You By

I've been so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love people have for the experience. The jam scene is pretty new to me and I knew that if even one person enjoyed what I made it would be worth it. The kind of reception the game have received so far exceeds my expectations. Thank you to everyone who took the time to play the game, and I hope your take away from it is a positive one.

Feedback is important, so I added some

Having been fortunate enough to see people play my game first hand through either streams or watching over a friend's shoulder (if you haven't seen someone play your game, you must. It's magical), a common frustration/confusion seems to be around button clicks not being recorded.

They always were being recorded and this is evidenced by showing the player's choices at the end of the game, however by adding a little sound effect and adjusting the colour when a button is clicked it should leave players free to focus on what is happening before their eyes and not wondering if the game is broken.

I also decided to add a clock ticking sound effect for every opportunities that begin to fade. You haven't entirely missed them yet, but you have to act soon or that door will soon close.

Lastly, I changed the static in the first screen to be something a bit more soothing, to match the tone of the rest of the game

If you've played the game and it spoke to you the way it did to me and to many others, please share it with a friend or loved one so they can also enjoy the experience

I made an art experience rather than a game, please try it!

If you're curious at all, please check out the comments are leaving on the game's page. Hopefully that can inspire you to give it a shot.

I don't even care that much about getting ratings, I just want people to enjoy the experience.

It only takes 5 minutes and can be played in the browser
