Hello! I'm back with game no. 3! This game is for GBCompo 23 with the theme "You Are the Monster" in mind.

Even though we had 3 months to work on this, with a full time job and other real life obligations, collectively I probably used a month to work on this game. 

One of my favourite books growing up is The War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells, reading it scared me. That's how the idea of using aliens as the "monster" came about.

 I originally wanted to do a narrative visual novel game but I finally decided on making a platformer because it was something new to try.

The top inspiration for this game is Playdead's LIMBO as you probably can tell from my visual style. I also spent a lot of time planning levels and designing puzzle elements to include in the game.  This time I learned how to call scripts, utilized even more variables and almost always used the maximum number of actors I could in a scene. Also, thanks to discovering there are such things as GBStudio Plugins, I could make a platformer game with puzzles that I imagined.

Overall, I think participating in GBCompo23 was a great learning experience. The deadline gave me a goal to work towards to without abandoning the project halfway. Anyway, I hope you give my game a try and if you enjoyed it, please do leave me a rating and a comment. Thank you!
