The place where the moon once was
A downloadable game
You wake in the cold, dark night to find your sibling has escaped through the window in chase of a stolen moon. Grabbing your lamp, you run out after them. Can you pick your way through a series of levels, avoiding the light while your own lamp grows ever dimmer?
This initial version of the Pulp-based stealth game, released for the Uncrank'd Winter Jam, features 8 7 levels and 2 power-ups.
A few tips:
- Your lamp light gets smaller, but won't run out by itself.
- If you fail, you'll restart on the same level with your lamp light restored to what it was.
(v1.1 is out now, with difficulties tweaked for a slightly easier experience - choose this one if you're after something slightly more casual)
This version has no save, but takes 10-15 minutes to play through. Failing will pop you back to the start of the level you're on. Controls use the D-pad and A and B buttons only - the crank is not used. The game should be fully playable in the simulator.
Future plans:
I'm aiming to extend this to a paid version, with at least one extra level, difficulty options, and a save system. Anyone paying at least 2 dollars now will get access to the paid version when it's ready.
Installation:
Simply download the zip file provided and sideload it on to your Playdate through the usual sideload methods. v1.0 is the original game jam version. v1.1 is a version with difficulty tweaked slightly to be a bit easier.

I really enjoyed this! Intuitive and engaging mechanics and a compelling narrative. The vision stuff is great for Pulp too. Performance isn't perfect but this is a jam game!
