Game Details!

“Better late than never,” said someone once.

Gamejam devs have to walk a fine line when rewarding players with content, particularly if they want their audience to say things like “didn’t see that coming”. With my entry, Ravenous, Ravenous Ravens, I opted not to explain one of the key features of the game (“Stopping the Light”), in order to reward the more skilled players with surprising spawns.

But in a jam like #IndiesVsGamers with several hundred entries, players often don’t have the time for a second playthrough. Combine this with the false impression of difficulty devs can get through rapid playtesting, and it can be a recipe for confusion, boredom, and unseen content.

Thus, I’ve added information about the Light/Reward system, which includes many of the game’s references to the “Arcade” genre (the jam’s theme). Spawnables include a ball-chomping Pac-Man character,
cameos from Asteroids and Pong, and more.

For the full list of rewards, check out the Game Description here.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
