A Fairy Trail
A Fairy Trail, a "Zelda like" in pixel art, is a 2D game where, for a change, the player does not incarnate the main character!
The player controls a small fairy who accompanies the brave hero, who is unfortunately almost blind ... The fairy will allow throughout their journey to show the way, and will indirectly control him with its powder trail if the need arises ...
The difficulty lies in the fact that the fairy is defenseless, unlike his companion who is a real warrior and goes head down against the enemies. The two characters will have to help each other to be able to progress in the various dungeons, either by making a way between the various monsters they will meet, or by solving the different puzzles that will be presented to them ...
This game was made during a 3 month amateur JAM (on our free time, it must be told!). The JAM had a theme defined in one word: "companion", in english, which allowed to have translations that could vary and thus to obtain games that stick to the same theme without necessarily resemble each other.
We were two developers on this project, but unfortunately no graphic artist available to accompany us ...
Games participating in the JAM have been posted on itch.io. The JAM is amateur, some participants did not really followed the theme, and saw in it a good opportunity to try to create their first video game!
It was a really interesting experience, although the result leaves us a little hungry, in the sense that the time devoted to development is not obvious looking at the duration of the game (about 10-15 minutes, and a few dozens of deaths ...). When we have a little time to rededicate, we will add new dungeons!
