The web version doesn't seem to work.

rahazan 2014-12-08 04:31

Killing myself was surprisingly fun ;).

insality 2014-12-08 04:37

HOHOO
just explosive them all, trying to kill myself :D
Brilliant social-game idea, very nice ;]
Good job

Pretty fun game, even though I kept blowing myself up. Great work!

Really fun game! It's an interesting way to approach the theme. One thing I did miss was having powerups or a way to have more than 3 dynamites at once, but it was still great.

drhahn 2014-12-08 11:21

Very realistic.

tiago-ling 2014-12-08 13:54

Very interesting idea! Where did you get the participant names (are they made up or did you use real world data)?

Cool graphics, i really liked the perspective, congrats!

adrianulima 2014-12-08 15:13

I get the names from the LD30 and LD29 results, and many of the posts during the jam including some text that they say in chat.
Have about 380 user names, but show only 250 in game

miguelmurca 2014-12-08 15:44

Nice, though I don't think I'd go to a real life gathering with you :P

tkf15h 2014-12-08 15:49

Fun game! The controls feel kinda sluggish though. Wish I could run around more quickly. And the other guys should try to fight back, it's only fair. :)

rabbeni 2014-12-08 15:49

This would be great multiplayer where you try to kill other players but you don't know who is bot and who is player. Good job

fanttum 2014-12-08 15:49

Well interesting game and it didn't make me feel good either, also movement is a bit slide-y feels like your on ice

timm638 2014-12-08 15:50

You deserve 5 stars from me!

anokta 2014-12-08 15:53

hahaha really fun game! it would have been amazing if we compete against 'real' jammers instead! :)

adrianulima 2014-12-08 15:54

thanks guys.. I will post a PostMortem later and explain why I didn't improve the game, the problem wasn't only time xD

fede3751 2014-12-08 18:40

I laughed so much! This is the best tactic to win the Ludum Dare man! XD
Great game!^^

doublezeroonezero 2014-12-08 19:19

Well, this game seems like legit tutorial =P

ranseur 2014-12-08 19:57

Killed myself trying to kill other partecipants. 5/5

codecranker 2014-12-08 20:11

You can use this game for the next LD for real time tracking of the jammers :p

gins 2014-12-08 22:50

Haha, so that's how you do it. A bit barebones, would have been more fun with powerups of some sorts, but still, it was fun as it is too. It felt SOOO satisfying to get lots of kills with one dynamite, so if that's what you were going for, well done!

nicotuason 2014-12-09 02:47

Yeah THAT'S how you win a game jam! Creative and surprisingly fun, would be better with more responsive controls.

panda 2014-12-09 02:49

Haha, awesome! Love this game, congrats! I love how you used real names, and the comments are spot on!

snemanden 2014-12-09 08:26

Very nice game -- cool idea!

It's lovely to see games that celebrate LudumDare itself! :)

lmt 2014-12-09 18:37

Really interesting game. Surprisingly fun and I love the text on the side.

6downstudios 2014-12-09 19:26

Looks simple, but actually quite fun optimizing placement and movement with the high inertia. Go team haxeflixel!

mintarcade 2014-12-10 13:59

Solid entry. Cool game ;)

ryannielson 2014-12-10 14:03

Neat entry, super unique compared to the other games. The mechanics are very simple though, it'd be cool if there was a bit more to do and the controls weren't as floaty. It'd also be really interesting if you could somehow fill it for the current jam's entries.

louisload 2014-12-10 19:24

"I'm in!" ~ saying this is the new death warrant ahah :DD.
i found your game very humorous and fun, and I find particularly awesome that you got the names of previous LudumDarers and text that was actual said :D nice entry!

ehtd 2014-12-11 03:00

Nice game

krunoslav 2014-12-11 11:03

Haha, nice game! And good idea to win the Jam :D
I liked the graphics too.

demy 2014-12-11 12:56

Ha! Nice idea!

purpleapes 2014-12-11 15:33

Funny Game!

themeorch 2014-12-11 20:15

This is pretty hilarious. Using real names is kind of crazy and ingenious. Nice job, creative work!

lightsoda 2014-12-12 16:19

Interesting idea, silly and kinda fun. At first I had no idea what or who i was controlling, and I nearly blew up my character due to the slow acceleration a couple of times :)

instant-noodles 2014-12-14 16:45

I wich the dynamite where bigger ! ;)

jpmit 2014-12-21 12:18

Hilarious, well done. Haxe(flixel) all the way ;)

sumgato 2014-12-21 14:29

Fun game! I will use these tacticts for the next LD :)
