Exo-Stranded

You crash landed on an Exo-Planet. The Distress Beacon is working, but in a few days it will deplete the damaged Reactor Energy. Search the planet for Energy Cristals and kill the alien drones. Assistance will arrive in 5 days. Good Luck.

Controls:

A/D = Move Left/ Right W = Jump SpaceBar = Shoot (Each bullet consumes 1 Energy) Arrow Up/Down = Aim the gun J = use the Jetpack (Consumes Energy during time) L = turn on the light during Darkness (Consumes Enerfy during time) C = Refill the Backpack Energy consuming 1 Reactor Energy (In spaceship) V = Consume 5 Energy Cristals to generate 2 Reactor Energy (In Spaceship)

The Development:

The finale product doesn’t match my initial idea, but I’m quite satisfied with what I ended up with. I worked alone on this game only 19h, realising everything (except music, It’s a royalty free track and royalty free sounds from the internet). I merged different Pixel art styles, trying to realize a strange alchemy of different styles, hoping to exagerate the sense of alienation. In the first version of the game I had to cut down a lot of the map, in fact there are some tunnel structures and ravines cutted out. I also did realise some other enemies, but only the drones made it out in the final version. Maybe if I gather time I will also implement all the other stuff.

I sleept 14h in 3 days and worked 39h, but nothing stopped me from using every single moment free for this Ludum Dare entry! :D

I hope you’ll enjoy my game!

Thanks.
