All Turd Beast by SamH
=== BEHOLD, MORTALS ===
A mighty beast goes on a journey to find its true self.
=== AS THE PROPHECY STATED, IN THE END EVERYTHING WILL BE REVEALED ===
About the game
- play using a gamepad, or the A/D/Space/J/K/L keys.
- I’m quite satisfied with the game mechanics, and may try to do a polished game out of it.
- animations aren’t very nice, most cycles would benefit from several extra frames
- my initial goal was to make a game that could be played by a casual player, and to allow for fast-paced runs, jumps, dashes etc. for those in need for more challenging mechanics
- no music or sound, sorry.
- if you find yourself asking “is this the end?”, yes, it’s the end.
Some technical notes
- written in C++ and OpenGL
- runs on Linux and Windows
- cross-compiled to JavaScript / WebGL without changing a line of code
I was asked to write #LDJAM here.

ps: this is the best end ever XD
Best ending btw...it got an honest belly laugh out of me.
thought i was stuck but then i found out how to elephant bash :p nice work!
A few sound effects would have been a great addition, especially for the ending :P Good work!
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
I liked the look and even the animations, though I'm not sure that I liked having my view restricted so much. The elephant in particular had some fun little touches. Not so sure about the mouse since it is effectively "press x to progress". the bird was an interesting idea, but I felt weird playing a bird that couldn't actually fly.
However jumps are managed, I found that I had to press the button a bit earlier than when I actually wanted to jump.
