Infinite Vertices by CoderCameron
#LDJAM This is a short, minimalist platformer where you play as a shape, who needs to find his lover. Unfortunately every jump he makes he looses a vertex, thus once he is a triangle he cannot jump, or else he will cease to exist.
Some information for you note. This game was made in 48 hours (More like 18 hours) In C++. With a game engine that I made, and have never tested. Expect bugs and crashes. But at least maybe an interesting story. (Though I doubt it, because I think this is one of the worst game I have ever made).
Enjoy :(

Strangely enough, these simple graphics and narrative put on a very nicely melancholic mood to it and that's what I like the most about it (weird).
Nice entry, thanks.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
The aesthetics are very neat and suit the theme perfectly. Nice entry!
Eh, that aside, the game has rather interesting concept, and fits rather well with the theme of sacrifice and such, but I'd have really preferred, if, you know, I could actually reach the end with the rest of my strength. As it is now, it's all too futile, and I don't really like futility... that's just too bad. Especially since the soundtrack was pretty cool, too, and the rest of the game was solid, it's the needlessly depressing ending that spoils the thing for me.
The automatically changing text is a really nice touch, bonus points :)
I had this game on my waiting list but never got around to it. Phew, didn't expect to do a review with 3 minutes left :P
