Same here..
Right I thought I fixed this but the game requires that openAL is installed. The installation can be found here: http://openal.org/downloads/ I'll see if I can put together a package that includes the missing DLL as well..
Unfortunately I cannot run this Windows 64 bit exe on my 32 bit machine, could you add another build?
Had the issues as well. Tho no sounds mightve been and improvement. Very load with not mute button!
Great & hard game as per usual Alex :D A tutorial would have been nice since it took me a while to figure out what to do.
Cool simple game. Theme was there, okay sound. Commands are a bit wonky, ship's and cannon's rotation to sensitive, overal a okay game.
@gonutz : This is a 32-bit build for 32-bit machines. I've verified that it works on older versions of 32-bit Windows 10 and on an up to date 64-bit Window 10. You might just be missing the redist files: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145
@cg-fred : Thanks for the feedback. It's basically asteroids with resource management and a power siphoning grappling hook. I didn't think it needed more explaining :-)
Pretty hard game, but overall like it. Interesting idea :grinning:
The art style looks nice, and the environment has been designed nicely. The game is tricky and hard to play, and I say that in a positive sense. Overall, nicely made :)
Yeah! It's good to play with the controller :)
I love every developper who did that!
MAYBE THE SOUND IS TOO LOUD x) But audio is nice so it's ok ;)
Very nice game, but every time you die, you have to start from the level 1... It's quite annoying.
So I go to the 4th level and then I give up :(
Good work!
ummmm, huh? I died a bunch of times not even seeing what killed me! I guess there's no light, so you can't see the enemies? If you at least emitted light that would help... I was able to latch onto some invisible enemy though, and got to level 2, only to immediately die by some unknown force again... I suppose you could say its a reeeeally hard game... haha
The controls were pretty weird to get the hang on, I'm used to "if the arrow keys are used, they are used to move around", ya know? The game is quite chalenging and seems to take some time to get good at it, my first couple of lives were basically getting murdered trying to wrap my head around the controls, perhaps an easier first stage could help.
Man, what a blast from the past. Brought me straight back my childhood in the 90's, looks like something that could have come straight from a Finnish shareware cd. Especially the backgrounds and the game over screen. I don't know if that was your intention, but you absolutely nailed it. And I mean that in the very best way possible!
Even the .dll problems remind me of that time :D Although for me it ran perfectly.
I also really appreciated the gamepad support and I liked the grappling hook once I got used to it. I guess the only real problems are the technical ones, but as I said, I didn't have any. Thanks for making this game!
Gosh, what a learning curve. It took me about 5 minutes to actually beat what I thought was the entire game, and then I had such a "That was just the first level" moment. I eventually made it to level 4, but died there several times and couldn't get past it. The art was good, the music was great, and the game was arcade-y and fast paced! I loved it!
That music is frigging awesome.
This is brutally difficult, and also not entirely clear at first. I did eventually figure it out and it went ok, but the controls are super-twitchy. Also be aware, the XBONE controller has horrible bumpers. They are ok for just pressing, but I found holding them down very uncomfortable.
It seems rather unfair to have to avoid enemies that I can't see. The game is hard enough without the darkness preventing me from making them out.
Interesting mechanic, in need of some refinement for difficulty.
Did I mention that the music is awesome? My subwoofer be all like WHAM.
@modalmodule @nintendoeats Thanks for the great feedback! The enemies aren't meant to be invisible. Don't maximise the window. The game is intended to be played at a 640x480 resolution. It seems there's a bug in the shader code when maximising the window.
Now, if you really want to maximise the window there's a a version with the shader fixed. I don't recommend it though, since they game really was made to run at 640x480 :-) http://www.cogitarecomputing.com/wreckage/wreckageShaderFixedWithOpenAL.zip
It may be hard to control, but I don't know why, I try and try again :D It's like an arcade game :)
Great job !
Hey !
Game looks and sounds pretty cool, but I had a very hard time playing it as most objects appeared very dark, which is not easy to see in space. Still, the concept is great, and sticks with the theme really nicely. I'd say fix the visual (although it might be on my end), and maybe tune down the energy loss for colliding with things a notch. Good entry otherwise :)
Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
The music was catchy and I really liked the animations. The rotation of the ship and the gun felt a little fast. Have to say I didn't expect the ship to bounce off the sides of the screen but I used it to my advantage :smile:. Overall this was a really cool game. Congrats on finishing it!
Well now I see it actually is a 32 bit Windows exe but it still gives me the message
wreckage.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
on startup. Maybe that really has something to do with the C++ library but I don't want to install anything else. I am actually using a 32 bit Windows XP for testing the games.
@gonutz Well that would explain it. No, the game is not compatible with Windows XP, sorry...
Nice game, even if I had to restart it like 5 times before being able to survive more than 2 seconds :D Also, had some graphical glitches when running on fullscreen at 1920x1080, so I had to play in the tiny default window.
I do not know how your every game absolutely fucking nails the klik'n'play vibe
