Ludum Dare #32compo
Rainbow Tank
Destroy the Russians with your rainbow laser tank.
WASD/Arrow keys to move, Mouse to Fire
Score multiplier increases for each enemy you destroy with a single rainbow beam.
Time caught up with me a bit and I wasted too much time trying to write good music, so the visuals are very basic. Still, pretty pleased with the end result as this was my first ever game jam :)

Plays well, not particularly innovative (it's Tanks) but it played well and was fun for the time. The rainbow plays more like a flamethrower, but for a first game jam entry this is very balanced on all fields, good stuff, good work, good times abound~ :D

Fun game. Nice player feedback too, with solid mechanics. Good overall! had a nice time playing this, even if it is a bit simple.
FuzzyWuzzie20 Apr 2015, 04:40
Awesome game! Loved the concept and the execution was spot on. That said, it was a bit too easy - perhaps some stronger enemies or more of them at a time would be called for?

I like the music, it reminds me of the old Duck Tales games back in the days of NES. :)

Fun game to play! Really liked how the turret took a bit to match the mouse position.
Awesome job!
Awesome job!

It brings me back to the good old days, nice work! I like the part that I need to predict the enemy's movement and shoot.

That was highly political

Menu title is awesome ! The gameplay is well balanced, even if it's a little bit easy.

Flygamer10120 Apr 2015, 13:07
nice graphics, i liked the pixely feel. not too innovative however, but It was fun to play. I had a great time.

ajopart20 Apr 2015, 13:13
Good one. The music is particularly great. Can't stop playing. But maybe a little too easy. Great job !

ManicMiner20 Apr 2015, 13:17
True story about the game being too easy - it was, until 10 minutes before submission deadline, really, REALLY hard... the I halved the spawning rate on the enemies to test something, and erm... yeah, forgot to put it back :)
DKoding20 Apr 2015, 15:19
10/10 best game ever, would play again. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

Nice little tank game. I really enjoyed the musics. The weird error console affected little about the game, but I managed to close it. Nice game considering that this is your first game jam entry. :) !
Marcellus20 Apr 2015, 15:32
Nice entry, was fun and challenging. A tank firing rainbow is quite a square take on the theme.
Marcellus20 Apr 2015, 15:46
Nah, screw conventions.
Your game looks good, the music is very nice, but a tank firing rainbow instead of bullets is suck a basic redneckish interpretation of what could have been a poetical view on weapons. How dare you saying this :
"Also not sure how it fits the theme, and feel like it might have been a design for a different theme that has been retrofitted with a "gun""
about my game, as yours totally correspond your own critic ?
People like you makes me sad about the future of ludum dare.
A tank firing rainbow... why no a gun that revives zombies...
Pityfull.

Fun game, the music is good and the rainbow are so cool !!
badlydrawnrod20 Apr 2015, 17:12
The only thing missing was unicorns! It plays very well and I like the presentation, particularly the effect on the title text. Definitely fun to play. Cracking tune too!

Havacore20 Apr 2015, 17:32
I really liked this one! Got me laughing pretty good once the music started. I would've liked to see some more to it, like different enemy types, bombs, etc, but with time constraint I know that's difficult to pull off.
Good work on this one!

This reminds me of old c64 games :)
kyyrma20 Apr 2015, 17:37
At first I just shot out single rainbows, but then I realized I can hold down the button to spew out glorious rainbow puke. A pretty solid entry! Wish the in-game graphics were as well thought out as the intro screen.
DarkMeatGames20 Apr 2015, 18:12
I'm getting that playmaker error as well, but was able to run the game anyways after closing the log. Nice overall entry. Great audio and polish. Not enough variety though. Maybe a couple powerups or another enemy type would help.

scorched20 Apr 2015, 18:24
Why shall one destroy us?

ManicMiner20 Apr 2015, 19:21
Really sorry about the playmaker error people are getting - honestly I've NEVER seen it so I can't really fix it - it sounds like the game is perfectly playable, so its probably just some weird bit of Unity nonsense - If anyone can send me a grab of the error, that would be fantastic as then I can at least have a look at what might be causing it

AlexDJones20 Apr 2015, 19:33
Great first entry, really fun and simple gameplay!

QuexD20 Apr 2015, 19:59
I LOVE IT
MrSchlag20 Apr 2015, 20:13
Very cool, i enjoy playing this game, Great music!

Ilseroth20 Apr 2015, 22:53
Fun tank game, gets repetitive after a bit; but Oh those Russians, they are so charming with that intro screen.
matthewd67320 Apr 2015, 23:15
Despite being fairly short, I really enjoyed this game. Especially the music, nice job!
anokta21 Apr 2015, 01:16
loooved the art style, especially the title screen is so cute! :) fun to exploit the rainbow mechanic as well, haha. nicely done!

PapaCheech21 Apr 2015, 03:25
Should have rainbow explosions when you die

davidcmcdonald21 Apr 2015, 03:26
reminds me of "Smash TV" on the nes. really fun and brought back some cool retro memories. i enjoyed this game and think it has potential to continue. the audio was pretty strong too. good work!
LTPATS21 Apr 2015, 03:27
Fun game, the sounds effects were really satisfying and the music was catching. Got a little boring after a bit, but could definitely have a lot more potential with some more enemies or abilities. Great work!

EwChap21 Apr 2015, 04:07
Nice tank controls and turret speed/rotation.
wg_phancock21 Apr 2015, 04:51
Reminds me of Smash TV meets Combat. The art is pretty fun!

Murchurl21 Apr 2015, 06:22
Nice simple game. I lasted a while :p
Good job
Good job

The text was great, really liked the way you did the Title Screen text. Did wish it was a bit harder though but congratulations on completing your first Ludum Dare.
Nikteddy9221 Apr 2015, 14:33
Tetris Docet!
Btw Great entry! :D
Btw Great entry! :D

Funny game, remembers me the game Robot Unicorns from Adult Swim Game :D

Teesquared21 Apr 2015, 18:33
Robotron with tanks and rainbows. Nice! Very polished and fun. I like the screen shake, controls, and fly text. Music and graphics are awesome too. I called it quits at 73K with more health than I started so the difficulty was a bit off. It gives new meaning to "taste the rainbow."
SuperMsp1021 Apr 2015, 20:13
great game
steboots22 Apr 2015, 00:10
Music fit the graphics nicely, was oddly fun to shoot rainbows at tanks to watch them explode.
rjhelms22 Apr 2015, 03:00
I love the music.
Not bad at all for your first game jam - can't go wrong with a compelling game mechanic that's well executed, and you've got that here for sure.

Fun little game, a bit too easy and no difficulty curve but well presented.
Sytech2 May 2015, 12:59
Fun game, great music and nice graphics! I like the arcade style of it.
I would have liked an increase in difficulty though, it was a bit too easy. Also I noticed a bug where you could go outside the map with your tank and shoot into the playfield, without ever being shot back at.
