nLight

nLight

This game is my submission for "My First Game Jam" 2024, with the theme "Light".

nLight is my first solo game, created entirely in Scratch. In this game, you catch fireflies to light up the night sky and progress through different levels. Each firefly type contributes differently to your score:

• Yellow Fireflies: Add 1 light point.
• Orange Fireflies: Add 2 light points.
• Green Fireflies: Rare but valuable, adding 3 light points.

The goal is to collect enough light within a set time to advance to the next level.

Features:

• Simple and intuitive drag-and-drop mechanics.
• Various types of fireflies with unique point values.
• Increasing challenge with each level.

Challenges and Known Bugs:

• The main issue currently is that due to latency it's almost impossible to actually catch the fireflies.
• Occasionally, level one might auto-complete unintentionally. This is an unexpected bug due to Scratch limitations, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience.
• Similarly to the previous issue, sometimes levels will auto-lose due to the same latency issues.
• The game is possible to win, however latency issues are affecting game balance.

Creating this game was a fantastic learning journey, and I'm excited to share it with you. Despite the challenges, I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and hope you enjoy playing nLight as much as I enjoyed making it.
