Breathing Dark by shrapx

[raw]
made by shrapx for LD34 (JAM)
Search through the dark for the two buttons that unlock the portal to the next day.

Now that I have the game compiling in linux, I will pack it and offer the binary soon!

Movement: WASD or ARROW keys.

Light Handling:
Take: Z or Left-click.
Drop: X or Right-click.

Character Selection:

1 - Guy woke up in this dark room with nothing on him, Guy is an average guy.

2 - Blake has come looking for his friend, Guy. He is more prepared with 3 torches and is more fit than Guy.

3 - The Guard. He has plenty of torches.

4 - The Skeleton is very fast and clumsy, he has bones made of light, he cant take torches, only extinguish them. (this may not actually be true due to a bug.)

Let us know how many days you have chalked up, who can go the most days?

Any bugs? tell me!

I idle in the afternet #ludumdare, you can reach me there :D

Confused about what to do on level 2?

1: Pick up some lights.
2: Allow the wall to be covered in darkness.
3: Re-investigate that wall.

The game would be improved immensely from a tutorial and a less steep difficulty curve. I couldn't figure out the second puzzle whatsoever.

Worth playing for the sound effects and end screen music. I managed to reach day 38. You need to collect the red button and green gem to enter the next day through the door. Screen shot - http://i64.tinypic.com/29fqa6h.jpg - When you cannot see the walls for darkness they morph which can be useful.

Not quite sure what I was doing but the music is cool and the map changing when you pick up the lights is cool

Very unique game, great art style and sound. I could only get through 3 days, I liked it though!

I really liked this. The concept is strong and you execute it well. The music was good and the game is complex and simple at the same time. I'd love to see a tutorial like people said and to have a more fleshed out version of this. I really hope you do a post-jam version and keep working on it. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Nice job! There were a few collision glitches here and there but it didn't take away from the game that much. Very nice job!

Very good job! It's such a briliant idea, and the graphics and sound are great too. I love it!
Though I have to tell you something that may be a bug:
When you have +2 lights and you place and pick up the light just before it rans out, it'll be 100% but the following will consume a bit. However, if you have only 1 light and you place and pick up it it'll never die. I think that makes the game quite easy.

Fun to get lost in the dark. Needs some finishing touches. But fun to play with.

A good puzzle, a pixel in a pleasant style, quite atmospheric. Good job.

Great mood. I had some difficulty figuring out what I was doing, even after the instructions. Still, it was intriguing to explore. Nice!

The concept is quite a good one, and it's quite challenging too! :)

Loved the work on the graphics and audio, the mood you've set up is amazing! :)
