Living Red

A small game made by me for GameDev.tv Halloween Jam 2026

Red is magic

Play as a young witch who has inherited the family's fields at the edge of the forest. The fields were closed one by one and eventually abandoned all together thanks to the uninvited vampire bats that just love red

Build up and gather red from your own flock of sheep, fight back against the vampire bats, and take back your farm, field by field!

How to play

• Gather red from sheep with RMB (LT) but make sure you don't drain them like the vampire bats!
• Fire with LMB (RT)
• Spawn sheep with 1 (left face button)
• Spawn collector pixies with 2 (up face button)
• Spawn turret with 3 (right face button)
• Context-aware interaction with E (down face button)
  • Interact with fences to unlock a new field and increase the total amount of sheep you can contain
  • Interact with turrets to deconstruct. You won't salvage any red but it will reduce the cost of spawning another
  • Interact with dead drained sheep to bury them

Notes

• Everything was created by me during the jam duration (no gen-AI was used)
• There is no audio in the jam version
• Controllers should work but don't seem to in the browser. Maybe you'll be luckier? Or maybe not, aiming with controller is hard, you're probably better off not using it anyway
