What every western should have been. An hour of guys throwing pianos and shoes at each other while drunk(plus up to, but no more than, five minutes of plot)

Welcome to Ludum Dare!

This would be the best thing ever if it was multiplayer. Still fun as is.

hissssssssss 2015-04-20 04:52

Crashes immediately when I try to run it on 32-bit Windows 7. No error message is given.

nihilaleph 2015-04-20 14:43

Thanks for the feedback!! ^^
Oh I would love to make it multiplayer, but still require more skills xp
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@hissssssssss That's wierd, it was supposed to run on 32-bit... I shall look on to it!

I get 'barfight_win.zip' is malicious and has been blocked by chrome when trying to download the WIndows version

nihilaleph 2015-04-20 18:29

@DKoding In chrome you can just ignore its warning and download it anyway. I think you won't have that problem with other browsers though....

@hissssssssss It's highly possible that your problem has to do with the OpenGL version. The target of my engine is >= 3.0. I'm still trying to make it available for lesser versions but that would probably demand changes in my engine code. For the mean time I will upload again the game with the console open so it can print errors and the OpenGL version. I also tried to change the shaders a bit, so maybe it will work but maybe not >.<

Nice game and sweet use of the theme!
I wish the player wouldn't turn around because it gets a little nauseating, but great game nonetheless!

nihilaleph 2015-04-20 19:58

Thanks @Andrea!
Sorry about the sprite rotation >.< I wish I could make the animation/better sprites to make the game feel better, but didn't have enough time/skill xp

hectate 2015-04-20 21:39

Hilarious. The only downside its that it's easy to get surrounded and weaponless - like a real bar fight I assume.

nihilaleph 2015-04-20 21:44

@Hectate Oh, the first AI was so merciless, if he got you cornered with a spoon it was almost hopeless kkkk
Thanks for the feedback!

Who needs Drunken Fist when you have Drunken Piano! The last boss took a few tries, but I think the difficulty was quite nice. Graphics and sounds are pretty basic but they get the job done. Good job on your first LD :).

nihilaleph 2015-04-20 23:12

@nassi Thank you for playing my game too!! I still can't beat yours though xp

nightlord 2015-04-21 01:41

played until night 3 and had a lot of fun. Things I liked:
- the weight of the objects effecting your speed. makes it super tactical to choose which item to use as weapon
- the variety of different attacks (throw, stab, swing). again makes interesting combinations between object and attack.
- the feel of movement
suggestions:
- if you get caught without an object between guys and can't move you are dead. i think stab and swing should continue to work even if i am not holding an object. maybe does little damage i would still be swinging my arms in a bar fight in that situation :)

great game overall, congrats

nihilaleph 2015-04-21 02:17

@nightlord Thank you for the feedback! Too bad you didn't become a true Drunken Master XD I was thinking about implementing a default weapon (fists) but didn't have enough time to think how I should do it... Also there were so many weapons that I thought maybe it was unnecessary xp

ouro17 2015-04-21 09:06

Great game! It's fit perfecly the theme and it's funny, congrats!

vogon101 2015-04-21 18:15

Really fun

p4nurge 2015-04-21 18:33

Took me a while to get used to the controls but once I did I was flinging banana like an old hand. Fun!

esayitch 2015-04-21 18:36

Great concept and the graphics are okay, could have used better animations but it's good as is. Sfx were pretty nice too. Movement was pretty difficult (which I guess is the whole point when you're drunk xD)

Good luck!

nihilaleph 2015-04-21 22:44

@Ouro17 @vogon101 @vogon101 @panurge @easyitch Thank you all for playing!

wg_phancock 2015-04-22 02:06

Controls are pretty awkward.

I enjoyed the fact that (at least it seems) different weapons impacted your movement speed differently.

reismahnic 2015-04-22 02:31

Really just a great time. Now I can live out my wildest dreams of being spontaneous and violent, but without the horror that reality brings!
Basically, exactly what I want out of a game.

nihilaleph 2015-04-22 03:20

@wg_phancock Oh yes, as written in the description, each weapon has its own damage, weight and durability, also the character has a drunkness level for each night which affects his movement and aim, maybe that's what made the controls ackward?

@Reis Mahnic Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking out my game too! ^^

teamquadratic 2015-04-23 03:39

To be honest I'd say the game moved a bit too fast to completely follow and the graphics honestly didn't help. Some very good ideas though!

nppro93 2015-04-23 03:44

Cool game! The number of weapons is impressive. I think with some more time to work on controls and visuals, it can be even better.

nihilaleph 2015-04-23 04:14

@TeamQuadratic Yeah, sorry about the graphics ^^; I promise I'll improve my art skills for the next LD! I made the game movement fast to make it more chaotic, like a bar fight xp but thank you for the feedback!

@CalrsonAndPeeters Thank you! Likewise I promise I'll work on my art skills xp About the control, aside the drunkness of the character I thought about making the aim in the mouse to make it feel better, but I had more actions than buttons in the mouse ^^; I'll try to make it better next time!

hambone88 2015-04-23 06:18

I liked it!

kinosawada 2015-04-23 06:57

Good game!

elpaulo 2015-04-23 15:20

Nice first entry, I want to be able to press N to drink again IRL !

nihilaleph 2015-04-28 23:47

@Hambone @Tatsu Studio @elpaulo Thank you for playing!

nopogo 2015-04-29 08:07

Like the huge variety of weapons

nicealexanderas 2015-05-08 12:54

Just bit the sh*t out of those guys , fun game, kind of hard :D

alhvi 2015-05-10 08:10

I'm a drunken master. Congratulations on your first LD. Nice game. At the beginning it was a little difficult for me to get used to the controls. At the end the only button I used was throw (c). The boss fight was very difficult for me, I had to try a lot of times. But it was fun. Good job.

nihilaleph 2015-05-11 23:09

@nopogo @LON3 WOLF @alhvi Thank you for playing!
