Keep the Unicorn Alive! by ShanePatSmith

[raw]
made by ShanePatSmith for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

CONTROLS: Click to move

You're a small creature in a large world, and you've made a friend in magical places- a unicorn! You two make a great team, always having each other's backs. Unfortunately, there's a lot out there to be on guard for. From poachers looking to make a buck selling unicorn horns to foxes looking to nibble on you, you have to frantically move to keep your unicorn buddy alive while they graze.

The hunters will plant traps, and you have to keep the unicorn from walking into them by disarming them. The fox will occasionally try to hunt you down. If he catches you, run to the unicorn to scare him off!

Keep the unicorn (or unicorns) alive for as long as you can!ScreenShot.png

Really cute game, simple gameplay but it works nicely! My unicorn ate 11 grass :) Good job!

I think It needs a tutorial and the fox needs to be more of a threat. Franticly going from place to place is fun though and it has a lot of replayability.

Very smooth controls with addicting gameplay. I can see myself returning to this one. The music and sound also fit very well with the overall feel of the game. I agree with others that the fox might do better with being more of a threat. Excellent work.

Hahaha, this game is so silly. I didn't read the instructions and I thought that I was the bonkers poacher guy for a hot second. :face_palm: My poor unicorn!!

Haha smart way to make walking animation and funny too :) Maybe some upgrades would have been nice, so you become quicker or something.
