So this is my first Ludum Dare entry. I hope you all enjoy playing it!
The inspiration for this game came from this Mitchell and Webb sketch about an evil super villain revealing his plans for world domination to a board of company investors:
You play the evil genius running the presentation... of course the people at the table will eventually become terrified of your insanely criminal plans and they try to run away.
You have to kill and maim them before they get away to tell the police. But be wary... the longer they stay at the table, the more time you have to siphon valuable money from their accounts!
(I was originally doing this for the 48 Hour Compo, but due to the use of non-original sound effects I've moved over to the jam!)
Yeah the plant pots are really OP, I'm afraid I didn't have time to balance them properly before I submitted my final version! Sorry guys!
Haha, nice idea, and very well implemented! Nice graphics. Though a little more room space would be nice.
(and extra points for picking one of my favourite Mitchell & Webb scenes. I also like the health & safety version where's he's getting the builder to put in his rotating wall :D )
I like the idea... There is a fatal flaw with the game play, plants are really OP because if you sell them and place them out again the mood increases and it doesn't cost that much thus taking away any strategy and depth in the game
Wow, pretty impressive. Original idea (well not totally original of course, but to make it into a game is very well done). I think it is a bit weird that you can't use soundeffect for the compo, but can use samples. I think you would have been allright. Or maybe you could have done the sound effects by yourself (I think its fun to do that).
Was fun to play and design the traps, but as you already said, there is some balancing respective the room costs needed. You can publish XNA games on a game jam without forcing the testers to install it as an application. I wrote a tutorial about that: http://www.stevencolling.com/index.php#howto_publish_xna_gamejam
