Tragedy has struck, and there's only one man to fix it. Craig Killbane. A Man who has been given Nuclear Arms becomes the one weapon needed to save the world.
This is our first Ludum Dare, and many of us' first time using most of the tools as well. Learned a bunch and had fun. Hope you guys like what we came up with.
Controls: WASD = movement (Press W to climb vines, and S to pass through platforms) Left Click = Punch Right Click = Laser
IMPORTANT NOTE - You need to HOLD LMB to punch, Time it right to get the most range.
HEAT is your resource to fire the laser. It depletes the longer you fire it. To gain more HEAT you just need to kill enemies or destroy barrels. You get more HEAT when destroying things with your punch.
wow! I loved the mood of this game. The music and art definitively help keep it casual but interesting and action-packed. I wish it wasn't as hard in the beginning though.
Intro was funny! I found the timing and range of the nuclear punch to be too tricky, so I just ran through and used the nuclear blast whenever I had energy. Lots of uncertainty whenever dropping levels, because the camera would hide the dozen goons on the ground below me.
So... Rambo meets Iron Man meets Rainier Wolfcastle meets... the Silver Surfer? Sure, I'll take that.
Controls could use some tweaking; movement is mostly fine, but punching falls a bit short -- literally, the range isn't quite as long as I'd have expected and the delay is fairly long, making regular close combat nearly impossible.
Otherwise, fun game with good humor. Looks and sounds pretty nice. Good job!
Some of the best music I've heard so far. Digging the bad action movie feel. Gameplay was ok, but the humor and music kept me going. I especially like the bong-jetpack thugs.
Perhaps adjusting the laser damage so it wasn't one hit kill for a big length, but otherwise gameplay was solid. Some more animations for climbing and jumping would help a bit too. Spelling could probably use some work, but you're lucky that's not a category :P. I did get a good laugh though.
The cartoon art looks nice. It will be better if controls and feedback improved. I fell hard to control the hero(especially the jump) and don't know when and why my hp reduced.
