This is my first Ludum Dare. The theme is kinda weird though. I should spend a lot of time thinking.

By the way, are we allowed to use DOTween Unity for Compo?

First Ludum Dare ever <3 I made the game all by myself but still submitted for the Jam because I didn't have time to finish it for Compo (college is hard, exams are coming).

This is really cute, considering the fact that the last 2 games I made are horror games with crazy jumpscares.

The more boosts you have, the more difficult it will be for you to win.

But most importantly, LAVA LAMPS INCLUDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed some of your guys comments and realize that there was a problem with the HTML 5 and PC version of my game (it still worked well on my Unity). The jump button did not always work and I found out that it had to do with Unity GetKeyDown so I changed it to either GetKeyDown or GetKey instead. Now it works really well. Again, I would like to thank everyone who played my game and found this problem.

I also updated the link in the game description for NewGrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/703041?updated=1512537686

Follow Tinky the butterfly in a dreamlike world! In her world, rainbows are not what they seem to be, as they destroy good creatures, including butterflies. Help Tinky collect the magical lights to bring back the goodness in rainbows. Only in the mythical lava lamps can the magical lights be found!

Tinky can run, jump, and fly upwards. She can gain boosts that help her fly further or higher. But beware, not everything is good as it seems to be. The more boosts Tinky has, the worse it is for her to control herself.

There are 4 boosts in the game:

Green Orb: increase run speed Blue Orb: increase jump height Yellow Orb: increase fly speed and the height that Tinky can reach when flying Pink Orb: increase Tinky’s size, make her bigger Try to stay away from the boosts in your path!

There are currently 4 levels in this game. It will get more difficult in the 3rd and 4th levels, even though level 1 is not that easy at all.

Movements (if you are too lazy to read the instructions in the game):

Left Arrow, Right Arrow: move horizontally (can move while falling from the sky)

X: jump upwards (only vertically). Can hold Left Arrow or Right Arrow while jumping to move horizontally.

Z: fly upwards and also moves horizontally at the same time. Cannot jump or use Left Arrow nor Right Arrow to move while flying, but can use Left Arrow and Right Arrow while falling after flying.

Words from the developer: This is the first time I participated in Ludum Dare, also the first time I’ve ever completed a game in such a short amount of time. I did all of the work, but couldn’t submit it in time for compo, so I submitted it to the Jam instead. I would really love to see your comments. I used Unity, GIMP 2, Audacity to make this game. For the audio, I had to pitch my voice up really high, from a man’s voice to a fairy-ish creature. If you notice any bugs, feel free to comment, so I could improve my codes next time. Ludum Dare 40 is on the weekend before my final week of class as a freshman at college, so I was busy and could have bettered a lot of aspects of my game (i.e. make it easier).

Thank you for playing my game! Good luck on playing my game (it’s really hard). Tell me if you get to the first lava lamp (finish the first level).

Thank you guys for the really constructive comments on how to improve my game. I will definitely further develop my game, but probably after my college finals. (A boss level is coming :smiling_imp:)

You can now press R to replay the game (both in the game and in the game over scene). This is a new feature only in the HTML 5 version of itch.io, NOT in newgrounds. If you want to play the original version, you can play the HTML version in newgrounds.

There are only less than 3 days left for play+rate. I would really appreciate if you can check out my games and add some more votes. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/speed-journey

Thanks so much if you have played my game. Show me your game and I will play it.

I really love the theme of this Ludum Dare. It has so much potential.

Sadly, I'm really busy this week. I have 3 tests this week and next week is finals week. I'm really really sad. Hope everyone is doing well. Will definitely play your games after the semester is over.

Is anyone else in the same situation?
