After 48 hours we were really tired with the lack of sleep. At least we managed to create something according to the theme the organisers provided.
We created Maru (circle or round in Japanese), a very experimental interactive flash experience.
It is a game about life, death and self sacrifice. You’re alone in the dark trying to find your loved one…
Here is a video:
So our take on the theme was to make a game of self sacrifice. As you walk through the darkness you slowly die, but when you die your corpse leaves light which is safe for you to travel through when you re-incarnate. The earlier you die, the more light you leave behind.
The aim of the game is to strategically sacrifice yourself in order to explore, activate the hidden switches that release the gates that are blocking you from your love on the right on the map.
On completing the level we show you the number of moves you took so you can improve on it next time round.
