Hello, this is Saf.

This is my first Ludum entry! I started my game saturday morning, and uploaded it on Sunday 5 am.

You can check out the game at The Dollhouse Curse

I might change the name later, if you guys have a better idea, please help me.. For now, its  The Dollhouse Curse!

I wasn’t sure i would be able to finish the game in 48 hours, but its done! Broadly, I spent the first quarter thinking about the game, second quarter coding the game, third quarter drawing and forth quarter doing all three, plus recording the audio! Oh yeah! the game features my voice 😀

Lamps and Torches to enhance visibility.

Going with the 10 seconds theme, I wanted to make a spooky and creepy game. So here i have a game where you are alone in the dark, with a torch so you can see nearby stuff and light lamps to further enhance your vision.  However, the lamps you light only last for 10 seconds!

The game tests your puzzle solving ability and your memory. You have to link identical looking dolls, which are hidden in the levels. You do this by touching a doll, and then touching the other doll of the same type.

However since the dungeon is pitch dark, its upto you to remember which doll you saw in which place and which type have you currently selected. If you selected doll is in dark, you cannot find what type  it is unless you go back to it.

The dolls are creepy, because dolls are always creepy. If you match a doll with a wrong type, the level restarts. There are a total of 10 different levels in the Ludum entry. You can see your currently selected dolls in top left, and the number of pairs to find in top right. Tell me your thoughts about the game, I really want to add more levels and mechanics to it and then make it public..

So finally the game is complete.. I am still doing occasional play-testing, but i think its safe to make this post now.

Pete is a professional petard. This means his job is to carry explosives and blow up the enemy base.
So when you play as Pete, you have to destroy all enemy supplies and troops, but you only get one chance as the loyal petard also blows up with his bomb!

For those of you who played Barrel Roll (Ultra!), thanks for your kind words and reviews. This game started of as a reverse DK, and I wanted to keep the vibe going as much as I could. I maintained the game in a way that players can get where the inspirations is coming from, and still be entertained. The game kind of becomes a Mario zombie carnival later and its great fun!

Some of you asked who the green head monkey thing is. Well he is an ape who leads of the Great Kong’s followers. The leader uses a Green mask, the pipe guy is Mr.Pink, Mr.Blue does the cleaning afterwards.

The initial plan was to have a progression based action game. You start alone. Then you get more monkeys to join the squad. They are supposed to add threat as the rolling barrels can harm you too, but can also be helpful because if you escape, they will most likely explode on a plumber. Then there was introduction to different barrel types, enemy types etc etc.

I spent two hours on this frame on Day 2 before abandoning it..

I am looking forward to seeing the ratings for this game. For the future, this game has given me some ideas for another game I always wanted to do. It is going to be a strategy game with some similarities to this one. Here is a sneak peek on how it is coming along. I will try to keep updating the game’s progress through Twitter.

The pigs cometh! Soon.

Thanks for reading, and keep Jamming! You can play the game here: Barrel Roll Ultra!
