bluescrn's attempt at a little 48hr FPS. Not really 100% finished, but fairly playable An island with black smokey monsters... surely nobody's done that before? :) Controls Mouse - Look/Turn WASD or arrowkeys - Move/strafe Left Mouse - Shoot Right Mouse - Jump Esc - Quit F1 - Toggle Fullscreen Requires DX9, with a Shader 2.0 card or above. It's very inefficient, excessive amounts of draw calls, so may need a fairly quick PC! I apologise in advance for those that have to hunt around for the right D3DX lib!
Very cool game. The black smoke monster idea is really good and they look really nice. I like the smooth controls and it feels well polished. Your games continue to inspire me since the first time I participated in a LD.
The smoke monster looked awesome, especially when you're close up to its face. Due to my card it ran rather jerky, sometimes fluid, sometimes slow. A bit less blur would be nice, it looks like playing without glasses on :)
A radar thing would be nice. On my first play I spotted a worm in the distance and suddenly fell down dead from one of the beasts sneaking up behind me.
So great!!! It is a bit easy, because of the very high jumping power and the fact that the creatures only move on land. Controls were pretty good, and the swimming mechanic was great too. Sounds are a bit tedious, and would be much more intense if there were limited ammo (or you had to make pickups).
Loved the graphics, simply gorgeous. The monsters are very sweet.
Neat. Okay, on with the by the numbers commentary. The good - graphics like wow. This game was gorgeous. Where the islands randomly generated? There's no source, so I have no idea. The bad - simple gameplay, frequently got killed from behind by enemies that didnt seem to exist a second ago. The Ugly - nope, it was pretty. Sound was minimal, but what was there worked.
Very shiny. The game itself is simple, and pretty easy. I played until level 9 before I started wondering what actually happens if the black things touch me. So then I walked right into one and died. I like the screen border. Makes it seem like I'm in a submarine or a mech. Adds to the feeling of being hunted, when you kinda feel even more so like you can't really see around you at all times. Obviously you wouldn't even without the border, but the border enhances the feeling. Again, very shiny.
This turned out great! I thourghly enjoyed it. pesky things snuck up on me when i finally got all 6 digits out of 0. :( All in all a very good game though, congratulations.
Stopped playing at wave 12! I really liked it, the monsters creeped me out the first time they hit me. The only thing that bothered me was that I could hear the shots hitting the monsters far far away. Other than that, the game felt very well polished and professional.

This is pretty cool, actually.
