ON THE RUN (made in 48 hours - Ludum Dare 25)
======================================================
You just robbed a bank but your buddy with the car was
too stupid to find you. Suddenly the police appears -
and you are ON THE RUN! And your buddy with the money
just drops it in his great haste. Go collect it - ALL
of the money! And dont get busted by the police!
======================================================
Have Fun & Thank You for Playing!

/EDIT: I tried to fix the starting issues (with the
help of webglhelper.js). I updated the Files.

~TROUBLESHOOTING~

CHECK if your Browser supports WebGL
http://get.webgl.org/

INTERNET EXPLORER 10
- well, It's Complicated. The IEWebGL Plugin ( http://iewebgl.com/Download.aspx )
may work. For me it was very slow and unplayable. :(

FIREFOX 17.0.1
- about:config
webgl.force-enabled = true

CHROME 23
- locally: start "chrome.exe" -allow-file-access-from-files
to give Chrome access to the textures.

F.A.Q
------------------------------------------------------
1. To run the game just open "index.html".

2. Gamecontrols are:
"W": up
"A": left
"S": down
"D": right
"SPACE": restart

3. I bet you cant get all dat money! :-)

4. Technical Stuff:
- just had "simple quad with texture renderer" - framework ready
and wrote rest of engine in contest - excuse me for bad
performance(!) - it needs some work...
- used photoshop and paint.net for textures
- sfxr for sounds

5. I want to make a Developers' Cut Edition with great performance,
fair gameplay (... fair hitboxes ^_^ ...), a nice intro and
music would be cool ... stay tuned ;)

Nice entry, it's quite hard to follow the crime-mate, but just staying away from the police was fun.

Press a few times F5 and it will start.
There seems to be a problem with loading..

Web version doesn't work with IE10 (Win7 Preview) due to "document.body" being null.

Nice idea, reminds me of Grand Theft Auto (I wonder if there are more GTA like games in the compo...) But reducing collision boxes would make it more fun, probably! Cops catch you when they seem to be still not touching you! :D

It's almost impossible to evade cops.
Would be nice to have some kind of intro.
chocobyteauthor17 Dec 2012, 17:11
@Luis Anton you are right, the hitboxes are not that fair..
@dvdking Yes it is hard. But it has also a strategic element - I guarantee it is possible to collect all the 1,5k money and get away :) I wanted to do an intro but ran out of time (and was very tired at the end ^^)

Had problems getting it to work with Firefox, but worked with Chrome.

It won't render for me :(

Rather liked the game. Very simple to grasp & get going. Was fun, and had a good challenge to it. Would be nice if it had some music :)

Hmm, I have webGl but it says it can't find it...
chocobyteauthor18 Dec 2012, 19:38
I just released a fix which will hopefully remove the starting problems.. @agmcleod, I want to make a Developers' cut edition with cool music but I unfortunately have little to nada experience with making cool music ;(

Didnt get far :(
chocobyteauthor18 Dec 2012, 20:21
I really should mention that it is easier to win the game if you use the "strafe"-technique to run faster - press up or down and left/right together - walk diagonally to run faster :o

A heist and backstabbing-simulator! Love the story-touch :)

Web version doesn't work.
Chrome console says: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null

Ubuntu 12.10 Chrome 23.0.1271.95
chocobyteauthor18 Dec 2012, 23:31
Hey, this is weird. I just ran Ubuntu 12.10 Chrome 23.0.1271.97 on a virtual machine and I cant reproduce your error..
pillbrain18 Dec 2012, 23:32
I enjoyed it, was very hard to do much though, I think perhaps the collision detection with the police should be a little tighter (they kept arresting me when we were not touching). Overall though really good.
chocobyteauthor18 Dec 2012, 23:37
Thanks man:)
bigbadwofl19 Dec 2012, 05:32
Very cute-hardcore little game. Well done!
Per19 Dec 2012, 11:57
Works just fine.
I like the graphics :)

Good job. Except it is really hard to follow the buddy.
Gareth Jenkins27 Dec 2012, 10:37
No idea what I'm doing, but felt compelled to move around and not get nicked. Good stuff.
refreshcreations30 Dec 2012, 01:39
Not bad, although I got frustrated when I found the boundaries of the level to appear to have exits which I couldn't pass through and ended up being caught! Collision boxes seemed a bit on the huge side for the resolution available. Upping the screen space would probably compensate for this in a minch imho. Some fitting graphics in here. Reminds me a lot of ye olde GTA.

Whoa, this game is really hard! Balance the challenge a bit and it'd be a blast!
