A jam entry made with CraftStudio by 10 people for Ludum Dare #25.

Got no windows, thus no rating, but nice to see someone picking up the old beach/bitch joke.

I felt weird when shooting at those poor guys lying on the sand.

Anyway, that was very well polished !

Playable shooter. Atmospheric music.

Eliséeauthor18 Dec 2012, 08:07

Thanks for the comments :)

ananasblau: there's a Mac build too!

Who needs a cannon when you have a minigun? :p
Congratulations.

Bummer! i can't seem to be able to play, it crashes when i execute the .exe, have no clue why, second game this happens :( Looks neat tho!

Cthu18 Dec 2012, 15:15

CoD MW6! Really love the idea, great game!

Blodyavenger18 Dec 2012, 21:07

One of the best games so far in my opinion. Catchy music, sound effects, nice animated graphics, lots of fun shooting with cannon at the ships and the using machine gun to clear the rest? - Polished and perfect game. Well done :)

Eliséeauthor18 Dec 2012, 22:43

BlockBrains: have you checked the requirements (aka having the XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 installed)?

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Well done, CraftStudio people, well done. Very pretty, as always

Nice and polished. Had a lot of fun being evil, thanks for that.

HeXoT19 Dec 2012, 12:03

I don't know why but this game remembered me the ones I played during my childhoold :|

jerrre19 Dec 2012, 12:10

Could not get it to run on OSX and the framework is for windows only is it not?

caribou19 Dec 2012, 12:17

Simple & polished !

Eliséeauthor19 Dec 2012, 12:21

jerrre: yes, I forgot to mention you'll need the Mono runtime on Mac. Here's the link: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.10/macos-10-x86//MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.10.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg

(Updated the entry with the link & info for Mac requirements)

Incredible polish and simple-yet-fun gameplay.

Elisee! My friend, another awesome craftstudio game :) Really fun and funny, you guys always got some crazy ideas :P

Great aesthetics, nice and clean. Music was also fitting. I had a lot of fun shooting down those beach bums! It did felt a little easy after a while, still fun mowing them down!

BrothersT22 Dec 2012, 02:11

Absolutely brilliant. These tourists should really learn to stop coming here. This was really fun. Not a big fan of the minecraft style characters, but I understand people choosing that particular route with such a short time frame.

I can see a lot of love went into this. It's fantastic. Hard to play on a touchpad however.

Freakill31 Dec 2012, 10:40

Amazing Jam entry! I really liked the mood of the game! Graphics are fancy and sound is really good. When firing the canon it reminded me a little bit the minigame from Monkey island 3 when Gybrush had to shoot the ships full of skeleton pirates! Really cool! :D
