YOU ONLY HAVE ONE bullet left! But not to worry. As a super spy you're a qualified field surgeon and plucking the precious bullet from the guts of the fallen death-pinch-robots shouldn't be a problem. But don't get cocky. Too many robots can overwhelm you and reloading that bad boy can feel like an eternity. You might as well just toss it in a pinch. Not as effective, but f*ck it! There will be no pinchy business today!

________________

First LudumDare and first time making a game for one of us!

________________

What went right:

-Creating a mechanic that fit the theme.

-Fun idea that lead to a few laughs.

-Working with a great graphic designer.

________________

What went wrong:

-Pretty much EVERYTHING! xD

-Only working on Sunday and Monday night just before the deadline.

-86% of time just wrestling with bugs and problems from trying to use 2D for the first time in a workflow that doesn't support it yet and ending up making a mess of 2D with 3D stuff.

-Still more bugs in the submission than in Starship Troopers.

-No actual programmers on the team.

-No time left to make it feel good, fun or fair!

The art style is really nice! But the audio is grating and a bit annoying.

I like it so much! The best graphics I've ever seen!

Nice art style, sound of exterminate gets rather annoying.
Venks17 Dec 2013, 17:59
really good entry. Art is great. Great wrap of the idea. The audio does hurt from time to time. The the overall fun-ness of the game is top tier
MRvanderPants17 Dec 2013, 18:01
Maybe you should concider recording your own soundeffects. Really liked the graphics thou.

Fantastic graphics. Controls were a little too unforgiving and made the game somewhat frustrating.

Amazing Graphics! And nice use of the theme, although I found myself getting furthest without even using the one bullet
Gamelabbers17 Dec 2013, 18:08
Sweet game! cool idea that you skavenge your bullet from the robots :) Farting jumps and dr who reference is superfunny.
Jago17 Dec 2013, 19:51
Great visuals! Sounds were quite stange, but not bad at all. =D I love how the robots move backwards instead of turning around.

Do I recognise Dalek's: EXTERMINATE? :D
Taldius17 Dec 2013, 19:52
Really loved it, especially the Dalek's "EXTERMINATE".
Nice work!

Very nice, liked the train moving and the "fire" on the player.

Great entry!
The theme is well represented and the art is pretty good. The audio is annoying. The mood is great also, the sense o urgency is really high.

Nice entry! Loved the graphics and the gameplay. The "EXTERMINATE" sound became a little annoying after a while though :). The problems you were encountering aren't reflected in the game.

Loved the comic style intro!
Zephyr Raine17 Dec 2013, 21:28
The jump makes me chuckle ^^. Greatest graphics and art style i've seen so far, and a perfect soundtrack which stick to the game. Really good game. =)
ThatGuy17 Dec 2013, 21:54
Most well done art I've seen so far, great work!

This is epic. Then again, everything with Dalek in them is epic, but the intro and mechanics do help.
Nazariglez17 Dec 2013, 23:34
nice graphics, and quite original game, it's funny!
_zulli18 Dec 2013, 00:16
Awesome graphics! Audio is pretty annoying but the game is fun to play! Mechanics are good but i found some minor bugs. Great job! :)

If you have time, rate my game too! I would really appreciate it! :D

As much as I love the Daleks, I think that sound is copyrighted.

Cool graphics but, the cheap-sounding sounds kinda killed the feel of it for me :/
The game has a great idea! And you should DEFINITELY build on it after LD!
Very nice!

Very funny farting sounds. All around solid game. Well done. Only thing is that the robots tend to climb vertical walls.

Your music kept starting (but not stopping) whenever I died, so I had to eventually turn off my sound because of music overlapping itself.

The art and audio are pretty good, but there are many bugs and not not having a real programmer had its effect. But overall pretty good job
windwalkerranger18 Dec 2013, 13:15
Graphics are nice, auido is not that bad except the jump sound, minor graphic glitch when reload-shooting is easily forgettable. Quite fun, and most importantly, quite in-line with the theme. I say nice job.

Kudos for the idea + execution, i really got attached to the white-ish look of the bullet, but the audio caused a marital dispute ;)

Best one bullet Dalek-fighting game /I/ ever played :) Jumping over enemies was a bit tricky as touching them, even a tiny bit, killed you.
Coblynau19 Dec 2013, 21:00
I really like this game, good fun, easy to play and fast. My ONLY criticism would be that it should be faster to move left from a recently looted robot.

The game has huge potential - it has awesome graphics, good music, I even like the "exterminate" sound - but the jumping sound ruined all the mood for me.

Liked the art, though it did feel like I was loading more bullets into my gun when it was only one. Nontheless I loved the presentation and the gameplay was well rounded.
OrangeeZ21 Dec 2013, 21:12
A brilliant game! Art style is very impressive.

To bad the sound effects are just so badly matching and quite frankly not very good, because the visuals are just amazing. Also -1 for using Dalek voices for obviously non-Dalek enemies. Also jumping sounds like farting. This would be a 5/5 if it weren't for the sound.

Still a good game and smooth dynamics though, just please not this sound!
f7f522 Dec 2013, 01:35
The art is fantastic!

But the audio (the "exterminate" line and the farts) gets on your nerves pretty quickly. The collision detection was also very unforgiving, and sometimes I would die without actually hitting any robots (at least visually), just passing very close.

As everyone else already said, the graphics, mechanics and take on the theme are all great (I liked the recharge thing, it made the game feel more tense than most out there), but the game needs some audio polishing asap. Still great for 72 hours, congrats.

Exterminate! :D Doctor who remember :D

Graphics are perfects! :D

Really nice graphics ! Funny sounds,1 I like it, nice game !

good game. I like the art, but don't like that jumping sound
TobiasNL5 Jan 2014, 15:07
Cool stuff, like the graphics and gameplay idea. Jumping sound was indeed a bit dull. Didn't fit in.
