Pyweek 19 - Favorite Bits: Lightswitch & Sentient Storage
The entries have been a blast to play through (although I still have a good amount of the games to play this week). Here are some of my favorite bits so far from a couple of the games this Pyweek - Lightswitch and Sentient Storage.
Lightswitch
I ended up playing this game for much longer than I was expecting to. There’s a wonderful humor to this game and it’s hard to tell how much of that was planned by the game’s creators.
The goal is to find a pattern of words/letters by typing them into the dark room. If you find the pattern and submit five words in a row that satisfy the necessary condition, the contents of the room are revealed (I’ve been having a good time trying to find correlations between each room’s contents and the implied word patterns). Each word or combination of letters you throw into the void will generate a drawing in either red or green, letting you know whether or not the word you gave fit the correct pattern.
Overall a fun game. You can download and play Lightswitch, as well as check out the team’s documentation and diary entries, on their Pyweek entry page: https://pyweek.org/e/lightswitch/
Sentient Storage
This game went all out on the graphics and sound production for only having a week.
I found myself stuck several times trying to figure out the inventory/object-based puzzles. This is a game that had me wishing for a walkthrough, and starting over several times from the beginning trying to find pieces I may have missed.
