Deeply Lost

Some new updates: -Stars -Bug Fixes -New window -some changes in some levels More updates are on way I finally added medals, let me know if doesn´t work. Someone told me that medals only work if you play with the flashplayer plugin, If you play with ruffle and don’t unlock medals tell it so I can know Controls:Move around using the up-down-left-right buttons in your keyboard The collission that the character has with the ground (the clouds) is square, it is located right above his feet. Main plot: The central plot of the game (for those who did not understand) is about a student that glances at a girl holding a kite outside in the playground, he takes this one image, and he imagines a sequence of scenes that only happens in his mind. Inside this story he made up, the little girl is not holding a kite but rather a balloon, then the wind blows hard enough to make the girl lose it, next the main protagonist appears in the scene and goes after the balloon, the balloon flew to very high attitudes which makes the character follow it. he reaches the kingdom of heavens (Not god´s heaven but other creatures´ heaven) and he follows the balloon. I´m not going to explain what happens next because that is spoiler also. I made this game thinking about how I used to not pay attention in class or anywhere else, my mind goes somewhere else, I have problems focusing because my mind is clouded with thoughts; However, this game´s meaning is not just about me, it has more meaning relating to many (philosophical) but I don´t want to give spoilers, it´s part of the game for you to figure it out. This game has a specific art style that you may notice, (Blurry clouds, plants fountains) it relates to the meaning. Also the music, is not chiptune or 8 bit nor it has drums or specific rhythms, but I made it having something else in mind. Whereas for the creatures, the game also explores the idea of the sky being like an ocean, but instead with animals it’s aliens or strange creatures who live there As for the graphics (also relate to the story and meaning), I came up with this type of drawings like crayon style because I wanted to bring something new for flash games since most either use brush drawings or pixelated pics which are cool but I wanted to bring something else to see what you think of it. There where some limitations and obstacles (you don´t have to know this but if you want to you can) the game was made using macromedia flash 8. Flash 8 has limitations regarding the file size it depends on virtual memory and RAM, every time a game or fla file exceeds let’s say 90,000 MB you cannot add more things to it otherwise it will close itself or a pop up will apear saying something like ¨Flash 8 is running out of virtual memory allocate more memory by closing other programs¨ because of this limitation I had to remove some things from the game that occupied too much space and things like that. This game was originally planned to include medals, but in the process I faced another issue, the medals I made for the game did not work because something wrong with the API connection, the API was successfully connected but it still did not work, it stated ¨Failed to unlock medal ******¨, so I left this game without medals because there was no other way, if you know how to solve this issue and you know about it please help me so I can add them to the game and make it more fun and enjoyable for all, thanks. As for the rest, thanks for the time, enjoy the game, I accept criticism. If you notice any glitches-errors or things that shouldn´t be there feel free to comment them so I can know xd, I think I made sure every hole was filled but just in case. It´s very exciting to me being here for this forward, Thanks.
