Ludum Dare 56 completed

We did it. 

Our entry for the "Tiny Creatures"-themed 56th Ludum Dare is out.

Maratus In Love

The past 72 hours were brim filled with creativity, synergy, energy and most importantly, fun. Which doesn't end with "y", but then again, some things don't end the way one would want them to end. Such as the time of this jam running out, as more and more potential of our game idea revealed itself, when the timer made its final ticks.

But what am I even talking about.

Our initial brainstorming phase went from 'everything is possible' to 'well, actually 72 hours is kinda short'. In the end we decided on an idea, that sounded fun to control and also held lots of space for creativity, both in the game art and mechanics. Drag to jump :)

Short description of the game: 

Platformer with movement by jumping, jumping by dragging and aiming. Find your peacock spider mate :) Collect leafs along the way and use the bouncy behaviour of the environment.

But best you try it out by yourself :)

We're looking forward to hearing what you think about 'Maratus In Love'. 

Also, I would like to thank everyone involved in this game. I'm so proud of you :)
As stated above, the team dynamic quickly became filled with passion and drive. All the time, someone had the next awesome idea we would discuss and create, making this game the gem it has become. I'm so happy to be a part of this :)
