UPDATE: My game didn't work for the most people here, thank you very much for letting me now!
I originally made game in MonoGame which seems to be the source of all the failures, today I just rebuilt the game in XNA (Source code is the same) and it seems to be working!

If it won't work for someone please let me know as soon as possible on my twitter @kulhajs ;)

Hi guys!

I finally finished my first LudumDare main event!
Game doesn't contains all features I expected, but that's only because I switched to MonoGame from XNA few days ago and it quite doesn't support everything.

Anyway, in my game you're poacher and you have to kill all goats on farms! You start with your bare hands but later you can buy some weapons in local gunshop.

Controls:
- Arrow keys: move
- Space: attack, enter/leave shop

This is weird, works for me OK, going to try to rebuild and reupload

Need to package openal32.dll with the game!

System.DllNotFoundException

Working on fix as hard as I can! Converted the game to pure XNA, now it appears it works only for people with XNA installed even it's made in monogame and should include everything needed really. I'll upload tested version as soon as possible! Thanks for letting me know guys!

kulhajsauthor17 Dec 2012, 12:14

OK, new version uploaded, I'm so sorry guys I didn't test it on more computer before uploading :( At least I learned something new I should do every time!

I can't run this game.

Goats! Fun game, cool design :)

I could open the game but after a while it crashed when i was being attacked. But i could still play and feel the game. A nice first entry, quite enjoyable. I did like playing it. Hope to see more from you on next lds

Kinda confusing at first. An in-game tutorial would be nice, and menu and things. I swear you move far too slowly. Pretty nice though

Mythalore18 Dec 2012, 21:38

I like the graphics but the gameplay is a bit obscure.

i had a hard time killing the sheep without dying almost right away from the bullets. it would be nice if your guy was faster/more agile

kulhajsauthor20 Dec 2012, 10:06

mcc I agree it's really hard to kill and collect them all but it is possible!

Sorry I can't rate, I don't have windows.

This game was rather interesting. I understand 48 hours is 48 hours, and with XNA it can get kinda hard due to the fact it is a lot of just programming. I like the idea of this game. It was bit of a challenge.
