Sleepy Orphan Simulator
This little puzzle platformer is frustratingly fun and at times came give you the jitters in a weird unsettling way.
You play as a sleepy orphan but you control only parts of his body to move through the world. So legs walk and jump, arms grab things and head allows you to eat and look charming.
The controls at times can be super frustrating but I think that's part of the idea. Every bit of movement in the game makes your sleepy orphan slowly get more and more tired. You have to reach the end of the level before he falls asleep.
There's also adults you come across and earn extra points for trying to charm them, but again this uses more energy. You find yourself really trying though because it's meant to lead to him being successfully adopted.
The sound track and sound effects are probably my favourite aspect of the entire project, I like the terrible feeling it creates over the entire game. I'm sure most may find it disturbing to the point where it's really uncomfortable. But hey, that's the sort of jazz I like.
It's unique and kinda neat, I think the controls could have been polished a bit more but that's beside the point. For a Ludum Dare game, it's the kind of awesome work you always see emerge from it.
