You are a hitman. Choose your gun and kill the brown bugs! Use the arrow keys to move around and jump, and press X to shoot. If the game shows a dll error, run the attached vcredist_x86.exe. Made using Visual C++ 2012 and SDL 2.0.
The enemies followed my character's movements a little TOO well, to the point where I couldn't jump over any of them, and the only option was to shoot them (which isn't possible when they are already below you, mind you. As such, I couldn't finish the first level. On top of that, when I was dead, I was still able to shoot and move around. I could only exit the game when I clicked the "X" button. I gave it several honest attempts, but I couldn't really make it though. On the plus side, I liked the sound effects!
Unplayable -- there are no instructions for how to fire your gun. After trial and error I figured out that X fires the gun, but also kills you. Once you die you can still move around but there's no way to play the level alive again.
Hmm, shooting at the start kills you if you don't move a wee bit. I like the aesthetic though! Agree about being unable to jump over baddies. They anticipate you a wee bit too well.
Hey thanks for posting fixes! I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I really like how the sound effects line up to make a beat like a minimalist techno song.
Changing weapon make very little difference, the enemies have a very straightforward AI that does little to add interest to the game. The only level doesn't have any interesting feature. Good start for a game but much of the stuff put into the game make so little difference it is mostly wasted effort. You should try to make each thing you add count.
Cool game, love the different guns. I included this in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 28 Compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/EG4kRkM_i_s

It looks like some enemies are turds.
Like it..
I noticed that too, but it wasn't really intentional.
Everything was good, but the movement of the enemy's is maybe a little *to* good.
