Izel's Observatory (Patreon)

This is my entry for the 2018 Indie Game Making Contest.

This is a game that I've put together over the past month (actually, it was a little less than a month, because the first  5 days of the contest I was finishing up Omega Modern-- and on top of that, I spent a week in the middle of the month sick with a bad cold that cut my productivity in half). It's been a really rough and busy November, but I'm proud of this game that I managed to put together. 

I'm excited to share it with you today.

You are Izel, and your passion is studying the stars. But your discoveries threaten the power of the high priests. They destroy your research and sentence you to execution.

Escape from jail and take up your spear -- fight your way through underwater caverns, coral reefs, a nest of electric eels, a sunken ship and more. Collect upgrades and abilities to open new paths and find your way home.

• Game can be played with a gamepad, keyboard, or keyboard and mouse.
• This is a prototype version made in one month for the IGMC 2018.
• Design, art, and programming by Jason Perry. Original music by Jake Milner.

You can download the game here:

• Izel's Observatory on itch.io

There's a lot of room to expand on this. As you can imagine with the one-month deadline-- I had to cut out most of my ideas and strip this to a bare-bones experience. This is a project that I plan to revisit in the future. But for now-- I may be exhausted, but it was worth it!

Thanks for playing.

Anyways-- 

-- so this is why I've been slow with the updates this past week. I'll be back tomorrow with the end-of-month review thread, and then after that we'll be back on track for your regularly-scheduled releases.

I have a lot planned for December, and I owe you some good stuff-- so stay tuned!

Thanks!
