A downloadable game for Windows

Just Breathe, the game I made for Ludum Dare 48

You are Boomy Lee and have been cursed with both invincibility and the ability to explode if you don't control your breathing, maybe half a curse half a blessing?

The theme for LD48 was "Deeper and Deeper" so this game is about rhythmically keeping your breath to prevent yourself from exploding. The aim is to go around the room and finish all the tasks without losing (which is if you damage too many objects in the room). The challenge is you have to keep both the rhythm of your breathe and the key presses. Didn't externally play test it so not 100% sure but I feel like it does add a bit of challenge.

If you look at the code and wonder "Why the hell did he program this like this?" It is because I was rushing and when there is rush there is no logic so stuff's just kinda haphazardly thrown together towards the end.

The controls are listed in game but I forgot to put in the key for running so:

- Hold Left Mouse button to breathe in

- Press E to interact with the task

- Hold down Left Shift to sprint

When you’re breathing in, you need to let go and release the breathe when the vignette turns red, I don’t think I made that clear enough in the game.

You also get a bit of a buffer on how long you can go without breathe if you take a DEEP (lmao) breathe

You have to hit the key when the bar turns green during the task, not sure if that was clearly made in the game?

If you're feelin' SPICY the source code can be found at my Github:
