Hi, This was our first time doing a Ludum Dare. It was quite fun, even if we almost gave up at some point (Nope, it's not related to our lack of art skills *hmpf* Sethyx *hmpf*).
____________
Description: Concerning the game, it's a beat'em'all. It's quite simple. You have a weapon (a nyan cat throwing rainbows with his butt) and your goal is to kill every suit man on the map. It's very basic, and there's probably much more to do to make it fit the theme.
Graphics: We made the art for the background, but there are some textures we grabbed on the Internet.
As it was pointed out by someone, it's hard to determine which textures we "borrowed" (thanks on the Internet, here is a list: - The player animation - The pikachu - The nyancat (it was modified but still) - The fire texture for the barrels
@Zuraguerra: The mac port was done. It should work now. @McBurrobit: I added more precision to the description concerning the graphics. They are not that much "borrowed" as you said.
The graphics, borrowed or not, look nice apart from the nyan weapon looked a little awkward. Your hud and menu was also very well polished. I thought the pikachu bazooka wasnt that good so i stuck with the nyan weapon, but all in all I still enjoyed the game. Great work!
very solid game, i beat everyone in level one and i assumed there is no level 2. here's what i liked: - graphics: the sprites as well as the parallax layers. gave me an old school double dragon vibe
- audio:
how it can be even better imho: - game play gets pretty repetitive soon.maybe more enemy types. and enemies that come from both directions
GiveEmLove_final2.exe isn't starting on my office computer. (Win7 64bit, 16gb ram, i7 2600). It seems that it falls into an infinite loop or something. I just start it and then my wait cursos keeps rolling forever. Then I can't delete the exe, and can't kill the process, because there isn't any.
Maybe it's due to the possible virus warnings that Horsed have reported before?
The graphics are really good, but the Pikazooka only worked once ? I finished the map, maybe an end or something like that would be great. I think you've done more work than we can see, because there was an energy bar and, it didn't affect the game ?
@SowiHowl: Hmm, that's not an energy bar, it's the fire rate bar, its value is modified by the modifiers you can pick up once you've killed an enemy. There's an issue with the Pikagun, where you playing on Mac ?
That give em love title is great, really like the design of it. Fun game and played it till the end with a score of 293. Would be nice to see more levels but really solid entry for first Ludum Dare.
@Franklin's Ghost: It was not the first title. At the beginning it was "Spread Your Love", but Give'em Love reminded us of Beat'em all, so we sticked to this title.

The game looks good, but it's hard to assertain how much of the graphics were "borrowed".
@McBurrobit: I added more precision to the description concerning the graphics. They are not that much "borrowed" as you said.
I'm not sure that the pikzooka was better than the nyan cat.

congrats on finishing.
I really liked this one!
Good solid entry for a first Ludum Dare.
@Mixer: Thank you for your kind words. We're planning to improve the game. Add new ennemies, new levels, new ambiances, etc... Come back soon :)
