-STORY- You are being attacked by strange pixely things! Being the ravishing minimalist you are, you grab your shield! And so you head onwards, to victory!
-MUSIC- It's not perfect, but I did spent some time on it. This is the first time I have ever made music. so please tell me how I can improve on that aspect. I would also ask of you how I could improve my art, but that is a lost cause by now.
-THINGS NOT MENTIONED INGAME- -You regenerate health every 10,000 points! -You stop regenerating at about 110,000 points or so. -The background IS your health bar. -You can pause with the P button! -There is a semi-easter egg for getting 50,000 points -Holding left click will lock the shield!
-PLATFORMS- -Windows: 9MB, Everything comes packed neatly in the windows version. Just run 'run.bat' and it should work. -Linux: 7MB, if Love2D is not installed, then run quickInstallLove.sh before running the game. -Mac: 18MB, I don't have a mac, but I assume everything is there. -Source: 7MB, The source .love is just a renamed .zip, make sure to install Love2d, otherwise you can't run it.
-JLLE- This is the first game I have made with JLLE, Jello's Lua Love2D Engine. It is still in development so don't use it. -MORE INFO- This game was made in 48 hours, with Lua Love2D. There is some commented-out code in main.lua and JLLE/Sys/Update.lua that allows for fullscreen play. Don't do it, it looks crappy. Amazingly, no alcohol was involved in the making of this. I took frequent breaks listening to ERB and dummeh. You can get Love2d at http://www.love2d.org/
Since everything is pointed with a rainbow of colors, it can be hard to notice the bullets and spikes coming at you. Otherwise, good controls, and the music was fun!
Definitely a good job on the music for your first time composing stuff. I played until the potato! The instructions in the beginning roll by a little too fast for me.
P.S. Your windows and mac builds could be improved. Tweet me if you'd like details. :)
Did you update this? My session didn't look like your screenshots. Fun game. I don't think that mouse controls work all to well for a rotational system, especially where the player moves. I could have my mouse in an "up" position, but then jump, lowering my shield in a way that makes me vulnerable. Given the small set of obstacles, I was expecting to get tired quickly, but the difficulty ramps up at an appropriate pace. Maybe could afford to be a bit faster? Good work.
