Life of George by rockybdubs

[raw]
made by rockybdubs for LD35 (COMPO)
George is chicken.
She's free range.
She lives a rather monotonous life.
During the day she spends her time simply trying not to fall in random holes.

At night, though - she flies among the stars.

Controls:

Day:Up Arrow to Jump. *note: don't forget, chickens can't fly. They can however triple jump

Night:Arrows Keys to move around and collect stars to earn points.


*Hint - don't be too scared of the long lines of obstacles. It IS possible to land in between holes and quickly jump out to get through it.

- Love the art.
- Could have used some animations!
- Got stuck in an impossible situation with like 6 traps ahead of me.

But the ambience and gameplay is quite soothing.

The art is nice and the music is chill but the game-play seems to screw you with it generating too many holes for a triple jump. Also I don't see the 'shapeshift' theme in this.

I am convinced it must be possible to time a 4 hole jump and succeed but after many attempts I couldn't land it! I'll have to try again later. Really enjoyed the soothing music and love the artsy night mode graphics. Well done!

I like the art style. It gets difficult pretty quickly trying to jump between the holes when they're a lot of them strung together. Fun game, nicely done.

George shape shifts into a butterfly at night. It is very possible to land between holes and quickly jump to get past the long lines of obstacles.

The art and music were great. I think my only problem was it wasn't obvious where the hit boxes on George and the holes were.

I really enjoyed the graphics, they all had this awesome hand drawn style. Music was catchy, but would be nice if it was a little longer. I didn't get into too much gameplay because I could never figure out how to jump high enough.

Love the art style and music, but the game seems impossible to win.

The music was relaxing and a nice change from the scratchy sounds most LD games end up with. The graphics were also pretty. Unfortunately I couldn't get much further than three or four holes as I always ended up being faced with more than I could pass with a triple jump. I also never saw night, which I assume starts when you get past the holes, and didn't really see any hint of the theme. Could be fun with a bit more work on balance. Good job! :)

Same as mukult, got stuck on a six in a row of the molehill things. Like the music and the graphics.

Love the music and the artwork. Some sprite animation would have been great.

At night, the butterfly zips across the screen really quickly. I can't position it anywhere, it just zooms to the other side no matter how briefly I press the button. Is that a bug?

Nice relaxing game - until the long line of obstacles :)
