A downloadable game for Windows
Our submission for Ludum Dare 56!
A falling-sand-desktop-pet-idle-game-hybrid powered by compute shaders :)
Enjoy time on your Windows PC alongside HUNDREDS...no, THOUSANDS...no, MILLIONS of tiny friends!
Watch them dance along the bottom of your monitor!
Let them go for a ride on top of your windows!
Everything is magical with the WORLD'S TINIEST DESKTOP PETS by your side!
In-game tutorial is included, but for reference:
- Mood increases near your cursor, while riding windows, and when eating food
- You can see an overview of happiness in the (i) info panel
- The happier your friends are, the more gold you get
- Buy more friends with gold using the + button
- Press the apple button to open the food folder
- Place actual image files (.PNG, .JPEG) of your choice in the food folder for your friends to eat
- (While the image files are deleted when eaten, a backup is present in the "eaten" folder next to the "food" folder)
- You can drag the UI using the ... bar at the top
- The settings menu contains a few bonus options
Ways to play:
Sadly, the Windows x64 executable is the only way to play this game, though source code is available if you'd like to view or compile for yourself: https://github.com/Caeden117/LudumDare56
Due to the nature of desktop pets, no web build is available. Cross-platform code was out of scope for a game jam. We really tried to make this work in Godot, which would have made Mac & Linux much more feasible, before giving up and switching to Unity :(
Tools used:
- Unity 6
- Paint.NET
- Photoshop
- Audacity
