The Greater Good by watdowtal
A man loves his hat. It keeps him alive. This is an uber-short narrative-style platformer that I decided wouldn't fit the theme mechanically, but in the narrative.
IT MIGHT BE BEST IF YOU TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD OOPS :(*

Nice music, I like the dialog a lot and nice monochromatic pixelart. :)

The game was terribly small. Just as I was starting to enjoy it, it was over...

@najmm Yeah, it was mostly because of late starts each day (school, the event starting at 2am), so it was pretty short. I wish I had more time, because my original idea was actually pretty good.

Uber short indeed :rofl: But you still managed to tell a moving story, and to make a platformer where jumping works properly. Also the monochrome pixel art is honestly good. Congrats, and I hope you get more time for the next event!

Nice little game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/8tDu1hDasJ8

I laugh so hard xD The point of this game is you sacrifice your time, because you think there is something more, and then... nothing xD
