Ludum Dare #25compo
Sammich-Napper
You are the lowest of the low, you get your kicks taking sammiches from the poor people, and delivering them to The Nefarious Dr. Goat. Dr. Goat is very strict, and demands all of his sammiches on time, no questions asked. Can you keep up?
The game is 10 levels long, with a special ending...
I realize it is a bit counter-intuitive to have the controls outlined in a menu that requires you to use them, sorry.
Keyboard:
Shift = Sprint
Space = Jump
WASD = Move
Arrow-Keys = Move
Xbox Controller:
Right-Trigger = Sprint
A = Jump
Left-Thumbstick = Move
I fixed the no-install version, turns out I accidentally commented out the call to the method to update the sammiches. How, I am unsure.

I pretty much agree with Fritzendugan. I don't even know how you're supposed to beat the level with 14 sammiches...
So yes, a restart button would be nice. Or restarting the level instead of going back to the main menu when you die would be nice.
Please indicate the controls of the game before the menu :) I like the slight randomization of the sounds.

The opening where you choose your level in game was very nice. The glass breaking mechanic is incredibly satisfying and thunderously awesome in every way. On the downside you missed an opportunity to have a cool "nom nom nom" sound effect for the goat, and as others have said having to wait for the level to end when you messed up was annoying. Also, you slow down when you jump while sprinting, which is weird.

I agree that a restart button is needed. I was unable to get past the level with 14 sandwiches. I thought the menu was cool. The glass breaking affect was also neat.

Great game! A restart button would have been nice but other then that good stuff!

Glass breaking is awesome! Please change your entry to a simple zip file rather then an installer, most people do not want to go through the trouble of installing a small game to judge it.

I can't seem to grab any sandwiches...

Great game. i really enjoyed it, but it needs a restart button :P

Hmm, on my Windows 7 setup I can start the game and can get to the first level, but when I touch the sammich it won't pick it up. Any ideas? I love your opening menu and the glass breaking effects by the way. Would love to try the rest.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to collect the sandwich. I touched it, I stood on the sandwich and pressed every button on the keyboard, but I cannot figure it out.

Liked the opening/menu very much! As alot of peope i couldn't get past the level where you have to collect the 14 sandwiches (the one where you start between two buildings) Retried 3 times on easy but the fact that you need to replay the whole thing destroyed my motivation. But i put it in my "replay" folder to give it another go later :)

The speed-platforming aspect is kind of cool, and there are some nice touches - the glass shattering, and the intro menu is interesting. Maybe having the controls right near the very start would've made it clearer, but I don't think that's a big worry - people should really guess the arrow keys :)

I liked your idea, the menu and the glass shattering effects. Too bad you have to restart the entire game if you make a mistake, it's frustrating.








The concept is cool. Something to switch up the levels a little more, like bouncy platforms, or power-ups, something simple would've been cool. Clever use of the theme, and I liked the main menu a lot. Music would've been a nice addition. Also, I hate the fact that I have to install a bunch of stuff just to play the game, a stand-alone zip would've been better or better yet some kind of web application. Overall, if it would've been more clear how I can just restart a level, this would've been a good entry.
