I wish I could play your game, but I'm on Mac OS X :'(
Yes, that is unfortunate. :( CoolBasic is an ancient beta-language, and not even open source, so there is only Windows export. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
(Just tried it on Win 8 and it looks like crap for some reason. I don't know if you can play it in compability mode or something to make it better. It's playable, but blurry.)
Doesn't run on my computers. I am on Windows 8.1 64bit and Linux (Ubuntu) with Wine.
Memory access violation (Windows 8.1)
Could play the game. It's working fine (Windows 8.1 x64). I missed the possibility to attack both right and left.
Funny game !
The graphics really look washed out. It was hard for me to understand the mixing part to build a weapon and I was one blink away of closing the game before I got it to work. You are really missing sounds, but overall the game is promising.
I managed to complete it :) It was fun but some audio would be nice.
Innovative for sure. You didn't go with one unconventional weapon, you went with like 10, then let us mix them! Great idea. Could obviously go for some music, and the ability to face left (if it's there i missed it).
It's a good attempt, and the idea is pretty cool, but the execution is bare bones. I suppose you had to spend a lot of time making the code do simple tasks, and it shows. The graphics are, for ludum dare, just fine, but the gameplay is awkward and not really developed. It's a good idea and you have the right start to execute this well, but the game is just not done. I'd say : port this to a better language, and develop it. You've got a good idea here.
Haha, very cool! I liked experimenting with the weapon combinations. I managed to get to the cookies with one of them (spoiler: vacuum cleaner and knife) but most of the other ones I found were hilariously useless :D
Wish I could turn around. Good idea though I could only figure out how to make one weapon. Could make some other combinations more obvious?
I love this game hahaha. The best weapon I made was the broom ball knife morning star?
Cool crafting, neat idea :D liked how it worked
Black screen after around 2s. I use windows 7
Looks like a good game. Can't play because i'm on linux tho
:( if you want to appeal to linux and mac users try LOVE 2d
it's probably similar but i don't really know (Never used coolbasic). I'm going to rate and play this on my friends windows machine to see how good it is.
Hard to understand!
I like all the weapons, shame about the audio but 48 hours is not a long time at all
Seems funny and not a hard game (I assembled a weapon, just kept firing and continuously going right, and finally won.) Like it! And some funny sound FX will absolutely add fun to this game!
Interesting idea, but I had some trouble figuring out how to get started. First game I've seen in CoolBasic!
Cool idea! Took me a while to figure out possible things I could craft.
Chocolate chip, aw yiss!
I got it running on XP in VMWare for all the fun LD windows .exe games. Enjoyed combining weapons in the left panel, nice idea, cool basic looks mad.
Good use of the theme, even if I'm not sure what to think of the setting... Combining weapons was fun, though a few more clues would have helped. Some weapons would work a lot better if you could turn around though.
Well done, the concept is great. I liked it.
Vacuum cleaner and a knife: Powerful, but quite hard to use because you have to retrieve the knife after shooting. Verdict: Failure.
Broomstick and a rope: A whip with some good crowd control, but the damage was lacking. Verdict: Failure.
A tube, fuel(?) and a ball: A true ghettoblaster. Somewhat hard to hit people though. Verdict: Failure.
Vacuum cleaner and a ball: A worse ghettoblaster. Verdict: Failure.
Vacuum cleaner and a broomstick: Average damage, nice knockback, good hitbox. Hard to use because you have to retrieve the broomstick. Verdict: Failure.
But add a piece of rope into the mix and you're set for life. That thing was beastly. Verdict: Overwhelming success.
(Checked the thinky.txt too and seems like I missed some obvious combinations :P).

Cool crafting system and it was neat that not all "weapons" were equally viable. Worked decently for me and looks good enough for a compo entry.
But the main reason I played this was the fact that it was made in CoolBasic. Had to dig out an old USB drive with my own CoolBasic projects on it and judging by the modified field on the files it has been nearly ten years since then! Judging by my compo entry for this LD I haven't come far enough since that day...
Good luck, fellow Finndev. Keep it up!
Difficult to find the right combos to make weapons. Only one we got was the Vacuum and the knife together. Was a little laggy but not unplayable. Needed the ability to face left, attacking only to the right only made it really hard.
Really funny game xD. Crafting was a bit hard to understand at first. Nothing seemed to work. Awwww yis :D...
