This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam
What I Built
The tilt and Turn game
The objective of The Tilt and The Turn is to guide your character (the bright white silhouette) from the bottom of the world to the Turning Point Shrine at the very top of the level.
Along the way, you must
1.Manage the angle of the world using keyboard tilt controls to manipulate gravity and shadows.
2.Manage your vitality (avoiding active hazards) and the ticking solar clock to achieve one of three distinct narrative endings (Dawn, Noon, or Dusk) depending on the time of day you reach the finish
The game firstly will feel tricky but continue to reach that goal
How it related to june solstice game
The game consists of two dots red and blue:
Red dots: Touching it opens a reflection on June 19, 1865 (Juneteenth). It describes how the news of freedom arrived two and a half years late to enslaved people in Texas, casting "long shadows" of a delayed truth. It represents the idea that freedom is a slow, steady turning of the entire world.
Blue dots:Touching it opens a reflection on June 28, 1969 (The Stonewall Riots / Pride). It describes how those living in the shadows stood up into the light in Greenwich Village to fight for visibility, reminding us that being seen requires courage.
Purple dot: Touching it reveals a reflection on June 21st (The Summer Solstice), the longest day of the year, symbolizing how we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us to tilt the axis of progress.
Most interestingly when the clock time reach to 12:00 that is noon then the world suddenly tilt opposite showing the time changes from the long period to short period from that time that is after june 21
What we should consider while playing it
We should consider the game to reach the goal in every way where there will be obstacles like blue boxes and where gravity also plays role to loose us but we should continue to reach our goal each time and will end on these conditions(early before 11:30 or between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM or after 1:30 PM) with different messages will shown each time when we reach goal.
Once you read your ending, you can click "Re-Align the Axis" to restart and try to reach the goal at a different time of day to experience the other stories.
