Scribble Death by chrupp

[raw]
made by chrupp for LD30 (JAM)
Scribble Death is a puzzle game where death is the gate to another (slighty different) world. But those worlds are connected! Your actions can affect not only your current surroundings but also objects in the after life!

Use arrow keys or WSAD to move, SPACE to interact, R to restart.

Made with Phaser and bfxr. Our music guy is sick so we don't have any. Sorry.

Love the sketched drawing aesthetic, reminds me of dropbox somehow.

The sound is REALLY loud. But the graphics are cute and it is FUN. A little wonky to move around but over all awesome job!

Love it! The puzzle aspect of the worlds was really creative. The art style is pretty amazing, too.

Really nice premise and graphics. I enjoyed the puzzles. I think the controls could use a bit of polish. Also, I played a game recently that let the player undo step by step. This could help the frustration of having to restart when farther in a level.

Very original game but I can't find a solution of the nord-east part of the map..(the third death more or less)

awfully confusing, but still pretty cool.
The visuals are definitely the strong suit, here.

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I seemed to get stuck on the spike in the upper-right corner - I kept dying and was unable to move out of the way of the spike as I came back to life.

Love the graphics, really interesting concept that took some thinking about. I liked the way the sections built on each other though I did find it a little confusing. Oddly emotional!

I like the sketch graphics and the idea that you must die to proceed. Definitly something else! Well done!

I really like that game. Can you please make some easier introduction levels?

It is awesome but need one death back instead of full level restart.

Thanks for the feedback! We are working on a post-compo version with better introduction and better reset mechanics. We made the levels in the final hours so we hand not enough time to make them as fun as we wanted.

It took me a lot of trial and error to really understand what to do. A couple of beginning gradually-more-difficult levels to start the game would really help. The controls were a little clunky, especially when trying to open doors.

The game already has a fun mechanic, and a fun art style. With some refinement and slower difficulty curve, it would add up to a very nice game.

Great art style, great level design, lots of fun. Really great job overall, although I did feel like I had to start levels over a little too frequently.

Niiiceee. Great drawing style and game mechanics. Would like not to have to restart from the beginning each time I press R, but from the last movement I made. Good job!

That's really original. Good puzzles and style. It would be great to see a longer game with more of a story. The controls seem to lag a little. Also it says I got 13 out of 4 diamonds :D.
