Grave Screen Of Death
"Fill the screen with the graves of your enemies !
But beware ! They will explode and destroy everything when you let them get too close to you ! "
Kill enemies and don't let them explode near you or near existing graves because it will destroy them, reducing your score.
Move: WASD. (Press Shift-Alt to toggle between AZERTY and QWERTY keyboard layout).
Shoot: Left mouse button.
Dash in the direction of the mouse: Space
Toggle menu/Pause: Escape

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE RUNNING/LOADING THE GAME
In Safari on OSX, you can try to enable WebGL by following theses steps : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3300585?start=0
Doesn't work at all in Safari on Windows. :(
Try running it in another browser, try several of them.
The web player just uses javascript and WebGL so it should work on any modern, up-to-date web browser, whatever OS you are using.

Made alone in a little more than 26h with :
- CraftStudio, the cubic and cooperative game-making platform. http://craftstud.io
- Daneel, a scripting framework of my own for CraftStudio. http://daneel.florentpoujol.fr
- Paint.net for some of the "art", the rest, including models and animations is made directly inside CraftStudio.
- Sfxr for sound effects. http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html
Sources are on GitHub but you can open the project directly inside CraftStudio if you have it installed by clicking this link :

Fun, simple concept! Controls very nicely!
Mattias Wargren8 Dec 2014, 22:38
nice!
lightsoda8 Dec 2014, 22:56
Looks alright, the slanted view is a nice touch.
wer2chosen9 Dec 2014, 09:43
wouldn't start, which is odd since I have a craftstudio account.
JNyknn9 Dec 2014, 09:44
Not bad, but like some other users said, it gets boring very quickly.
Geti9 Dec 2014, 09:46
Got a lot of lag after a while but looked nice, if a bit simple :)
Ryusui9 Dec 2014, 09:47
Not a bad little arena shooter, but a bit repetitive after a while. I'd have appreciated a bit more gameplay variety.
Wayward9 Dec 2014, 10:03
Nice dash
Waschtl9 Dec 2014, 10:18
Combat feels kind of "weak", needs more screenshake! Graphics look nice, but the mechanics get repetetive really fast, needed some collectable upgrades or something?
sirdorius9 Dec 2014, 10:46
I like the visuals a lot!
Luke Molnar9 Dec 2014, 13:15
ahh... loading bar just sat at 99%.
Just me?
Just me?
Florent9 Dec 2014, 13:41
@Luke : It can happen, please try another browser... For me, the game works fine on the latest version of Firefox and Chrome (on Win 7).
Thanks everyone for your comments !
I know the game is a little "weak" gameplay wise, and not enough challenging.
My next game will be better ! :D

Not very bad :D
I'd love the dash to be in the direction I'm moving though so I can dash backwards but that might have been too over powered :p

Nice job! Enjoyable, but it doesn't change enough. Also, there seems to be an issue for > 100% DPI in windows. Mouse position is captured wrong so you don't shoot at the mouse. However, that won't affect my rating.
rzuf10 Dec 2014, 13:41
Classic twin-stick shooter. I love the blocky characters. :D As others said, it takes too long to cover even significant part of the screen with those graves. :P
kurismakku10 Dec 2014, 13:41
I like the visuals, the way it all looks 3D. Nice job ! :)
Appocket10 Dec 2014, 13:42
Not able to play it please fix this.

Cute graphics, really dig those explosions with the beeping to really stress you out :) . The shooting felt a bit weird. Seemed like the enemies could not register more than one hit every second or so. Good job though!
Slothmachine10 Dec 2014, 15:05
Sweet simple style in graphics and animation.
Tuism10 Dec 2014, 15:06
I can't launch the game... The loading bar gets stuck at the last bit... And no more. OS X, Safari.
Hellequin10 Dec 2014, 15:20
Neat concept! Really like the gameplay !
goodbadokay10 Dec 2014, 16:41
A bit monotonus but a nice looking tds
And a bit hard to play with a touchpad ;)

To those you can't run the game :
I am afraid I can't do much...
I can't test with Linux or Mac but the game even works on Android !
Try using other, modern, up-to-date browsers.
If it still does work, I am sorry... :(

Cool!Sadly it's hard on azerty keyboard...

@stvr It seems that on OSX, you have to activate WebGL by following theses steps : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3300585?start=0
voxel16 Dec 2014, 06:45
had trouble aiming, but this is a nice dose of hectic action :)
Xanjos16 Dec 2014, 23:28
Pretty simple but still addictive. I liked the cartoony graphics a lot.
Jupiter_Hadley20 Dec 2014, 23:20
I really wish that I could shoot and run. I Included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Wy_mvMH2L7Q

Works great! Though once you get the hang of it's easy :P
Maybe some difficulty curve is lacking as said above :)

Its a nice crafted game but i got bored around 80 points, needs to have a steeper difficulty curve. Dash was awesome!
Please add some music, try Bosca Ceoil by Terry Cavanagh, its a simple tool.
