Light Grows (GP Ver.)

This project is submitted for thatgamejam by thatgamecompany, creator behind Sky: Children of the Light. The theme is reaching out for this gamejam. The idea of incorporating the theme is centered around main character, Lumi, reaching out towards befriending an Owlbear that's wreaking havoc in the forest by some mysterious dark power. We took this "reaching out" concept both figuratively and explicitly. Figuratively on the story part where Lumi "reaches out" toward the friend. Explicitly, in one of the mechanics where Lumi uses her light powers to slingshot as a method of platforming. It can be seen that when the player is holding the button to prepare the slingshot, a Light hand is seen reaching out towards the light orb used for the slingshot. This is main mechanic for the game, inspired by the theme for the jam.
