This is difficult. I agree with caranha above that the enemies need to despawn or something to gain more control. But the planets and music are soothing... with a little something extra (not sure what) it could have been almost meditative.
It's funny because it's true.
Very cool. Weird that I can't vote yet. Will have to remember to come back and do it later.
I love ASCII games! This reminded me of old shareware games and, of course, the Daleks game. It's certainly unconventional in this day and age to have the bad guys kill themselves by running into things you lure them to.
Link?
Stream of consciousness thoughts: So. Much. Garbage. Hard to dodge it all, but that's what makes it challenging. Definitely fits the theme, graphics are pretty good (more could be done with the dolphin, I think, both with the swimming and indicating that your stomach is full. Somewhat short.
Love love love the graphics and the concept. Trying to play got me stuck a lot though. First was how to find out where the enemy was to make the war chalk, then literally stuck as keys frequently wouldn't take me down the stairs. With some work this could be really unique.
Very short, and it was a little difficult to figure how to progress even when you were doing the right things, but this has a lot of charm. The graphics were particularly awesome for something put together so quickly. Would love to see what this becomes over time.
Awesome music, good graphics and effects. Very short game, though.
Odd that when a gorilla jumps on some guy's head the gorilla explodes in a shower of blood.
Ebola. Must have been ebola.
Great graphics. Interesting theme. Bit brutal in the difficulty just starting out.
With some work could be a good puzzle game. Would help if you took out a lot of the delay in actually making moves. SPend most of game waiting.
@peejaygee: Enemy and wall placement is procedurally generated. The code tries to make things more difficult as time goes on, but sometimes bad luck will get you early on.
I like this one. The game is simple but effective. The puffer fish is fun and funny. My only real complaints are that the collision detection seems a bit too unforgiving and the total mass of jellyfish seems at times impossible to avoid. Some tweaking would make this shine.
This is where simple helps you - great effort all around! First compo game I've seen that looks like a real game.
The bubbles are mostly to add to the look, but if you hit one your own shooting is delayed a little. So a tad bit of gameplay involved...
Interesting implementation, but using the same keys to jump and not jump is slaving to the theme and not real wise. Also, black and brown and small is not good for a character.
Can't get it to do anything?
Cool. Worth working on now that the compo is over.
Cool! First time through I thought the map was a like a game map choosing where I go. Died a couple times and figured it out though. Like the change in items and the unpredictability. Got as far as Persia on, like, fourth try.
