A scary platformer inspired by a traditional italian lullaby
Dark Night Lullaby is a platform game I made in collaboration with Laustar92 based on an old Italian lullaby that we modified for our purposes. The main character is Lei, a little girl afraid of the dark, who must find the strength to conquer her fears in a scary and difficult journey. The game is inspired by platform games like Mario, but the player can also obtain the power to control a ball of light with the ability to illuminate part of the game world.
It was made for the GBJAM3 (Game Boy Jam) in 2014. The rules were to use only 4 colors for the assets and make it feel as an original Game Boy game.
Dark Night Lullaby was ranked 97th out of 247 games in the competition.
TRIVIA: This game was based on real nightmares!
