Flood Runner: A Game for Ludum Dare 50

The Theme

The theme for #LDJAM50 was "Delay The inevitable" so we chose to make the player Delay their death until help arrived.

The Game

Disaster has struck! A terrible flood has come upon the city. We’ve tried everything–pumps, buckets, giant sponges–but the waters continue to rise. The only thing left to do is flee to safety. Rescue choppers are in the area, but you’ll have to get to higher ground for them to find you. Navigate your way across the rooftops as you flee from the deadly deluge and attempt to hail the helicopter!

Controls:

Action	Keyboard/Mouse	Controller*
Movement	WASD or Arrow Keys	Right Stick
Camera	Mouse movement	--
Interaction	E	Circle (PS4) / B (Xbox)

* Controller support exists, but is more difficult, as camera control is not possible on a controller with the Jam version.  For those rating the game, please prefer Keyboard and Mouse.

Some Dev Notes:

All assets in the Jam version were made by either Cyberlight, NubbyNinja, YoungBlade, or OldManInACave. 

There were several intended elements of the game that did not make it in by the deadline. A post-jam version is planned to add our original:

• Game Music
• Foley Sound Effects
• An intro Cutscene
• Additional puzzles and content.

The VoDs:

The entire Ludum Dare 50 Development Experience was streamed on Twitch by both Cyberlightand NubbyNinja.  Cyberlight's stream also includes the perspectives of the other 2 developers, although this caused some microphone issues for the 3 of them.

Additionally, we are playing and rating YOUR LD 50 games live on Cyberlight's stream.  Submit your game and then join us in chat, or drop a follow. We highlight each game separately so you have our reactions for later viewing as well.
