My first ever LD :D didn't get to implement the feature that would relate the game to the theme, but at least the game is playable and finished enough!
In this game you control a bunny and try to eat as much carrots as possible while staying alive.
To run the game, open the folder you extracted/installed to and run menu.exe
The game requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2010 which can be downloaded from Microsoft. Most machines probably already have it.
You must have a screen resolution of 1600*900 or higher to play this. If you have exactly 1600*900, then the game will run at full screen. To quit, just alt tab and close the window by right clicking on the task bar icon.
The Linux version accepts alt+f4 to quit
The game was written in Python and Pygame, and bundled using cx_freeze.
As to how this relate to the theme, if you think about it, rabbits dig hole, and the player is a rabbit...
Hint: There is a way to cheat death. To conquer the fear, you must face it.
Nice bunny/bird drawing style! In my opinion, the game would look much better and be more stylish if the ground was hand-drawn as well instead of being just general-looking ground.
There I am, hopping around trying out the controls and getting used to how the bunny handles... WHAM, a bird appears and instantly kills me. "You Died". Welcome to the Rabbit Hole.
Yeah, the gameplay was way too fast and somewhat dull, but the graphics were actually quite nice in their simpleness. Audio was there. I guess. Good job finishing something for your first Ludum Dare!
This game is so hard but it made me laugh so hard! Those birds! The delay between pressing space and doing the anti-bird flail was a little tough, it made it hard to react to the birds since they were so fast. I still laughed a lot though, I love that bunny. Good job on your first Ludum Dare :D
I hope you develop this further. It would make a great kids' app with the bunnies and carrots.
