Quite the adventure! Can't wait till the next event!
This is the first Ludum Dare I participated in with one of my friends, Tom. It was an intense weekend of creating something we both feel quite proud of. Initially, out of the final voting round, the theme was the only one we couldn't really come up with a pre-game plan for, and even when it was announced, we still had no idea what to do. But some brainstorming soon led to this cool idea of Forest Guardians!
The game aims to guide Luminates around a dark forest, finding critters and guiding them safely to the ancient runes. They're only attracted to the light and will follow you when they are nearby. But there are also snakes lurking about, who are also attracted to the light and quite eager to attack critters following you!
This was our first Ludum Dare and certainly not our last!
Check it out here!
The game is best played on a desktop browser.
