venture across a softly-shaded world of platforms and particles. listen to its whispers and reach the end.

sunset-shaped is a tight and responsive platformer with five challenging levels and a calming atmosphere.

features

• interesting and tough level designs
• simple and accessible controls - a singular jump and movement keys
• flexible movement to nail the most precise of jumps
• sweet and peaceful soundtrack and sound design
• infinite opportunities for challenge runs and modifications

stay safe, sunset-shaped child.

the jam

the 'stop waiting for godot' jam was for new developers to try their hand at godot, and for experienced godot devs to learn a new area. in this game, i focused on getting familiar with particles.

the jam lasts 4 days, but i created this in one day and a bit.

stuck?

don't worry. many people get stuck at level 3 or 4 or 5. try this playthrough video and see if it can help.

updates

v1.1.1 and v1.1.2 fixes bugs, makes the game smoother, and got rid of the windows crash :)

v1.1.0 now has mod support!

v1.0.5 is a bug patch for v1.0.4. there were many bugs.

v1.0.4 adds a level selector and a screen to show you the time taken for each level.

v1.0.3 fixes a bug where you sometimes don't cling to walls and just slide off them. special thanks to thalia for finding the reason.

v1.0.2 is a minor update that brings about some bug fixes, removing off one block from level 3 to make it easier, as well as a timer and death count. oh, and also a pause screen and resetting levels.

(v1.0.1 was the same thing. except it didn't work.)
