A walk in the park (JoiSigurdss)

Hey, the sun's out and it looks like a really nice day for a walk.

We can go to the park, maybe we'll meet some people, maybe even play some ball with them. Oh! Ice cream! Yes! We're definitely having some ice cream by the fountain.

Come on, let's take a Walk in the Park!

What is this?

A Walk in the Park is a short game experiment, inspired by Minimalistic Jam.

I wanted to explore minimalistic gameplay, instead of presentation like the jam revolves around. Essentially exploring what makes playing a game interesting without the structure of rules and framework, in the same way we used to have fun as kids, playing outside.

The mechanics in here and reasoning behind them are things that have been swimming around in my head for a while, ideas that I want to continue to exploer. But ultimately, I just really wanted to have a nice walk in the park, in the sun, after experiencing two and a half months of rain in Reykjavík!

How do I play?

Well, an XBox controller is recommended, though keyboard WASD + E will do just as well. oh and B (controller) or Shift will let you run, if you were wondering.

Anyway, that's enough words...

Put your shoes on and let's go!
