"Never alone on this stupid screen" is a multi-player action survival game.
You are a shiny 8-bit guy who just wants to be alone on his CRT cave screen, but there's always stupid monsters, and EVEN WORSE, other players, that comes to annoy you.
But maybe you'll get to the heaven of 8-bits guys if you kill enough guys. And don't worry, your guy will always remember his stupid name and his level if he dies.
You can play using the arrow keys, and space/enter to fire. If you want to keep your level from another pc / browser, you can use the second link (http://ld31.slepetit.com/#returning ) to enter your username.
By killing enemies (or other players), you will gain some experience, that will allow you to throw those stupid monsters (they really are stupid) out of your home quickly.
Sometimes, the fonts might now load, so you'll get really crappy fonts, you'll just need reload the page to fix it.
Please play using a modern, Chrome/Safari/WebKit browser is recommended, since Firefox tends to lag a bit sometimes :(.
Feel free to comment, even harshly (I do actually prefer criticizing comments :) ).
Check the github page for technical stuff about the game.
Pretty cool to do a multiplayer game for LD! Nice music. The combat was pretty simple, it would be nice if there was a way to deal damage without taking damage too.
There was another player in the room, then I kicked his ass. Very enjoyable. Spot on for the theme. The controls are a little unresponsive, but that's hard to do with a networked game, let alone one written in 48 hours.
shubshub -> Thanks for the feedback anyway, I'll reduce the volume of the sounds !
rabbit -> Thanks for the feedback anyway !
madmaw -> Yeah, the prediction/networking code for the lasers is kind of buggy unfortunately (it was my first take on a fast-paced multiplayer game :/)
Hi there. Like the 8-bitness. Nice sounds. Lots going on, looks good. Might be a bit easy 'cos I lasted I while and I'm really bad at these games normally :) Good job!
Real neat and lots of fun! I would've liked another attack, maybe slightly stronger (shoots 2 or 3) but only in one direction. Music's great! Well done!
I found the gameplay to be a bit too "busy", with so much stuff flying around on the screen in different directions. I'd suggest further differentiating the projectiles from the enemies.
Congrats on making a multiplayer game in 48 hours... I know that's no easy feat. Unfortunately, no one else was in the game with me when I was playing, so things got repetitive pretty fast.
Made 3400 points, really nice game, got me hooked! I´ll keep playing! One of the best that ive tried!
Music is nice!
