Dude, the mood is phenomenal, loved the skull's humor. The boss is damn hard :D
Good game :)
Thanks, man! :)
Guys, apparently I can't edit the post, so here's the URL to a Mac version:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46859293/Abbadon%201.0%20for%20MacOSX/Abbadon%201.0%20for%20MacOSX.app.zip
Awesome mood :D Unfortunately is kinda frustrating having to read the story again every time you die.
I feel ya, man!
I posted the game here 3 minutes before the time limit, so you can imagine my rhythm at the time XD
And it's a single line of code to change that!
I'll try posting a new version tonight :)
As far as I know brushes are ok to use cause they are essentially tools.
Really?
You have a fair point..
I enjoyed the weird art! It was fun, and unique!
The bats are a bit hard to beat though, and it's hard to skip over the intro :(
Looks really promising, but I just can't bring myself to sit through the opening each time I die (if not for the lack of skipping, but the flashing lights give me a headache). A real shame because I like the look & feel of this. :/
Thanks, guys!
Yeah, I'm really really sorry for that!
I'll post a link in 3 hours with that corrected :)
Alright, so I did this minor correction (I changed from Application.Loadlevel("first_scene") to Application.Loadlevel("hell") and that's pretty much it :)
Hope it brings a different perspective!
Thanks a lot, guys!
PS: I also added a web player :)
I had fun playing, loved the mood, art, sound.. all high marks there! I would have liked to see more of the evolution theme come out. I hope you add more after LD I'd be interested in seeing how it turns out.
Wow, thank you! :)
Yes, I guess I could make some more!
Serious points for innovation. I have never played anything like this before. Shame about the free shaders.
Thanks :)
Yes, but I'll be prepared and aware next time!
:D
I really love the music in this entry and the way it blends with the art style. It makes this a very special piece, even though the gameplay is very minimal.
Great mood and graphics!
Wow that is one trippy %$#! game! Awesome dude so weird but so cool. Only feedback is that maybe the final boss isn't so tricky, or perhaps have a waypoint so you don't have to go through the dialog every time.
Thanks a lot for the compliments :D
Yeah, at first I was planning at least two levels, but by the time I got the hang of the mechanics it was sunday afternoon!
I should've worked on a "skip cutscene", but again, that's what I could do in 48h :)
I'm getting convinced on continuing this game due to positive feedback!
Good graphics, but I see the fatal error right after the first screen. Tried it in web
Yeah, apparently if you're in a mac, it crashes :/
I'm very sorry for that!
I didn't really get how I lost, since it always happened seconds after I had been hit the last. I liked how the player's character said the same things in the same order both times.
What's with the crazy graphics, feel like I ate some bad prawns or something
I like the mood of this game - really like the whole feeling of it.
Oh yeah, I didn't have time to do a death scene, sorry :/
Apparently some people get sick from looking at the second screen!
Thanks, sampyxis :)
On Mac OS the game freezes once I enter the house. The same thing happens when using the Unity Web Player. What I saw and hear before the freezes looks good though.
Really like this game! And I agree with Andrew, I think free brushes are fine. I really like the presentation and the punch combo mechanic is very compelling. My main criticism is that I was confused on how to move at times.
Again, I'm very sorry for that!
I don't own a Mac myself but usually the games I build for it work just fine!
I'll take a look at it tonight :)
Nice art, good music, the boss? was kind of random. Tried to beat it but I got killed without knowin why. Keep going!
Great visuals / art style, fun writing.
Sorry to hear about the brush issue. Some remarks in case you keep on working on the game: The fence is hard to see. During the fighting sequence (in between bat attacks)I got some strange game overs and could not really progress far into the game (Webplayer, tried re-loading, did not help).
madpew and Kumquat, thanks!
About the game over, I didn't have time to make a game over screen, so it's the same as dying :/
Sorry about that!
Yes, the fence is hard to see :/
It took me a while to finish it on photoshop, but when I realized it I was doing the face at the same layer as the soil, so I just left it like that :P
Visual and sound productions are nice. Gameplay lacks a lot of visual feeback like screen shakes when you're hit or you kill bats. Collision detection could also be A LOT MORE forgiving ^^ Nice work anyway !
Hard to play but awesome mood and graphics
Yeah, I started a blink script but I didn't have time :P
Hey Gustavo, you are a true artist to did these graphics with less than a day knowing photoshop ;)
Congrats for your girlfriend Paula who take care of you mad man XD
The best: the frenetic style and the music too
juaxix, thanks for the compliment but I don't deserve it :/
I used some brushes (which I'm gonna link in this post tonight) with the drawings done! I can't draw for shit XD
I just colored the pictures and used them!
And that's why I ended up as a jammer instead of a competitor :)
Yeah, my gf's an angel!
Trippy... I move really slowly and I don't get the controls. Are WASD the primary ones?
hmm, actually it's the arrow keys XD
Great game :)
Thank you, TheSarcastic!
I guess..
'-'
Hey man, good job! =)
Thanks! :)
Same as what with everyone is saying. The mood, graphics and humor are great. Really hard though. Fun? Not so much, although I did plow through the game just to get to see what other awesome things the game has in store for me.
Using the mac-version I'm having trouble when entering the house - the programme doesn't react anymore.
'Fives' in all fields. The game is awesome.
I really admire the art of this game, its sound design, and humor. I'd like to see more of such surrealists dialogs, and honestly I find genius most of your artistic choices I can't explain, such as the way abbadon's voice is displayed. Oh and i'm a total fan of the attack, this game left me stunned.
Fantastic game. Really impressed with the graphics.
kinda unique game in all this LD, great job D:
Wow, thanks a lot, guys!
To think that halfway through the event I thought like giving up..
Your feedbacks make it rewarding :)
Thanks again!
Both the web and mac builds crash on me every time I enter the door in the first scene :(
Tried playing it on my macbook. I'll give it another go when I get home to my desktop in a few days.
Hey, man! I impressed with battle mechanic and art style! Good work! But I can't figure out where evolution...
Very nice graphics and mood. Gameplay was lacking, but the artistic innovation was nice.
Absolutely love art direction, music and writing. However, pre-boss checkpoints and way to skip dialogues is a must. Please release a post-compo version, I badly want to finish this game :(.
Hey, guys!
Yeah, I apparently can't find where it crashes on mac, but it does at the second scene. I'm very very sorry for that!
@SaintHeiser
The idea was to develop something like "King of Dragons" where you LVL up at the end of each stage, so you can notice that when you face the boss, your appearance changes and your force hands change into diabolical symbols!
Yes, I planned the 'plot twist' at the second playable stage, but I was kinda reckless with my time!
I'm seriously considering doing a post-compo version :)
