LD18 — Enemies as Weapons

Graviton by someone 2010-08-31T12:20:00

Simple, efficient, and well-done :)

I like the idea !

But there still is some annoying things :

- I have an AZERTY keyboard, and my wrists hurt now, since it's either a garbled wsad or arrow keys and good luck hitting e :3
- I can't really see where my blocks are falling, which caused a pileup on the house and that's all.

I'll retry later with a QWERTY.

I know... But until a friend of mine tried to beta-test it, I thought Curses was portable. Dumb mistake.

Sam Rodgers > Thanks, but I'm already working on it. It should be up (intermittently) soon, by telnet, once I get it to run properly.

The theme is about the pills. Instead of taking them and being dumbed down, you can put them to better use (but not every path have this option). I know it's loose, but I sort of lost focus when writing the story...

All the endings are determined on the beach, not before. Branching earlier would have been too long to make...

And sorry about the telnet server, but I'm not gonna be able to make it, I'm behind schedule at work :/

I like it !

Like others said, ennemies = ammo = health is a great idea. Maybe add some way to dodge the ennemy shots (make them curb, change the speed, shrink the heads...) ?

Otherwise, the audio is good, and the background is lovely :)

Small, but fun and well polished. Well done !

It works now :)
