This is my entry for LDJAM 31. I started with the idea of saving kitties and keeping bees out. My naturalist friend thought this was a terrible message and that I ought to seek support from Monsanto for doing such a thing. I thought about changing it from bees to wasps or mosquitos. But then I didn’t want to do art, so there you have it.
I have boid swarming in this, they’re attracted to you if you have the door open. They’re repelled if you have the door closed. On contact with the door they die. Kill them all and more waves will come.
(This actually isn't a Jam. It's a compo, but I guess I didn't submit it in time. I posted about it before the end of the competition.)
An interesting idea, could be a little weird for that if its not things like mosquito/baby or bee/cat, it makes no sense for yellow cubes just loving you and want to crush on you. LOLs. But it is a very interesting game and I did spend a lot of time on this, trying to survive. Good job!
Quite fun actually. As kiririn51 said, it is difficult to know when to close the door because you can't tell weither they're far or not. Maybe a radar would help ?
Ohhh, this is actually really fun! :D It's rather scary too; just opening the door to leave yourself vulnerable as the swarm of yellow cubes - the danger - slowly accellerates towards you. The audio is really funny too.
I really liked this game! Simple, fun and addictive. If you polish it a bit more, it could be a very good mobile game too.
By the way I spent my first few tries to understand how to close the door. I tried to close it using the mouse, arrow keys and wasd. When I discovered it was as simple as pressing the spacebar I felt a bit ashamed, but in this way I had the chance to listen to that funny "ouch" that made me smile a few times.
