Of Penguicode and Unimen

by zetty
First finished game. First time using LibGDX. Made all the graphics save for the unicode snowman and penguin. Contains ZettyMath... which is inaccurate.

The concept is one of survival against snowmen. Snowmen are scary. They're snow... but alive. Hm. Anyway, it's all in one screen, because that was the theme. Yay.

* Needs some work on the trajectories or projectiles or what have you ;)
* Could do with some packaging (do java -jar penguins-1.1.jar if your jars aren't associated with java)

(Controls: WASD, Left click, Spacebar to restart at game over)

Sadly the snowman didn't win the vote.

Aye, but it is on one screen. And it has penguins! Well, a single penguin. Penguins are awesome.

I see what you mean by ZettyMath. :-) I couldn't figure out how to reliably aim, so I just constantly tossed out entire walls of fish skeletons while moving up and down the screen until I got unlucky and a snowman spawned right on top of me.

Kinda fun. Unicode graphics are a neat idea, heh. You have some problem with the targeting, though...It seems like the direction the projectiles travel is in some way related to the way the penguin is moving, but it doesn't make any sense?

Nice, simple game! The aiming could use some tweaking, but works as it is, just needs some adjusting to .)
