Pirate Software Game Jam 15

How to play:

You are an alien species and you have just landed on this planet (The script below gives more context).  You hear a sound coming from the garage of a nearby gas station and move in to investigate.  Avoid staying in the light too long or you will die.  Fill up your shadow by draining it from people and objects in the world to survive.

Controls:

WASD or Arrow keys for movement

Space to consume shadow

E to place a block of shadow

F to shoot a beam of shadow

The following is from an opening cutscene that has yet to be added to the game.  Here is the dialog for use as context in this demo:

EXT. DARKNESS - DAY

Light humming sound of a space ship soaring the endless

space. A computer whizzes. A distress call is heard.

COMPUTER

*Distress signal from Planet-2854*

A squishy tap of controls. The ship begins to move faster. An

alarm begins to sound.

COMPUTER (CONT'D)

*WARNING: LIGHT RADIATION INDICATES

LETHAL*

SHADOW

"Whoever it is. I hope they're

worth it"

Alarm ends with a squishy tap. A slow descent into the

atmosphere. An air like landing. Soft brushing of grass being

blown by the SHADOW.

SHADOW (CONT'D)

"Stay away from the light. I'm

coming for you friend."

The game begins.

Fade In.
