You play as a child who is in a LARP war with the rest of the children around town. Due to the budget restrictions of said children, you are all limited to cooking utensils and saucepans for your LARPing. You need to get out onto the street and show the kids who's boss!

Because of the way I've sloppily programmed this, there may be crashes/errors when you die. If that happens, please copy and paste the error report and I can fix it.

Made in GameMaker: Studio Standard. My first of what I hope to be many Ludum Dares! Thank you to Shaun Spalding for his tutorials and providing an entertaining stream!

Beat em up concept is nice, balance could use some tuning, one time I got mobbed by a bunch of guys all at once, the next time I sat around for 30 seconds with nothing to attack.

I believe a spoon and a fork are quite unconventional weapons. The LARP-Mechanics are working, even though you can lose very easily. I like the design of the menus and backgrounds, but the character art maybe needed some more time.

A surprisingly fun little game, and an excellent explanation for the theme! I'm not clear on whether level refers to my character's level or the level I'm on though.

Norton hates Game Maker again, but disabled it to play. The game was fun and very hard. It could use some tuning on the spawning, but it was playable. Very nice background story.

Great graphics. Controls felt like they needed a little more attention though.

Nice beat em up concept with good explanation of the theme. I seemed to have an issue though where my weapons kept running out pretty quickly and then I couldn't attack any longer.
