HEY GUYS!!
I really can't believe that I made it, after the most stressful and busy days I managed to put a working playable
version together, though it is not all i hoped for, it is still nice and i believe that it presents the concept very well.
there is still many features that had to be left out, but it is what it is ![]()
It's been and amazing experience for me, my first ever gamejam, and i fell in love with this community after watching like a ghost for years....
Working alone was not easy and i had to face many challenges (mostly art wise) that were very fun to overcome.

In Shelves, you help Eyal - a little kid, survive through the night, fighting off the evil toys / monsters who are after
him when the night comes. Using only a flashlight - the most powerful tool against the darkness, you will face some
fun challenges.
The game was designed to be as much simple as it can be, easy to pick up controls and simple goal make this game
fun and accessible for anyone - it's concept is very suitable for mobile gaming.
As this was my first gamejam, and i started in the middle of it (eventually working only 3 days on the game) i had to pick a simple
concept, yet a fun one.
[color=#b22222]The Idea:[/color]
The idea for this game came from my personal life, Eyal - who is me of course.
As a kid i used to have a closet and shelves in front of my bed. To my 5 y'o logic, the night was the enemy, every thing became scary at night!
Even my beloved toys (that my mother used to put on the shelves). Instead of moving the shelves, my parents decided
to teach me how to fight it. They gave me a flashlight and said that as long as it on - no monsters will come near me.
And that is the source of my idea.
[color=#b22222]The Art:[/color]
All of the pictures/sprites were drawn or made in Photoshop by me. Using Galaxy Note 2 (with that pen) to draw the images like
the toys, tutorial,flashlight,hand and more.
[color=#b22222]The Audio:[/color]
Mainly from FreeSound.Org.
background music from nosoapradio.us
Credits are in the About Screen on my game.

So, the game is very easy to pick up as i said, though i still implemented a first time user system which will
direct you immediately to the tutorial at your first time.
