Mini LD 21 Entry: summit

I have a huge fear of heights. As mundane as that is, it carries over into my gaming- if I run a character too close to an edge, especially in 3D, my stomach drops. My goal was to recreate that feeling for everybody else, as best as I could.

I got my inspiration from a BBC Planet Earth episode, where I saw a mountain goat living its normal life on the sheer cliff of a mountain, and I thought about how frightening that would be for me.

I actually made the game last weekend, but I took some time to have a friend who had shown some interest at my last LD to write some music for me.

This was my second flixel game, so I was able to progress faster and spend more time on more interesting stuff, like gameplay and art.

Enjoy!

    Cool game!

    I really think you nailed the fear of falling down before you get to a place you can rest/regain some stamina which at least I get when climbing :)

  2. Fantastic looking – great work! Sure is tough. Took me 15 tries to get by the second jump in the game… yikes! Keep up the great work. This is really well done.

    really like this. When you reach a goat though it should do something.
