Like the artwork, like the plot, but hate the name..
I thought it'd make the player know what they're in for, for sure.
Your plot is, very shortly: Save your mother but that is also your game's name...
You said something about Elohim Cube, right? Well, why not use that as the name?
It gives your game the mysterious touch it needs though it still reveals something from your game.
Legend of Elohim Cube would make for a fun title I am sure, but it'd not be as specific nor would it be as easy to recognize.
I have a plot, a cast, some features and a couple of screenshots.
But what I would still like to have is character information and a bit of background information like e.g. the legend about the cube.
There's no legend aside the one in the start of the game which is pretty much all the background story you'll ever get, unless you've played my other games and then you know the story behind the universe and stuff like that. I didn't put any of that into here, even though I contemplated on doing that. This was done for a contest. The focus and main aspect is all about gameplay and puzzle solving, this is a game that is about playing, not reading. It also required the game not to be overly long, so I had to leave out giant long memorial halls that would tell backstory.
And yes, one of the requirements was the game to have a simple plot "to get ball rolling."
Also, don't use the custom windowskin as it ruins the great titlescreen you made.
Custom windowskin? I have no idea what you're talking about.
And don't use Customs WITH the RTP unless they match quality. As in screenshot 3 your custom character looks better than the RTP one...
Personally, everything blends just fine. Not seamlessly but that was hardly the point.
I didn't have the time to do too much polish, I had only one month (actually a bit less than that) and I already slaved myself to make what you see. I already lost around 6,6 lbs working on Save your mother when I subjected myself to minimal sleep and diet consisting mostly of peanuts.Composing the custom OST took especially lot from me.
Here's a sample from the soundtrack, it's the title. I didn't see how to embed youtube links here so, you have to click.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsC5DUVcoR8&list=UU0sN1L2jCLJm6I4Vil5aMBwI composed 17 tracks for this game. I got permission to use few tracks from a very talented composer, boosting teh ammount of songs to 26.
