I don't know what's wrong but the game is not working on my windows computer. It just shows a grey screen. I tried both the .jar and the .exe versions, this is the result: Capture.PNG If this can be fixed somehow, I will surely try the game and rate!
@chaseplays I kept on clicking on the window, pressing space, etc. but nothing happened. I even reopened the game and waited atleast a minute everytime, nothing happened. My speakers don't work, so I don't know if bg music started. I will try today with headphones.
Great game! I like the concept. You should also show some score with the level, I think. Overall, well done, keep it up. :smiley:
It's confusing, I don't really understand the game mechanics.
Great game, nice idea! The simple graphics are good too. Just that the controls are a bit confusing, sometimes, the player just doesn't move the way I think it will move. Except that, I liked the game. It's fun, I think it has potential if you polish it properly. Great work, keep it up. :smiley:
Nice game! I like the concept. Except that, we are pretty helpless when there are no enemies and our planet is about to disappear. Also, as @toasty pointed out, flying enemies would make the jump feature more useful.
@pta2002, Great!
Nice take on the theme, though I found it a bit confusing.
Good idea. It took some time for me to clearly understand what the game is and how it works. The dragging mechanic also gets stuck many times. 100 will be too hard, I guess. Otherwise, good job, keep it up.
Great game! I like the graphics and effects. The gameplay is good, it gets a bit complicated after sometime though. But I like the idea, great work! Keep it up.
Okay, good game, nice idea! I completed it. I found a bug, if you repeat a winning sequence after collecting the pearls that you collected by doing that sequence than the game crashes. For eg., I did the sequence (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Christmas), then collected the pearls and then again repeated the same sequence. The game crashed. Except that, I liked the game. Good work, keep it up!
Great game, great intro! The graphics, music and sounds and most importantly the dialogues are also pretty good. I could win the first part but failed the second part. Overall, great work, keep it up!
@tegu Thanks! I put a limit on the weapon because otherwise there wouldn't be any real reason for the player to move around the island (as someone on the IRC chat pointed out).
And true, the "destroyed an enemy" notification doesn't really convey much and hide other important powerup notifs, so I will remove that.
I will add better player movement (so it doesn't get stuck) also.
Auto-fire will make it too easy I guess, as there is no limit to bullets, reloading, etc.
And, great score, btw!
@rombus Thanks, I will do that.
@jk5000 Thanks! I was going to put some background music but didn't get time.
@erdiizgi Thank you! One my friends also suggested about making and android version, so I am already thinking of it. I guess I will make one. :smiley:
@terracottafrog Thanks! I was planning to add some variety, like some healers or something but didn't find time. As @tegu suggested, what if player could move along the beach rather than getting stuck and automatically find it's way towards the mouse click? Then, the controls will remain smooth even after the island becomes very small. Auto-fire...hmm...Maybe some auto-fire powerup to give limited time auto-fire? That would be a great survival weapon.
@kristian-david Thanks! I don't know how to draw graphics, so I just drew whatever I could.
@connorses Thanks, Maybe I can make levels also? So, there will be variety of weapons, enemies, powerups, etc. And each level will come with waves, etc. Hmm.. good idea
@homineludens @querk @neurohacker Thanks!
@angiemon I made the game with SFML/C++, so unfortunately I don't have a web version.
@stoemason I did notice that the bullets aren't quite visible, I don't know why that's happening, I will improve the graphic. Yeah, that would be a good idea for smooth player movement, I will see. Thanks for your feedback!
@npizzle1 @fingamer Thanks!
@chaseplays I do plan to add variations, extra features, etc. Thank you!
@ikigaiseitetsu Good point. It will be alright after I add background music and proper menu, I guess. Thanks! Great score, btw and I will surely rate your game.
@jamesy012 Good score. I plan to add those features about upgrading island, etc. Days and Nights for waves is also a nice idea. Thanks!
@alex-lutay Haha, Thanks. Good score, given that you were playing with a laptop touchpad.
@sagarpatel25700 Thanks! I plan to make the spawn rate better by preparing proper waves, etc.
@jk5000 Thanks, I will surely rate your game, too.
@szczebel1995 Thank you!
@lilroo Thanks!
@samusoidal @simple-blue Thank you!
@thebluegamer55 Thanks! I am working on better player movement
@megalink Thanks! I learned the SFML library using their own tutorials, documentation and GameFromScratch tutorials. I also used the SFML Game Development Packt book. Game development using C++ and SFML is simple actually, not as complicated as engines. It just needs efforts. If we also enjoy the process of learning and making games, then it's a whole lot easier. Why don't we connect on Twitter or something? Twitter: @anay_karnik
Good game, nice graphics! It gets too hard after 40 though, 41 is all I could reach :P. Collisions are a bit counter-intuitive, as @matoux42 pointed out, but overall great work. Keep it up!
Too simple, I won easily. I think there are too little features, you should add some more. But anyway, good work, keep it up.
Good idea! Though, the controls and physics are not that good. It's too hard to get the fuel. Good try, hope you learned something from it.
Great game! The idea is nice, something different. The game gets a bit confusing- who are friends and who are enemies but I guess that's how its supposed to work. I like the graphics also. Overall, good work, keep it up!
Cool game, graphics are fun too. Though, scores really should have been there. Check out mine: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/island-guard
