make a gameplay video I got no Ipad! (please)

I added a video to the description.

Seems very slow paced, I don't know if that's intended. It would benefit greatly if it had a bit of music also. Cool idea to make the enemies turn red when they are almost dead.

Classic gameplay. Looks fun, but as I said it would be a bit better if it was faster and maybe more ennemies.

Custom sounds aren't built in to Codea yet, they're coming in the next update. Currently there's only the built-in sound() function, which uses custom wavelengths and stuff. I have no idea how to use it, but currently you can't import sound.

I was worried the characters would be too fast. Now that I look back, though, it is quite slow. And I found out about LD 27 late, and I started coding immediately. When I checked the website today it said I had about an hour and a half, and I hadn't even implemented the stars. I just had time to finish that and I posted it. If only I had more time, I would have had more enemies. Maybe I'll work on that as a separate project...

12 years old? Great job then. Speed it up a bit and I'd love it even more.

Yeah, the slow character feels like a drag

It was really just collect stars and constantly shoot the same enemy... But for 21 hours and being that young it's awesome

well done! add explosions ,particles and speed it up, i love it ,those little zombies look cool. max points!

First off I'm looking wholly at the video since I don't own an iPad. The graphics look good but the speed of the game is incredibly slow. It also takes forever to kill enemies. The bullets also seem to be going through the enemies, which is odd... unless they were LASER BEAMS!

Well done for getting in an entry, looks pretty solid. Just a shame we can't play it for ourselves.

The player moves a bit slow but the graphics style is rather interesting, it's simple but looks good.

Wow dude, when I was 12 I was.. well.. nevermind ;) What I wasn't doing though was entering game jams! Great job for a first entry!

A couple of pointers, if I may:

Faster (not harder though) gameplay, a simple silly dying animation and a repetitive background loop are easy ways to makes it more addictive!

Gameplay shouldn't be too repetitive - add different waves, a boss or whatever, they don't have to be hard to make, just make them faster, bigger, tougher - and reward more points ;)

A simple, even silly, story like "Make it to the end to save your family" can help people immerse more in the game.

Other than that, it's fun and a really great start as I see it! Keep it up :)

Watched the gameplay vid since no ipad so that kind of stinks! But the game seemed pretty fun would be addicting getting more time and trying to kill the zombies! There was no audio which is a downer but it seems like it has potential!

12 years old, serious? and I thinking that am special by having 15. Good job, if you practise more can do really good games :)!

mesene 2013-08-29 22:37

Keep working on it :) be proud of it

archaeometrician 2013-09-02 02:24

Sweet little game :) Congratulation !

paperblurt 2013-09-02 15:54
