Traps, Stamina, Help Text, Camera + Standalone Game!


With the small update, I’ve added a few new features.

First of all, there is a dynamic camera which follows the player aswell as the mouse. It feels a little nicer.

Secondly, I added in a stamina system along with sprinting. You can use LSHIFT to sprint, and overtime your stamina will decrease. So far the only way to re-gain stamina is to eat oranges, though your stamina will increase over time naturally (soon). There will also be other ways to increase it.

The second trap (first one being water) is now in the game, which is an Animal Trap. You’re able to lure enemies into these and it’ll either kill them or deal some damage and make them slower. So far, there’s only one enemy, the Jek, which it kills straight away. It also kills you straight away if you happen to walk into it. When it’s killed an enemy, it’ll close- and you’re able to re-open it by using ‘E’. A little bit of blood is also added to the image.

I’ve also added some help-text that appears when you go near an object that needs explained for the first time. For example, go near the trap and it tells you it’s use. Go near a chest, and it tells you how to open it.

The next release will be a major update, and should have two levels finished. I plan on adding more goals into the gamle other than complete the game in the fastest amount of time. There will be awards for finishing it pacifist mode, which means you didn’t kill any enemies. Also, later on as the levels progress, you’ll need to find keys to enter your house, and other obstacles and invoncviences like that. I might even consider adding a story line to the game, with cutscenes etc but I’m not sure if that’d be good or not.

Why walk when you can jump?

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
