I am so Bored!

Hi All,

I created this game for Ludem Dare 46 which was from 9pm on April 17,2020 to 9pm April 20.  The theme was "Keep it alive".  I took the approach of "Keep your spirit alive".  In the game, an internal monologue about boredom is played while a monster jumps over pits and destroys objects of tedium.   Press the SPACEBAR to shoot and the UP ARROW key to jump!  

During this crisis of the Covid-19 Pandemic,  a lot of people experience restlessness and boredom because they are stuck inside.  I wanted to make a game that explored the meaning of boredom.   Sometimes the words "I'm bored" mean "I'm scared",  "I'm Lonely",  or "I'm angry".  I realize my writing could use some improvement and I'm not sure if I really got my idea across in the game.  I hope to practice writing more in my game making process! I also feel lucky to be bored in such a turbulent time.  Please stay home and stay safe!

I created the art from fabric scraps and auto desk sketchbook.   For the 8bit music I used Beep-box(composed within the last 20 mins of the game jam!).  The sound effects are from the YouTube music library and I used Logic Pro to put everything together.  Construct 3 is the game engine 

Thanks for Playing!
