I can't run your game, try hosting a zip with the working .exe and dependencies on google drive or dropbox or something similar.
In my case the game wouldn't run because "libstdc++-6.dll" and "libgcc something" were missing.
It definitely runs now on windows for me.
I was sort of overwhelmed at first because I always had to check back here for the controls and items that I needed, but it worked out in the end.
Awesome game, although I assume the greater emphasis lies in the technical side with the engine that you programmed for this?
Overall a fun experience, although I find it to be very hard to play even against one opponent. The movement seems a bit floaty and the humans seemingly never run out of ammo :D. Great concept, great game.
Can you maybe change the keybindings to something more compatible with different keyboard layouts?
the "QWERTZ" keyboard for example has the "Z" at the top and the "X" at the bottom, making it pretty difficult to use those keys simultaneously.
The game is absolutely hilarious, and the title too. But it seems a little lacking and you can go off the map at certain places.
The title seems sort of like a spinoff of "Arkanoid" the old brick breaker game. I liked the jumping mechanic although it was kind of hard to get around at times.
I didn't get why I was loosing at first, then I realized that I needed to get reach a certain score before completing which is sort of odd I suppose. Music was cool although the sliders in the options menu didn't do anything, the art seemed a little stretched and the mechanics weren't all to fleshed out. I liked the robot's animation though.
Sort of confusing, and pretty difficult to not go extinct in a few seconds. Needs some balancing or a proper tutorial. Other than that, this could be an awesome game.
I didn't really get the gameplay. It wasn't all that responsive, but great work for two days.
Hilarious.
Does this game even have an ending? I went through 15 levels and I just get messages like "don't give up" or "I can almost smell the air" or something.
Solid game though.
Theme didn't fit too well, but that wasn't a requirement and I see that that was intended. Awesome game.
Awesome game! I really like the menu animation.
I just wanted to point out that at one point the worm split into two, so I was essentially controlling two characters. Also, once I finished the screen started vibrating and nothing else happened.
Why is this 80MB? There's just one room with 8 bit style graphics, one sound for jumping, one song, and a few sprites. I see that the player_win_x86.pdb for windows takes up some 100MB when unzipped.
I'd love to know why the file size is so large. Have I missed something?
I loved the game, I just didn't like that I wasn't able to turn when I was using my sword
I get an error when I press the up and down buttons in the help menu.
Why am I a rabbit?
Fun game though, could use a tutorial or some general guidelines.
Cool particle engine.
Awesome game! I got like 30000 points and my heart was racing, the pointer thingy was going really fast and the lights were all over the place. Also, the music worked with the whole game flawlessly.
One of the best submissions this LD for sure.
calming music accompanying the gruesome murder of children. Classic
Great music, I thought the meteors were a little too chaotic though (even if there was a pattern).
The graphics are solid, the mechanics too, I think the shop is a little overkill for this type of game, maybe the upgrades should be added automatically? Overall a solid experience even if left movement didn't work for me.
After further testing I found that the game wouldn't start up a second time. It keeps crashing after I start a new game.
I like how it's sort of rhythm based, it feels a lot like "Papers Please".
It's fun to figure out what you need to prioritize in order to balance the worlds health with the resources you need to leave, and that also works itself into the theme you were building up.
Fun game, would have been cool if there wasn't only one level and maybe some more features.
It did seem a little redundant though to have the ability to eat people from the shadows if you could just attack someone and gain full health after killing them.
Awesome submission, needs a little work.
It says "Use your controller", but controller support is somewhat bugged in the release that I played.
Other than that the game is great! I like how the player sort of bounces in his animation.
Also, nice music.
Do you get any visual feedback when you push one of the buttons? Because, I can't tell if I'm actually making anything happen by pressing "Q", "W", "E" and "R".
Very nice atmosphere and music!
@RobotHoboDanceParty Level 3 was actually literally random, I put some walls down to make a general outline and generated noise in the player path for whatever reason.
@Jimbly that was (sort of) intentional. The dark floors add an extra challenge (is how I reasoned with myself when I saw them in-game and didn't want to change them anymore).
@MAnimal I fixed the game in order to keep the player on the same level after death. The game should be easily beatable now.
@mrjorts Sorry about that :/
should be fixed now though.
@KingGames That's odd, I have no idea what could have caused that.
@inurashii I was thinking the same thing about only that one cop having a gun, seems a little suspicious. Maybe there's a conspiracy developing here. Was that cop going to kill the player in order to hinder him from revealing harmful information? Maybe the player was framed.
About the tediousness, I found that, at least in level 1, you can speed run it and survive. I suppose level 3 would be the actual tedious bit due to it's length and difficulty.
@Grahhhhh Sorry to hear that, but it didn't really work on my laptop either, and it runs Windows natively.
@MegasDragos1 The AI isn't great at all :D the entities are basically homing missiles, but the fact that you can just run through level one without killing anything was sort of intentional.
Great game, In-game instructions would have been cool though.
It's a cool concept, but the game just becomes really difficult by level 3 or something, and the collision detection is slightly frustrating. Other than that the game is solid!
I liked that this was text based. It's the only one I've seen so far, but there are way too few options which can get quite frustrating mid-game.
I don't get it.
Played through the 21 levels. Level 20 was the most frustrating (damn low ceilings).
Awesome game. Great job at collision detection too.
I didn't make it past the exploding chickens. 10/10
Very interesting concept, I think this could make for a fun game if it were a little more fleshed out.
Fun short game!
I think it's too much of a hassle for most people to download an external program in order to run your game. Can you maybe try to make the web version work?
The levels were interesting and well laid out, but the robot was too slow for the rate of progression in my opinion. Other than that I thought the audio was appealing, although it did play multiple times at once when I died in level one I believe. Overall an interesting idea that could have used a little more care.
This game crashes before you can "win" with an error message prompting you to check out the log file.
The error boils down to:
"AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'univers'"
Other than that, this game is kind of clunky. The movement speed is very slow and I can't move diagonally and the delay for taking actions is way too long.
I found 6 endings. None of them were happy.
Great graphics (a bit too great, it was running at maybe 15 fps for me).
Great stealth game!
Fun game. It seemed that every problem was solved by throwing humans at it though.. oh well
Please give us some kind of guide. It wasn't clear what I had to have in order to buy a tombstone, it wasn't clear what I had to do really. A guide would have been very handy. Also, I found that if I scrolled, the screen would become invisible?
This one's gonna be up there
