I can't seem to chose a disk, It just exits the game, how can I play?

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 09:31

@missalpha Did it exit when you pressed Enter?

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 09:36

@missalpha Try reinstalling DirectX maybe: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35&84e4d527-1a2f-c70a-8906-a877ec4baada=1

I have no idea who you are, @falk-bruskeland but i really enjoyed the game! It was a bit hard though :^(. BUT THE BAZOOKA THING LOOKS REALLY FRICCIN COOL MATE.

Good job. The game has a charming look and presentation. It would help the game a lot if you would incentivise the player to move more.

vivek-sharma20 2018-08-13 10:06

Good job on completing the game. Game is simple and repetitive. Consider putting out a browser version will make it easy for people to try it out. Love the graphics. Does it matches the theme ,.... I wonder...

thechubbypanda 2018-08-13 11:03

Great game! Music is a bit harsh on the ears though...

rainysolar 2018-08-13 11:06

Using a grenade launcher and 'delete' myself. 5/5 :laughing:

frontlinesaint 2018-08-13 11:13

haha good fun

wekaj 2018-08-13 11:27

Nice work! The art style was cool, and I like how you used the computer account name in the intro. I do admit I thought it was a strange coincidence for a few seconds...

teekeks 2018-08-13 11:29

No idea how I select Drive D but anyway a nice game!

boltkey 2018-08-13 11:30

The gameplay is not very innovative or fun, gets very repetitive after a while.

I got negative space on my disk - I guess I won?

connorthompson 2018-08-13 11:33

Awesome game well executed! has a nice Super crate box feel to it :)

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 11:36

@connorthompson Yes, I found half way through the game that it was pretty similar to Super crate box. @wekaj Haha

connorthompson 2018-08-13 11:38

@falk-bruskeland thats a good thing the game has a great feel to it. Congrats!

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 11:51

@teekeks Use the arrow keys to choose which drive!

tontonpizza 2018-08-13 12:23

Really cool game here, i love the narrative. But once you find a good spot, you juste have to spam the bullets and you can't die (unless you buy the bazooka)

gamepopper 2018-08-13 12:25

Well polished game, reminds me of Super Crate Box. Graphics are simple yet distinct and there is a good amount of upgrades.

anaglyphcoding 2018-08-13 12:25

"Woah that's my name :o" - me reading the start screen

a neat little game, I think it would benefit from some extra features such as combos for killing multiple enemies at once, weapon upgrades, different enemy types etc. to keep it less repetitive. Overall a fun game though!

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 12:29

@tontonpizza Yeah, that's one of the problems with the game. It was way worse, but it's still there. @gamepopper @anaglyphcoding Thanks for the feedback!

gamejmunk 2018-08-13 12:32

Very nice graphics and sound, (+ innovation is good too). But the controls were in my opinion a little lame.

teo-miklethun 2018-08-13 12:38

Awesome game! I love the screen shake and the other little things that make it just feel good!

team-on 2018-08-13 12:43

Quess that mc is 'rm - rf /', cuz only it can suicide)

hakro 2018-08-13 12:48

Nice idea. The design and animations are really cute. Well done.

call-me-nutty 2018-08-13 12:49

Very well polished game. The movement, the UI, the artstyle it all was very clean. The game had some really nice visual effects (rocket launcher) and some great weapon variety (ROCKET LAUNCHER AHAHAHA). I found the first round quite difficult and the following ones easier, so I think the pacing needs to be reworked a bit. The music didn't really get me into the game either, I think it was a bit too dull (the audio one not the "boring" one) and not upbeat enough. Otherwise, had a some fun playing this one. Also congrats on early 20 votes.

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 12:53

@call-me-nutty Thanks, enjoyed your game too <3

pomb 2018-08-13 13:09

It's like a slow super crate box, without the crates. I wanted to shoot faster :D There lots of enemies that aren't very 'intelligent' so the slowness of the shooting felt strange, when normally you have fast attack speeds on hordes of enemies and slower more tactical attack times in games that require more considered combat.

eric-kulbiej 2018-08-13 13:12

Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!

winnie33 2018-08-13 13:12

Wow, such a polished and visually appealing game! Animations and art are absolutely on point.

Was a bit surprised when it showed my name, and even more so if I could choose to play on my C: or D: drive. And hell, even the storage filled was about the same as on my own PC. I hope this is all coincidence and you didn't actually fetch those values and implemented a menu for people with multiple drives :)

Overall one of the best games I've played so far. Heaps of fun and once again, looks awesome!

ytaha 2018-08-13 13:33

I can honestly say its really fun. So well polished. Now gkm has -250GB/1000GB of storage. And the rocket launcher is OP :smile:

randdir 2018-08-13 14:17

Really nice, also like rocket launcher by the way. Graphics are pretty cool too. Just keep it in that direction you'll find something useful for sure :) !

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-13 15:49

@pomb I'll take it into consideration if I'm gonna expand upon the game! @eric-kulbiej Thx @winnie33 Thank you <3 The game actually uses your username to name the character you're playing, everything else is a coincidence. I promise I ain't spying on you :PPP @ytaha Thanks @randdir Thanks

crastinator 2018-08-13 20:09

What a fun game! My name's also Eugene so it feels way more personal and satisfying being able to wield that bazooka around. The control feels especially good.

Btw with headphones on sipping coffee, that sound the first purchasable weapon makes hitting the walls is one of the most horrific sounds I've ever heard :D

jon-nova 2018-08-14 01:10

Nice game!!! becomes a bit repetitive when you understand the game... but it's still a nice game!!!

falk-bruskeland 2018-08-14 13:31

@crastinator Thanks for the praise! I actually use your username to name the character :p @jon-nova I'll fix that if I'll ever make a sequel

awix 2018-08-15 07:41

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

paulhocker 2018-08-16 03:07

great game - love the crate box feel - a few more types of enemies would have been nice - thanks for making it

anstabo 2018-08-16 18:04

Fun little game, I really like the way the level names are C: and D:, the jump animation is a little weird at first now i kinda love it, it adds something definitely. You should tune down the SFX a bit, it's way too loud for me. And maybe rework the IA because it just falls to it's death. Cool entry for only one man.

ethan-allwood 2018-08-21 13:58

Fun game and looks nice! Like super crate box but without the crate box part, which I guess just makes this game super? Nice entry!

watdowtal 2018-08-21 15:12

Agree with @ethan-allwood , this game is a lot like SCB. Good work!

kr4ft3r 2018-08-21 15:34

Hey what the hell, this game is about me :D Update: oh ok, I just read in comments it takes your itch username, very inventive. Two things make this game stand out from the start, it wasn't made in a game engine, and audio doesn't blow up my speakers when they're at default volume. The game idea is alright but only story and graphics have to do with the theme. Adorable graphics btw.

ratherjolly 2018-09-01 02:24

Oh man! You totally got me with inserting the user name in the intro xD This was an extraordinarily polished game Chock full of audio/visual cues! Brilliant job on this! I really enjoyed it :)

2018-09-12 18:59

Cute game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/RBBzpxy2bdA
