PIXELTON: ONE OF US by epb9000

[raw]
made by epb9000 for LD 41 (JAM)

This would have better matched the theme if I had been able to draw a more pixel-arty protagonist, but such is life. (The plan was to combine two clashing art styles.) Next time, I won't be gone all Sunday. Not bad for 6 hours though.

You're just a wayward pixel trapped in an analog world, unfortunately, every denizen of that world wants you to be one of them and have that power by touching you. Damage over time mechanic means if you get touched, hurry on out!

And then things kept coming up so I haven't rated any games until... basically today. Oh well, I'll rate at least some even if we don't place. :P Can be hard to find time sometimes.

Sounds like an interesting game, sounds like next time you should look at the post jam part of ludum dare :) Also I'm mac only, sadly so I can't play this :(

@Jezzamon Sorry about that. I've added a Mac version. https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mi7864s/pixelton-mac.zip

Ok, I just played it! Cute little game! Probably the most obviously missing things mechanics wise is more player feedback in terms of when they get hit, and how far in the level they are. I'd also probably go with a lighter background instead of black so it didn't contrast with the drawings too harshly. Still, pretty good for such a short timeframe :)

Hmm, it's an interesting idea, you become a thing other than just a pixel when you're inside a trigger, i thought that you would become something different depending on what you're triggering the most, but it was all the same everytime :)

Anyway i still like the idea, i hope next time there will be music and sound effects, because they add so much to the game
