You are Duck Bill, an evil duckbill, mistreated by humanity, out to seek revenge by destroying earth's milk supplies. You need to complete objectives to win the game.
Interact with tiles, accumulating your wealth and strike a crushing blow against earth's milk industry. Steal milk from houses, get money by robbing banks, regenerate at hospitals, increase damage at fight club and work out by increasing your toughness at the gym.
Controls are simple:
Arrow keys - look around the map WASD - move space - interact with current tile O - see current objective M - minimap
Important Objectives that will lead you to winning the game: Get a car - there's a single car dealership on the map. Gotta look for it. Find a vaporizer base - one on a map, look for it. Destroy farms - 3 farms total. Destroy factories - 2 factories total.
A small followup / walkthrough at the beinning: you have health on top,
You walk from tile to tile to get resources (press space to interact with the tile),
for example, you have 1 health at the start. The objective says: get 5 milk. You need to go from house to house, press space and gather 5 liters of milk that way.
Then, your hp increases. Now you need to rob banks (by walking over the bank tile and pressing space, damaging the bank and eventually dropping it's hp to 0 and getting money), then restore health at the hospital. Etc, etc :)
I love the title screen and name of the game. The gameplay could use some tuning up, and the way the text wraps around is a bit confusing at first. I think I found a glitch, though. I was told I got money but I stayed at $0. Could no longer get milk, either.
Great job, had fun playing! I really liked the "level up" system, where you get stronger by gathering resources. Also, Duck Bills hat was really awesome.
Nice opening audio ^^. You should improve the milk-gaining gameplay, so that the player must not browsing brainless through the map for gaining milk. I hope you continue and make a post-compo version.
Thank you for the comments: any kind of feedback is appreciated.
@ceronman: did you get some kind of an error? Or it just did not launch?
@Atomic: destroying milk farms gives you 80+ milk, as well as policemen, who get stronger with time :) I agree that it was my slip-up though, should have documented that.
Liked the concept but found the controls too sensitive. I would often move multiple steps with a single keypress and messages didn't display long enough for me to read. Need to make things clearer at the beginning as I died immediately when I attacked a police station. Still, with a bit of work you would have a fairly interesting game.
This is probably one of my favorites. The graphics and the gameplay were quite funny. When do all the police show up though? Once that happens you're guaranteed to lose.
@SuperDisk: The policemen appear after 150 actions (movement and space presses). By that time, ideally, you have around 3 damage and close to 4 hitpoints. You can't kill them, but you can withstand one hit, so the idea was to keep avoiding them. Once you continue getting stronger from Gyms and Fight clubs - it won't be much of a problem. I do recognize now that I should have documented it better. Thanks for the kind feedback, I appreciate it.
Funny character you created. The scenario is pretty wacky. Having quests was a good idea I think. I played for some time. It could use some more sounds and music, but other than that: good game.
I thought I got the same glitch as SonnyBone, but I realized that we're both just midunderstanding the message. I thought I received 10 dollars for drinking the milk, when in fact the message is saying "now go get 10 dollars" by robbing banks. Once I realized that, the game worked great.
