Yogo Grenade is short for "You Only Get One Holy Hand Grenade"! The goal of the game is to stay alive for as long as possible! Will you be a be able to hold off a Fibonacci series of bunnies?
It was written in C++ with only Allegro.
Making Your Own Maps ====================
You can make your own maps! There's the map.txt as an example. 'M' are the wall tiles and, 'S' is the player spawn, and 'E' is Rabbit spawn. Don't put more than 256 characters for each line or over 1024 lines, because I didn't get to rewriting my C arrays to grow dynamically.
Running the game on Windows ===========================
Run the executable "yogo-grenade.exe" to play the game!. It crashes on exit, though. I don't really know why
Running the game on Linux =========================
Run the executable "yogo-grenade" to play the game!
The most common missing dependency is "libdumb1". Make sure you have it installed before you run the game. On any Linux distribution, just use your favourite package manager! For instance, on Ubuntu or any Debian-like distribution, the command is "apt-get install libdumb1"
If your machine is behind on shared libraries, use "ldd yogo-grenade" to see all of its dependencies.
Edits =====
The resources are now in a folder called "resources", since it was hard to find the executable among the resource files. I editted the sound levels, since some people said the sounds of the bunnies was deafening. Fixed a bug where bunnies kept getting stuck at walls. I changed the bunny cap, since most peoples' computers seem to be able to handle the game at a decent performance.
Cute little game. I like how the rabbits come in fibonacci numbers! And, of course, the holy hand grenade is awesome. But it's really easy to just camp the spawn portal with the machine gun button held-down. This might be solved with random spawn points, or maybe giving some reload time to the machine gun so you can just hold it down on top of the portal.
Nice little game. I would have expected the rabbits killing me but they were rather harmless. ;) Did fall off the map at one point but could not go anywhere or restart from the red death screen.
Fun little game. I like the fact that you have to go forward more and more as the ennemies increase in number. The ennemy sound is horrible but it make us want to kill them even more so why not...
Cool funny game. I like the main character style and the rapid firing. The bunnies were a bit small on my screen, so I thought they were feathers or something. Including a level editor is always great. Works well on Windows 7.
There is a lack of focus in the project. It has everything of something but just the basics. I would have liked to see one of the subjects expanded on. For example you could have focussed on the holy handgrenade as you only use it once. Or various enemies.
Haha! To start with I was thinking "eugh, this is too easy, you can just spam (spam spam spam) the portal and stop the rabbits getting any where but then I had to RUN AWAY.
Just the sheer number of bunnies is the most entertaining thing. Didn't think the grenade added a whole lot to the game, but still had a bit of fun seeing how long I could survive.
Cute, I like games with lots of enemies. The problem with exponential increase of numbers means that you die more or less at the same wave every time. The bunnies move too fast to avoid them, so the best strategy seems to be to stand on the leftmost floating platform and shoot down. A more interesting "smartbomb" mechanic could also benefit this game.

I also enjoyed the Monty Python reference.
Fun little game :D
