Retention Ink by blayms

[raw]
made by blayms for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

This game is about pen and a bug, you play as bug, trying to avoid the ink from pen. Pen appears every 10 seconds and draws a new line. Do not touch the ink, it damages you. Pens can clone over a certain amount of time, thoughout the game time.

Everything is happening at the single sheet of paper. Try also collecting power-ups, such as health boosts, jump and speed boosts. General idea is that you need to stay alive as long as you can, try getting the highest score possible

There's also a timed mode, where you have 10 seconds to collect bread crumbs as more as you able to...

this is why I like game jams, people come up with all sort of creative ideas lol. really love this game, the art style is unusual and nice and the gameplay is really funky :smile:. I also like how you move with the mouse instead of the keyboard. well done!

Simple but fun game ! I think I never saw a game like this controlled with the mouse, it works surprisingly well !
I think the pen are a bit bugged, they never managed to touch me even when I tried to get killed on purpose. But that's not a big deal, I found it fun to wander around and eat everything I could.
The second mode is even more fun, the speed makes it just hard enough to control to give challenge without being frustrating. Well done !

I really like how the menu looks like
the 10 seconds mode is way too fast i don't understand anything, the normal mode is more complex but more satisfying, kind of hard to differenciate the differents objects on the floor but for a project you made alone that's really not bad

The work in general is cool! The idea of having two modes is nice. I did not suffer any damage when passing through the ink strokes, the cursor (pen) is blinking on all screens making it difficult to click the buttons, I also found that there are too many confirmation screens to exit the game! I played the linux version.

An interesting game. Quite a unique concept, and two different gameplay modes, both of which fit the jam's theme, but in different ways. The graphics were good, but felt a bit flat, especially with the 3D pen. Also difficult to judge where I was going to land with the boost. But quite fun, good work!
