LudumData

Light-Fingered by QuadApe

[raw]
made by QuadApe for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

An agile thief entered a run-down cathedral to loot the place. But this time they have to pay the price.

Loot the place! Find 4 levers to open the main door and escape. Be aware, the curse is following your step, always just behind you. You can't hide from it, you can't outrun it, all you can do is delay your demise. Or maybe there is something you could do?

Be careful about your inventory weight. Each item makes your stamina regeneration slower. The curse is getting more and more vicious as you continue to stay inside.

  • WASD - Run
  • Spacebar - Jump
  • Ctrl / Shift - Slide
  • E - interact/pick up
  • Scroll Mouse Wheel - select items in your inventory
  • LMB - Use selected item (only works with potions)
  • RMB - Drop selected item

  • I - invert y-axis mouse control

    • Crouch while running and you'll slide
    • Jump while sliding and you'll preform a fast slide jump
    • Jump near a wall on your left or right to perform a quick wall-jump, gaining more height and speed

Hi people, I played it :D
I must say it's impressive that a 3D game with these many controls works perfectly fine. Great environment and level design. The only things that comes to my mind is that I think this game does not deliver the theme correctly. Maybe if you grow the curse stronger, bigger, something like that over time, and finding each lever delays it and buys you some time, it better fits with the theme.

You did an excellent job on the atmosphere and look of the game : it looks really good, especially with the lights, the sound design is great and the ambient music perfectly fits the game.

The controls feel great, but I found the levels unclear and too difficult, maybe adjusting the size of some platforms and giving the player a clearer way to go would be nice.
Overall, nice game !

I love the game and graphics ! The work is impressive, bravo ! I was just a little destabilized by the speed of the camera at first, and I didn't know where to go obviously

Excellent controls and graphics. I can not really compare this game with the theme, but it is played interestingly.

I really liked the graphics but the controls felt slippery to me, I did not manage to land any jump on small platforms. Wall run was a bit finnicky too. It is one of the most impressive entry I saw though, respect.

"A great first person platformer" is not a sentence we hear everyday! And this is a game jam game? DARK MAGIC! The controllers is obviously fantastic, but I wish I could turn off the smoke monster, relax and jump around. Great job guys, congrats!

![score2.png](///raw/e0a/z/4d29a.png) Great level to roam around in! I could not figure out how to get all the way up in the cathedral room but nice spaces overall. Constant movement forced by the blue/red fog ghosts made it much better than a simple find all the levers game. Mouse sensitivity is a was a bit high but that is minor. I had fun.

really atmospheric sounds and visuals, great level design, and i love the use of the players path for the curse movement! bonus points for an invert mouse mode too!

@ciderpunk Thank you! The team made fun of me when an invert mouse option was basically the first feature I've implemented. :D (I can't play without it)

@antonsem Well, if you don't visit the wings and go straight to the cathedral and never loot anything, you can kinda explore it safely at your own pace, maybe try that! The main hall is the place with the most amount of tricky jumps anyway.

Great entry! I managed to find three levers but couldnt find #3. This game looks great and has a cool concept, i wish sounds weren't so staticy tho :P

Graphic is great! very smooth moving and jumping. But the doors are always opened from the other side, which sometimes stucks me between the door and the wall...

This was really fun! The movement felt pretty slick and it was fun to parkour around, only thing was the wall jump not wanting to work sometimes. The atmosphere was really great, I like how it's a "scary" game but your character is extremely agile instead of being helpless and having to hide all the time.

You guys played Amnesia, right? This feels exactly like that; terrifying. I couldn't finish it. Found 3 levers and then there was red shit coming after me and I panic Alt f4'd.

This is one of my highest rated games of the jam by far! I hate it! 🤣

Such an eerie game, with the audio effects and the fear of succumbing to the curse. I loved the gameplay, and trying to find the escape and treasures along the way. Controls were a little slippery, and hard to make jumps up to places. Overall, I really liked this game!

Very well done!

managed to find all four levels, but only about 85 points of treasure. The main hall with all of the platforming.. I had no luck trying to get up there, especially with the stress of the smoke monsters chasing me!

Solid entry!

Great job. Such a large area with such detailed graphics is impressive. I managed to exit the place but not to loot a lot of stuff. I would have played more if the FPS controls didn't make me sick.

I like this game, I think it' atmospheric and beautiful! I haven't get all the treasures, but maybe I'll come back for them. Thank you for the game!

I felt the controls were a tad bit floaty for my taste, but other than that a great entry! Very polished with lots to explore.

This is a cool game, I always like a first person platformer! It's really interesting the way the curse clouds create a kind of snake-like tail - punishing you for dawdling and doubling back. I definitely had a lot of moments though were I was just trying to figure out where to go and kept getting nipped by the curse.
