LD18 — Enemies as Weapons

OrbIt by Nugsy 2010-08-24T04:47:00

@sfernald I used BlitzMax (http://www.blitzbasic.com/Products/blitzmax.php). On second thought, i probably should have put that in the readme!

@madpew Thankyou! :D

@localcoder I wanted to add a particle system, for explosions etc. But as i did the entire thing in one day i didn't really have time. In the future i'll probably release a post-compo build with a particle system, more orbs and possibly online highscores.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! :)

I don't know why the first sentence looks like this lol.

OrbIt by Nugsy 2010-08-24T04:48:00

Oh great, so the comment didn't even do what i wanted it to do that time. Haha, trolled by the comment formatting!

OrbIt by Nugsy 2010-08-25T11:22:00

@Jonathan I originally intended to have more orb types. Some would have been faster, others would have been larger and moved slower!

@Hempuli Thankyou! I wanted to make it more difficult, but just didn't have the time! :(

Again, thanks for the feeback folks!

OrbIt by Nugsy 2010-08-26T09:08:00

Another thought i had today.
@Jonathan If you are avoiding the orbs, you arent grabbing and firing them, so you aren't going to get a very high score! :)

LD19 — Discovery

Thanks for the kinds words everyone. I'm glad you like it! :D

(The catalog of creatures was also planned!)

Thanks again guys!

Kory, what error are you getting?

LD20 — It's Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This!

@Nate Thankyou! I wasn't originally going to enter as i didn't have any good ideas, then i had this one haha. Of the games i have made for LD i'd say that this is my favourite, even though it took the least amount of time.

@ladron Thanks! I was very happy with the effect, so i'm glad someone else likes it! I did try to make it challenging, seeing as it's only a short game. Which part did you get stuck at in particular?

@erik There is one jump in the game that is blind, which is near the start.
Other jumps are visible from either standing at the very edge of a block, or at one point remembering where the block is from earlier in the game. Thanks for the comment! :)

@Dark Ace Jack - It is a bit of a dodgy jump haha. Thanks for the comment!

@ryantouk - Putty haha. There are checkpoints in the game, but they need moving around desperately. I should maybe add a few more too. The language is BlitzMax. Thankyou for the comment!

@shiftingParadigms - I did try to make it challenging, but judging by everyones comments it's too difficult! I might make a post compo version with revised checkpoints at some point in the future. Again, thankyou for your comment!

Thankyou for the comment! :)
The reason i used both A and D for jump is because i know that some people like to use their middle finger for jumping, while others prefer using their index finger.
