Fast

An event created a new species of plant who covered 99% of the planet, suffocating most food source, leaving the humans weak and vulnerable. This changed environment lead to the spread of unknown man-eating creatures nicknamed "shades". Their gluttony led to the human extinction and, ironically, their own.

You play as one of the 2 last humans alive, running and jumping around in this hostile world looking for food and building a relationship with your friend.

*Le jeu est complètement jouable en français. La langue peut être changé dans le menu d'options.

This game was made in 7 days for the Xanderjam6 with the theme: "Survival of the fittest" and ranked 4th.

1st place in "SFX/Music", mostly thanks to the music made by Steven Melin

I had the honor of being the "judge pick" for both the judges of the jam :D

I made a devlog talking about how I came up with the idea and the story of the game and how it was made:

The game can be played on keyboard or game controller.

Post jam fixes 1.01:

- feature to stick on the edge of ledges during the jump anticipation, to avoid the frustration of pressing the jump and falling before the jump would actually trigger and die.
- Added a lot of checkpoints to make the game easier and to avoid looking at the same cutscene twice.
- Reworked the tutorial.
- keep sprint state and movement input in the sprint jump anticipation to avoid awkward "half jumps" if the player would release the sprint or the movement input during the anticipation animation.
- Moved the input hint under the switches instead of over them, so they are more visible and wont get hidden by speech bubbles.
- Slightly reworked the first fruit gathering level
- Added an animation on fruit plants when the fruit is picked up.
- Added a neutral jump fall animation
- Added a transition screen on respawn
- Considerably reduced the game size.
- Added a button in the pause menu to go back to the main menu
- Stop chatting on death

1.02
- Allow to ledge grab backward in a neutral jump

1.03
- Language option: fully playable in English and French
