What does a squirrel do with his last acorn? (It's not you, the player, who only gets one. Rather, it's the poor little squirrel who only gets one shot at attaining anymore acorns throughout its life.)
Like a lot of other games, time only permitted this much content, quality of artwork, lack of audio, etc. etc. Pretty much a basic concept behind my game. Complete or not, hope you enjoy your time rating!
NEWS: Everything is now in a nice executable jar!!! I'm so happy! ^^ Jarsplice is amazing!
NEWS: Untested Mac and Linux copies. For some reason the final jar sizes were smaller than the one for Windows, which makes me a bit worried.
Hi ! It seem there is an bug on the execution of your game, the jar start then close immediately. If it can help, I have windows 7 64bits Java(latest version) please let me know I would like to try your game :)
I beat the sun! I mean I beat the acorn! I think? Anyhow. =P It was basic, as you say, but also fun enough to replay until I was victorious, and with probably the best story I've ever read about sun-worshiping squirrels.
This was cool! My big complaint is probably that I didn't know where the sun was, so I was just bouncing about for a while before I stumbled onto it by luck. It might have been cool if you started with a super-zoomed out version that zoomed into your slingshot? I guess it depends on what you were going for.
The first few tries I thought I had to get it right with the original sling, so it was really hard. After that I realized how useful the arrow keys were and I made it by just bouncing a bunch, which was pretty enjoyable. Good job!
Simple game as you said. It was pretty nice to play it, but I'd rather like a twist in the gameplay, something new and challenging or unexpected :) that's what I'm looking for in LD games. Anyway, good job!
Interesting concept and pretty good physics, but the gameplay seemes overly difficult, especially since the player can't see most of the map and has such limited control over the acorn.
It was a while before I figured out that I needed to mash the arrows continuously instead of holding them down. Interesting take, one acorn to reach the sun. The gameplay need to be more precise and solid, though.
