Competition
Ludum Dare 26 Jam
(April 2013)
A minimalist game inspired by an old italian cartoon
The theme of Ludum Dare 26 in 2013 was “Minimalism”, so I took it to the extreme and created Line Knight.
The world and characters are depicted by a black single line on a white screen, based on the aesthetic of an old Italian cartoon called “La Linea”.
Line Knight is a typical action platformer where a knight has to save the princess, but the player can also switch the position of the character up and down the line.
Like “Pissin’ You Off”, this game was developed with HaxeFlixel. At the time I had acquired more experience with the library, therefore I could create a more complex game.
Line Knight was well received by the others contestants especially for it’s aesthetic and switching mechanic.
TRIVIA: The voices of the main characters were played by my girlfriend and me!
