SOLAR FLY TRAP

Solar Fly Trap is the tragic tale of Icarus, the Venus Fly Trap wants to grow to the sun, which he loves for its provision of light and warmth. Play as Icarus to climb through space and grow all the way to the sun, eating flies, aliens and cute little sun sprites while avoiding things that would rek you.

Unfortunately, I was unable to submit this game to the compo due to circumstances in the last 5 or so hours. However, I did do this for the compo originally, and so has all my own art, sfx and music, and was done within 48 hours.

This was my first real experience with Unity, and I learned a lot.

Only Win32 and WebGL builds are tested. The Web build is what I would recommend, lowest filesize and tested working.

Engine: Unity with C#
SFX: Bfxr
Music: abundant-music
"Art": Adobe Photoshop CC

Wonderful game :) I really enjoyed all the polish you put in there, like the little messages and the different zones. I was really excited to see what was at the end.

Nice little game. I died 3 times near the sun! I guess I will never see the end then... :)
Sounds are a bit annoying though.

Nice and simple game. Not quite innovative but fits the theme pretty well.

A nice simple game with good use of both themes. While the visuals vary (there are three distinct stages), the gameplay doesn't really have a lot of depth. I would really like to see multiple types of enemies.
