Miss Red by Daniel Debert

[raw]
made by Daniel Debert for LD28 (COMPO)
In Miss Red you play as Miss Red(of course), you are secret agent hired by secret facility to steal intel out of others. They didn't tell you and you shouldn't ask about what it is for. It's your job so make it done.

They gave you XTZ-2 which slows time a bit and makes you invisible. But the battery is heavy so "You only get one" per mission.

There are 6 short missions and one which was made as tutorial.

Controls:
- Use Arrow keys or WASD to move.
- Button down activates XTZ-2.

I couldn't make the applet working. So sorry for no Web version. I'll try to make it during voting.

This game uses OpenGL 2.0. If your graphics card does not support it then weird things can happen.

Smoke is not a bug. It was to simulate stress of the character, and actually it works in dark places. It is hard to see sometimes. And it is meant to be hard!


SOUND AND MUSIC: This game doesn't have any sounds and music, that's because i couldn't make them good enough. And i didn't wanted to break the rules by adding them from sites like www.freesounds.org.

Indeed nice lighting! I liked the cloaking. I found the tunnels a tad too dark though, but that's me. +1 for the tutorial.

Very nice game but the sounds are missing :/

I don't see how being invisible would help. If I become invisible I can't walk and the drones just move to where I was last seen. I like the smoke and light effects. Fun idea.

Nice idea with the lights. It feels like the theme was surrendered to that a little bit. Graphics are nice, but I find character too inconsistent with environment (low on time?). Fix that, add some dark quiet audio and it will be perfect ;-)

Lights of course. Physics too. The character does not match really well with the environment but that's ok :)

Is there no sound or am I just missing something?

Solid! Very difficult, though. Loved the lighting system, really added atmosphere.

Graphics are very pretty - lovely shadows and smoke effects. Unfortunately, main mechanic (cloaking) doesn't work in practice and most levels are uncompletable. Solid idea for further development though!

Love the lighting and the overall simplistic look of the environment.

I loved the graphics, the 2d red lights gave a really nice aspect for the game.
the gameplay idea is something nice to explore too. I would say that you should go deeper with it. One thing that I didn't like it's that the game gets hard because it's too dark and you can't really see the way you're suppose to get.

Light was good but levels were a bit too long for me :o

It looks great, but what's about the theme...
I think it's nice, but I miss the special. :|

This games mood/enviroment is truly awsome. But the character doesnt really fit in at all and this doesnt have anything to do with the theme.

I like the lighting effects. The gameplay in the darkness is tough though. Maybe a short range flashlight would make it easier but not detract from being in the darkness.

Nice little game but if I click twice on button, it's crash. I restarted the game to try it again without clicking twice on button and it's work well. Good light effect.

Interesting game. The health bar is a little bit too distracting in this position, maybe put it completely at the top or bottom? But overall, I liked playing it.

I don't get some people...

("[..]the battery is heavy so "You only get one" per mission." )

It's battery to XTZ-2. And isn't this a theme? You only have one per mission.

Lighting is awesome, audio is nonexistant, and the jumping is a bit wonky.
But the game looks great and is pretty fun.

Nice lighting!
Some atmospheric music/sfx would've been nice though.

Really liked the lighting system, dynamic shadows and smoke -- do you do the lighting by additively rendering the lightmaps onto a frame buffer and multiplying it with the scene? Or is it all done in a fragment shader? Gameplay was quite fun as well, but lacked a bit in diversity; I was still tricked into playing all the levels though :)
