Follow the light! Lead us up! I'm getting old! A gray fly is an old fly. This is some good manure! It smells great in here! I love to fly. I guess I'm going that way. I'm lost. I dig the fumes. It's like an aromatic sauna in here. I love my neighborhood. It's a poop party! I love random directions. Time FLIES by. I'm pretty fly for a ... Menure is looking good today. Breathe in! This is better than a toilet. Let's hope nobody flushes... We are suposed to dig UPWARDS. Juicy goodness all around us. I prefer the 'bull' kind. This is mixed. What a giant pile of goodness!! I definitely feel in my element. It's nice, but we need to exit upwards. Once we get out, I'm going to become an astronaut! Once we leave, I will find a new pile of crap! Sometimes you have to go down to go up. Deeper and deeper! Brown is my favorite color. Are you digging this? Get the joke? You are digging in poop...
1 - the goal is to lead the flies up, out of the Epic Maze Of Poo 2 - click or drag or tap to attract flies with you feromones 3 - get white eggs to hatch more flies 4 - eating poo gives you power
Go deeper into the underground, procedural generation which creates more and more poop to buy power ups Fly: show age as alpha Sample Enemies:
- red sqares (eat flies)
- orange squares (slow down flies)
- yellow squares (make flies ignore influence) Simple powerups:
- increase area of influence
- buy more flies (health)
- flies live longer
- buy more sucking power/digesting fluids Use only squares at first!! Make it PIXELATED Just change color procedurally When you get to the end, you become the Lord Of The Flies
A single fly should be able to save the day With pickup!! breaking rock gives you poop or flies eggs or even directy flies!!!
show p-energy (poop) when picking up something, a pop up popsup saying a stupid joke such as "p-energy: p stands for poop!!!"
Make a monster blob with shitty crown, saying "this could be you! Sire!!!"
Beginning with two evil super pixelated white eyes over black background talking to you Xfiles music lower pitch voice "Attention! This is not a Ludum Dare Game! This is a real cypher message We took control of your computer we control a big group of... flies flies are actually nano-drones created by us Zeti Reticulans. You humans call us aliens.
HA HA HA HA HA HA uuu mmm hheheh hihih. We ask YOU to pilot our nano-drones, the "flies", through this computer simulation. You need to lead us DEEPER and DEEPER (wink wink, shout-out to LD48) and DEEPER ... 10 times DEEPER to the CENTER of the EARTH. We have been battling an unkown monster deep into the Earth. The Groclocloclotrl! (Be careful, it's pronounced gro-oh-ca-le-ca-lo-ca-rtk-wbnxzktr-ou-ou-ua-ua-ua-uuuuu-t-arrrrrr-l.) Defeat him and we will crown you Lord Of The Flies AAH AH AH AH AH.
PLOT TWIST: what if you are actually in a huge pile of shit and you are trying to get out? The flies spirit, a huge larva can talk to you and tell you you are the spirit of escrement
You
Are
"The Spirit"+
"Of Escrement"+
"Only you"+
"the great hero of dirt"+
"can guide the flies"+
"out of the Mythical Mountain of Manure"+
"in which they are trapped"+\
Maybe destroy tiles with flies?
Would be nice to have kinda like a base that grows. Probably too complicated. But it could be a simple aggregate to symbolize you, the lord. Could be always present in the canvas, along with a meter "flies horde" Another bar could show your poop meter. When it reaches a certain treshold you can buy more flies or more power or digesting fluid.
Need to prioritize everything once done.
Music: Lord of The Flies with the vocoder
Spoiler alert: aliens take of mask at the end and they look furry and talk like Alvin Chipmunk
