First attempt: Did not understand anything. Second attempt: Read the instructions, overshot many targets. Third attempt: Decided that the maximum velocity was many times higher than the "maximum steerable velocity" and won. Too bad there's only one level.
I didn't read the objective before I started, but won by accident anyway. I had a good laugh.
@mildmojo: Thanks. I've created a version with the proposed fix.
I've also rearranged some WebGL code in the hope of improving the frame rate on some computers. Note that my computer from 2006 runs this game at 60 fps flat in Chromium.
@gnx: The darkening means you are taking hits (losing health). It does indeed fade into a game over screen if you take too many hits.
@mildmojo: I accidentally deleted the fix when I struggled with some CloudFlare caching issue.
The bullets are actually gravitating towards the player, not a planet. Hard to notice, I know. :) Also, their velocities are clamped, so that they are more likely to converge and not end up in an infinite orbit. Consider them heat-seeking missiles, if you like.
As you said, you forked this game: http://www.jeux.mu/de-aventure/jormungand.html
This violates rule #2: All game code and content must be created within the 48 hours.
@jim3wg: Base code is not considered game code, and is allowed if it's made available to the community before the competition.
When you decided to submit the game as a 48 hour compo entry instead of jam entry, you also ticked a box saying "I worked solo, created all my code and assets in 48 hours, and have included source".
I didn't get past the second cannon in 20 attempts.
It looked like a fun game, but alas, my projectiles were super slow and didn't seem to affect the baddies.
I loved the mechanism for choosing your avatar name. Did not understand how to win. Seemed like the winning strategy was to never let go of the key.
@AnnoMundi Thanks for pointing this out! It was a pretty stupid bug: https://github.com/mortehu/ludum-dare-24/commit/62356e7bcfefa38b3dd7f1e41a58f666bcafd263
@evilseanbot Yep, I'm using (very cheap) shared hosting, so it happens from time to time that another customer overloads or crashes the computer. CloudFlare hides that only to some extent.
It doesn't seem like the Kongregate version is Flash? http://m.bitraf.no/~mortehu/skrot/cellception-kongregate.png
Good job on providing a simple mechanism for effecting evolution.
Can't play: Page does not load in Chromium. This is the HTML document I get if I fetch the page using curl: http://pastebin.com/rTgZ7G0k
I didn't think to use the Network Debugger. It's the .js files that are slow to load: some take 15 seconds, others time out.
You should probably move the instructions to the top of this page, in case people don't read the comments before they play.
Contrary to your description, this game does not seem to require WebGL. I noticed, because this worked on my old laptop. :)
If you added some animations, this would have a better feel to it.
This was fun, and I played it until I found an unbeatable strategy, involving shooting the buildings I was supposed to defend.
