This is fantastic. Loved the idea, graphics, and sound. My only complaint is that it can be hard to inspect moving enemies, and the controls are a bit confusing.
We had a list of games made with HaxePunk on the HaxePunk forum, but you got missed somehow, so I added you. http://forum.haxepunk.com/index.php?topic=735.0
This is awesome. It's based around a real world issue which gives it the impact of a "serious game", but it's still incredibly fun, entertaining, and humorous. Great way to make a point. Nice aesthetic as well. Fantastic job. I'm going to be sharing this with some of my marine ecologist friends :)
Just one more comment, I think the prices should be much higher to reflect the actual spending of your government on shark culling! Maybe every round you can get +N million dollars from taxes or something. Just to make things a little more absurd.

(I think it happened when I lost all my health.) Also, my character seems to always face left when I'm not moving, but the sword is held out to the right.
It looks cool, but unfortunately the page isn't loading for me.
I ran out of ammo and had to run into a room with like 6 aliens in it to get a key card. Really great job. Impressive how many different mechanics (destructible environment, oxygen, ammo, fire...) you were able to work in.
Great job! Love the music and the graphics look great. For some reason I was unable to play on Chrome, but it worked just fine on Firefox. I was also only able to pull about 30 FPS.
We had a list of LD29 games made with HaxePunk (http://forum.haxepunk.com/index.php?topic=735.0) on the HaxePunk forum, and yours wasn't on it, so I'll go ahead and throw it on there. Great work!
Hide-n-Stab was made using the Haxe programming language and OpenFL with the HaxePunk game engine. Graphics were done using Inkscape and Spine for animation. Whew! I need a nap, but I'll post more of a technical writeup later :)
Thanks everyone. At the moment, if there are no other players, there's not much to do - if you don't see any, see if you can draft a friend into playing with you to get the full experience. I'd wanted to add some bots for when no players are online, but that's something I couldn't get to in 48 hours. I'm also going to work on mitigating the lag. It plays pretty smoothly on my desktop, but my laptop seems to stutter a bit more.
I made a small bug fix and the lag is now greatly reduced on my laptop (which has a really terrible network card) so hopefully people will have fewer problems from now on.
Really great idea, very intuitive controls and nice clean aesthetic. I had a lot of fun playing.
Fantastic. You got the Slender Man mood down perfectly.
Yes - once you have enough ants, the next one will appear. It doesn't take long.
Just in case it's not clear, the colors indicate whether something is increasing or decreasing - green is increasing and red is decreasing, and the brighter the color the faster they're changing.
Great idea! Very challenging.
Great job, love the music!
Cool idea, very fun! Seems like it would make a great mobile game.
The hitboxes on those spikes :(
Fun concept and looks great! I discovered that turning and going up to the ceiling worked pretty well, the AIs would basically kill themselves off without me.
Sword is not broken, but I don't want to spoil what you have to do to use it :)
Loved the idea, had a ton of fun playing through twice! Auto-typing text could use some polish.
Nice! Love this type of resource allocation game. Music is fantastic, nice consistent visual theme. Like the real thing, I found that eating well was the key to success.
Fun game. Could've used more tower types and some visual/sound effects when things get hit or die.
Love the art style. Very creative idea.
I loved this, fantastic work. You really nailed the Mega Man inspired soundtrack, and the levels were incredibly well designed given the time constraint. I planned to see it through to the end, but unfortunately I died a few times on Stage 3 and instead of reloading, I got a black screen.
Well done - great graphics and music and very polished. (Did you opt out of the Audio category? I loved the music and thought it was really fitting.)
Cute art style and fitting music. Good work!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Yes it's a multiplayer game, so no it's not very fun on your own - if there's no one online grab a friend :)
@ddrkirbyisq this is a completely valid way to enjoy the game :grin:
If you log in and there are two other players online, it might be me in two tabs trying to bait you over to my giant spider.
Love the idea! Very unique. Would love to see it further developed.
This was fun! Simple concept with surprising complexity. Great job on the retro graphics as well.
This is one of my favorites so far. Love the idea, and the graphics are great. Picking responses while driving was a little hectic so I'd usually just mash a random one. Great job!
Nicely done. Hilarious concept.
