Is there anyway you can provide a download link for LOVE? The site only lists 0.9

scrap_works 2013-12-16 20:15

Here's the download link to LOVE 0.8 for anyone who needs it:
Windows 64bit - https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/love-0.8.0-win-x64.exe
Windows 32bit - https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/love-0.8.0-win-x86.exe

I was a bit confused, after the first level, my guys wouldn't move...

binary_gambit 2013-12-17 00:33

oh it might be worth mentioning that the simulation only runs when you move. Press spacebar to wait!

Very interesting concept. Could use a tutorial of sorts, because the gameplay is not immediately obvious.

seed: 007
3 jumps

Interesting concept, but even with the instructions I felt a little lost as to what to do at any given moment. still quite an interesting game

ninjacharlie 2013-12-17 01:53

Nice job! I really like this one. I would've liked slightly better instructions, but overall it was great.

ehtd 2013-12-17 02:25

A bit confusing, but has potential.

Windows EXE didn't work, asked for DevIL.dll. Installed LOVE and ran the game that way instead.

I got 4 jumps with seed 007. It was going pretty well until I spawned right on top of a bunch of turrets and I died in about 3 turns. Really interesting concept, it's like a roguelike strategy game. You really have to budget your resources, which makes the game much more interesting.

ive added the required DLLs to the executable. Should be aok now. Thanks for all the comments so far!

alismuffin 2013-12-17 11:19

This was pretty fun. Nice concept and well implemented.

moop 2013-12-17 11:28

Really enjoyed it once I figured out what I was supposed to be doing and found some working tactics.

tinymoonstudios 2013-12-17 12:57

Could have used some clearer instructions and a more precise take on the theme but pretty good for a 72hr game.

griffin 2013-12-18 00:18

Nice work. Took a bit to realise what I had to do and how to play, but good fun once I got the hang of it.

blazingfanfish 2013-12-18 00:34

Nice game, but a sound would be nice. And does the enemy keep respawning? It's get though just having many turrets with endless enemies lol

insane66 2013-12-18 04:46

I had one huge battle going on. That was pretty neat, some stats would be fun just to see how many of the enemy you killed waiting to jump.

roguenoodle 2013-12-18 10:05

Really interesting concept, although a bit tricky to understand. Obviously hard to create a tutorial in 72 hours, but it would be nice to see it expanded with one in the future.

undonedevs 2013-12-18 10:45

Great logos! Fun Game!

glovecat 2013-12-18 11:14

Good art style but it was hard understand the mechanics

dikkop 2013-12-18 12:30

Really cool game! Awesome idea and gameplay as well as challenging. Sound/music could use a little boost ;)

atomicvikings 2013-12-18 13:09

I don't know what to do :D But it looks great. Maybe a tutorial could help? :)

archaeometrician 2013-12-18 15:21

Cool game ! I like the turn based concept. The seed add a lot replayability ! Great job !

xk 2013-12-18 16:47

Would be a much better game if it had some soft start tutorial thingy!

vladp 2013-12-18 18:03

Cool game, great job. Got to a point where I placed like 40 torrents and no one could pass and eventually no more waves came to me, but I couldn't jump either.

lightsoda 2013-12-18 20:28

A pretty good strategy game, I managed a couple of jumps. Not quite sure how to regain resources and units.

nikteddy92 2013-12-18 22:03

PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW!!! AWESOME!!!!

kane 2013-12-22 15:56

My first turn based RTS of this LD, and it was greatly done!
I think a move to/attack order may be a plus for a next version.

Thanks for the fun :)

adonaac 2013-12-24 09:31

Super fun and addicting. REALLY nice job on the gameplay for this. Like I already said, making a full game (probably a flash game) out of this would be really interesting, as the gameplay is catchy, simple enough and just plain fun. Really really nice job!

binary_gambit 2013-12-26 11:01

I've uploaded a new version that is compatible with Love2d 0.9.0
Thanks for all the comments so far. :D
