Through the Woods by CosmicCatStudio

[raw]
made by CosmicCatStudio for LD26 (JAM)
Following the theme of minimalism, if you die before you reach grandmother's house, you will be sent to a simpler level; fewer wolves and a shorter distance to travel, but also fewer lives.

I worked on this solo. The game was made in Construct 2, sound effects (all two of them) made with SFXR, and all art was drawn either within Construct 2 or in Photoshop. Sadly, I ran out of time for music. This was my first time using Construct 2 to make a game, as such it's pretty short and simple (but it works!).

I really like this. The graphics work well with the sounds, and the mechanics are good too. Good work!

Visually, it's very good, the gameplay is nice too in its simplicity (or minimalism!). I like it!

When I got to the house nothing happened! I walked off the screen on the right and then disappeared. I could move left and right but couldn't see myself, or get hit by wolves.

The graphics are beautiful, and excellent concept, I love the way it gets easier until you can eventually win :-) Would have loved to hear some music and deeper SFX, shame you ran out of time - nice work though!

good job -- little hard to jump over wolves -- good use of theme
