A game about extinguishing fire. In space. With monsters.
You play as the Astrofireman of a station on a planet out in space somewhere, and the station appears to have a breach. Some weird (unfinished models :[ ) alien monster things have broken in. While sorting those fires out, I'd try to avoid them. Or they'll kill you.
You die if your health hits 0 or you run out of oxygen, both of which can be restored with pickups. You'll have to keep a keen eye on your foam, it's your only defence against the monsters.
Survive as long as possible with as much score as possible!
Due to trying to make a 3D game by myself like an idiot (2D, I miss you) I had no time for Audio, so I've opted out of that. I also hadn't the time to display controls in the game or show the high scores (they're being saved though! I had only 30 minutes to spare ):
Controls
WASD to move Down Arrow to fire your extinguisher Space to jump
Thanks!
EDIT: After testing the game (didn't have time to) I realised the animations were not displaying correctly and also added the scores to the menu while at it, as it was annoying me. I tried packaging for HTML5, but it wouldn't work... plus, it needs a 64 bit browser, which not many people have.
I added a video for those who are interested in seeing the gameplay and don't use windows (L:
I liked the graphics and the neon-type effect, but the controls feels a little dull. Would haved like to get the option to use the mouse to look around and direct the weapon.
I actually had to check and recheck if this was a jam entry or compo entry. Super impressive visually for the time limit. I love the filmgrain and hazy look, very Alien. Goes straight to the top my list of games this compo.
@Tijn Unfortunately I can only export on mac with a mac, it has always baffled me why apple lock down mac so much. I did try to do an HTML5 build, but it was a no go ): I'll make a video :P
Wow, amazing looking game, especially considering its part of the compo. Sure there could be sound and a few gameplay tweaks, but I'd expect this level of detail in a Jam game. very nice job.
The graphics are cool although a bit dark overall. Controls are tricky - some target mechanism for the fire extinguisher would be cool. Even better if the extinguisher could also be used to kill aliens. Additional conflict -> fight fire or aliens! Great competition entry, you should continue working on it! It has lots of potential!
