This game is pretty RAD.

xgor 2013-04-29 07:38

Really buggy, I get shot but don't get killed but get killed by nothing other times :|

nakato 2013-04-29 07:38

Nice simple multiplayer game !
a minimalist CTF, like it !
Have some lag during my test, but good entry

chickentonight 2013-04-29 07:41

Great game. I suck at it, but I suck at most games. Really simple, so it fits the theme well.

morbidbuilder407 2013-04-29 07:41

Good multi player..

acatcalledfrank 2013-04-29 07:41

This is really good fun. It's a bit laggy when there are lots of people, but that's only to be expected. I like it when people realise you can hold down space and it all goes a bit bullet spam :)

frib 2013-04-29 07:43

Fun game :D

blae > rad

davidemo89 2013-04-29 07:44

I'm working on fix the lag guys, I think I got it =) hopefull!

lanoiadimuu 2013-04-29 07:50

I played it with other 6-7 players and it was awesome!

daniel 2013-04-29 07:53

Nice simple multiplayer. Was only me and one other person online when I tried it out, but it was pretty fun nevertheless :)

HelkeGames 2013-04-29 10:38

Nice game well Done!! :)

ragzouken 2013-04-29 15:08

It's not too hard to play with a friend online, which is great! Could do with respawn delays to make it play better, I think.

Just says "Connecting to the server..." for me, Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65 on OSX 10.8.

davidb 2013-04-30 12:12

"Connecting to the server..." and the following message in the devtools console (in French) :
"L’URL fournie n’est pas autorisée par la configuration de l’application.: Une ou plusieurs URL fournies ne sont pas autorisées par les paramètres de l’application. Elle(s) doi(ven)t correspondre à l’URL du site ou du Canevas, ou le domaine doit être un sous-domaine de l’un des domaines de l’application. "

Server is down. it will be up in some hours

davidemo89 2013-04-30 16:08

Server is up

rwos 2013-04-30 17:10

Multiplayer is always nice! :-) A preventDefault on the space key would have been good, so that it doesn't scroll around for those of us who can't fit the whole game onto the screen (like me). But other than that I like it, actually - pretty much as minimalistic as you can get for a capture-the-flag type game.

davidemo89 2013-04-30 17:53

hey rwos. Thank you =)
The problem is that if I prevent the space button it prevents on the chat too...
You can shoot with SHIFT too =)
I have to work a lot on server stability :-(

frozencow 2013-04-30 21:34

Nice! I'm always worried multiplayer games will not work for Ludum, since not everyone will be online at the same time. None of that here, I see 3 other people, nice going!

GreyShock 2013-04-30 21:36

Great multiplayer action! Minimal capture the flag! It runs pretty smoothly, what's the technology behind this?

davidemo89 2013-04-30 21:46

Hi GreyShock =) thank you.
I used Dart(lang) for the server and client and websocket for send packets. It's a language made by google (still in early beta) and you can compile in javascript too. It works very well but yeah... I have found a bug in the compiler so it's not working with firefox and other browsers :-(
But they are working hard and I have open a bug report :-P hopefull they will fix it soon so I can update the game to work with firefox too =D

darkcortex 2013-04-30 21:58

nice multiplayer :)

thebenjaneer 2013-04-30 22:53

Fun game! Fantastic multiplayer for a browser game especially, nice graphics and a definite match for the theme.
Great Job!
I enjoyed our match :P

shigor 2013-05-01 01:21

no players:/

alwaysinbeta 2013-05-01 08:47

Really good game. Some work on gfx and some sfx would really take it to the next level. The multiplayer works really well, although luckily I as on a team with 2 v 1 :)

l3dx 2013-05-01 09:19

Nice work! I liked it! Big plus for multiplayer!

smealum 2013-05-01 09:55

neat little multiplayer game. it doesn't offer much but it works pretty well !

eggdestroyer 2013-05-01 11:10

Simple, works well, fun. :)

siewart 2013-05-01 11:42

Could use some additional work (Obstacles, especially when there are more players).

But good concept, I like it :)

siewart 2013-05-01 12:02

short update: It's my keyboard that doesn't support UP + LEFT + SPACE at the same time, not your code. But it's a common hardware limitation.

davidemo89 2013-05-01 12:18

Thank you for the report Siewart. Maybe I have to change buttons next time =) Or alert people about it.
Thank you!

bushmango3 2013-05-01 12:41

I'm always impressed by multiplayer games in LD -- I could see how this would be fun with lots of friends/people, but that's always a challenge.

raoz 2013-05-01 13:01

Fun, interensting

fenmar 2013-05-01 13:16

It's a pity there is no Community category anymore, you really deserve special thanks for making sure the players can actually play this. Plus points for HTML5, especially WebSockets and the Chat.

I liked the easy to learn, hard to master gameplay (like where can I stay to be safe, how can I hit the enemies without getting hit, etc.)

I'm not so sure about the life points, however. It took me a while to notice, that only every second hit killed me. Maybe the remaining hitpoints should be more visible (bigger and in fixed position in the corner of the playfield).

Thinks you could add are: Computer controlled enemies (so you don't have to be there all the time) and some sound effects.

All in all it's one of the best games I played so far. Well done!

davidemo89 2013-05-01 13:51

thank you everyone.
Thanks Fenmar, is great to to read this =)

hirsch 2013-05-01 19:38

The usual problem with multiplayer games is:
+ If noone plays it you cannot play --> include AI
+ Lag --> native application instead of web based
This one actually seems to be fun. :)

thijsku 2013-05-01 21:33

Too bad there isn't any sound! The controls made it hard to aim too. But I quite enjoyed the game! Unfortunately I just had one opponent, but it was really fun! With more players it would be even more awesome!

Good job ^^

docix 2013-05-01 21:40

There is a TON of potential here, meaning that this game is a ton of fun, just needs some clean up. Overall, REALLY enjoyable! Awesome work!

loxo 2013-05-02 06:36

Good game. I like the idea, but there are times when no one else is on the server, like now, so it's a little boring. It would be great to have some computer controlled players.

degtyarev 2013-05-02 09:23

Awesome game! FUN-FUN to play. Easy to start and hard to master! Love it! <3

nate427 2013-05-02 18:45

Pretty fun, really wish I could shoot independently of movement though.

jellycakes 2013-05-02 22:32

Really cool game. Gets pretty intense with enough people. Simple mechanics yet enough to keep you interested. Good job!

noa 2013-05-02 22:33

Very addictive game. Great job^^

timtipgames 2013-05-02 22:33

Absolutely awesome how condensed the ctf idea is presented in your game. Played that while watching jellycakes stream with 8 to 10 people and it was awesome! :)

captain_genial 2013-05-02 22:37

Amesome game !
I like a lot !

diningphilosopher 2013-05-03 12:58

Nice one! Too bad there are so few people to play with. Having a kind of arena (possibly randomly generated) would also make it more interesting I think.

avarisclari 2013-05-03 16:08

Fun, even if buggy :D I hope something more comes from this one.

davidemo89 2013-05-03 16:47

Is it buggy? O.O
Please report any bugs so I can fix it on the post compo version =)

tellacool444 2013-06-27 15:49

i like the looks of this but chrome wont load game :( so please make a stand alone version
