🎯 Focus Hunt

Focus Hunt is my entry for Ludum Dare 57.

It's a look-and-find game with an extreme shallow depth of field. Focus carefully to spot and capture the hidden Easter elements scattered throughout the scene!

🧠 About the Game

Everything in this game—code, art, and sound—was created during the 48-hour Compo for Ludum Dare 57.
The theme was "Depths", and instead of diving into dark caves or oceans, I chose to explore depth of field in photography.

💡 Inspiration

The game was inspired by my daughter, who loves look-and-find books and games. She also suggested the Easter theme—her excitement about the holiday helped shape the visuals and objectives. How thought it would be a nice change of pace from the dark or moody interpretations of the "Depths" theme.
