OMAGAD BIRDS !

Hello !

So this is my first game, developped in Java (1.7, the version is important :/, 1.6 probably won't work )

Linux -> execute launcher.sh
Windows -> execute launcher.bat

So you are GLOUP a kind fish, and you are being attacked by evil birds !

So you have to avoid them with the keys :
WASD - up / left / down / right
or ZQSD (for AZERTY users)

The game starts at 1 bird but you can add some with the key '+'.

The game takes some time to load, and starts on the pause screen (cf screenshots), so you just have to hit 'p' to unset the pause and start the game.

This is the first time I use a game library, and I'm not really an artist, but this week end was a good opportunity to learn some stuff :)

Thank you to all that will try the game and I look forward to read your feedbacks !

This game crashes when I run it with a null pointer exception

Doesn't work, I get the control instructions with red on the screen, with FPS of five. Nothing happens after that.

Unfortunately I couldn't download it because Chrome picked it up as malware?

The game starts on pause, you should hit p to unset the pause

I couldn't test it on linux, maybe that's why you can't launch it :/

Game crashes entirely for me when I run it sadly :<

Why does it take so much space and such a long time to load? Why is the FPS 5? These are just some of the questions I pondered while the game tried to unpause itself, after which I was instantly killed by a bird.

Well, at least you made something, good job.

OMG Birds!
Works for me.
for above:I think if it were higher than 5fps, it would be impossible...

Moosefly30 Apr 2014, 18:18

Gaspard_: Yeah, but generally you shouldn't use FPS to set the gameplay speed. You can have this kind of gameplay with high FPS, making the game feel a lot better.

yeah, chrome flags this game as malware for me, just like ArcturusDeluxe

game crash

After running it the third time I've managed to run away from one bird.
So I added another.
Still ok.
Was eaten by the 4th.
Be proud that you have made your first game, and know that you have a long way in front of you (which is good)
Being dropped straight to a game where something is after you is confusing. If this game takes a long time to load and you have to close&start every time you lose, the first 2 seconds after you started... I think you see where I am going.
While the concept is good, I couldn't understand the bird movement, sometimes they'd just randomly move in the bottom row with barely a way for me to run. A bit more structure in their movement could help the player a lot.

I'd like to see what you come up with next LD!

Actually when a bird is at the second level of the sky, it aims your current location and goes there, if you are on its way, yuo are dead, if not, the bird still goes to the point he aimed, and then goes straight up above the surface

Thank you for your encouragement :) I'll keep practicing !
