SpaceFrack v1.0

You are the pilot of the latest in Super-Expensive Outer-Space Fracking Technology!
Drive around to find resources and frack them open.
But beware - rival mining companies have been drilling these parts for years and won't hesitate to blast you away.

Game engine parts: https://github.com/nornagon/atom
Explosion particle effect: http://www.gameplaypassion.com/blog/explosion-effect-html5-canvas/
Some sounds: freesound.org

If anyone knows how to get the background music (<audio> element) to loop correctly, please fork or send a message! Thanks!

Challenging!

Pretty fun, good work :)

pyrogames28 Apr 2014, 01:43

fun and interesting but a little confusing

I like the idea but you are suppose to make your own content including sounds.

Nice idea!

I like that after I lose, I must watch the other guy suck up the resources --> really gets me fired up to conquer.

Neat game.

Nice game.
Music get's a little repetitive but to be honest I'm nit picking there.
Good fun, nice game, like the protesters they were a good difficulty curve.

Interesting concept shame there's not a better AI, but good fun

Fun gameplay, it would be cool if you added a multiplayer mode. I laughed when I accidentally killed the anti fracking protester.

With better AI and some more varied gameplay and modes, this can turn out to be a great little game! I think you can definitely take this furhter. Good luck in the compo.

Good idea and good game, i like the audio. It is a little too long to play again when you lose.

derLPMaxe28 Apr 2014, 19:55

Well that is challenging. I like it. I only miss some sounds.

Thanks for the feedback!

- Whoops, maybe I'm not eligible to win because of using some freesounds. Next time!
- The AI should be fixed! Or at least not get stuck
- Multiplayer would be great
- OK, now you get one retry, then it's back to the start!

guscostauthor29 Apr 2014, 00:05

To clarify it appears that the AI *is* fixed in that it does not get stuck anymore.

Very cool! At first I didn't know how to get resources but once I got this....I loved the music as well. Very good job!

When I start the game it immediately freeze after I hit enter and this error appears in the console:

Uncaught InvalidStateError: Failed to execute 'noteOff' on 'AudioBufferSourceNode': cannot call stop more than once. game.js:199

Nice concept, althought the collisions with enemies were a little confusing.

Pitoum15 May 2014, 09:23

Nice idea, but it's so hard to kill the enemy!
