Ludum Dare #32compo
Randomsmith
You are the Randomsmith: the go-to weapon dealer for all the spy agencies in the world. Given any set of items, you can fabricate a very powerful weapon, and your wages are also really competitive!
Connect the given objects and make your clients happy by creating awesome weapons in a matter of seconds!
THE GAME IS PROCEDURAL, RETRY IT TO SEE DIFFERENT ITEMS (some are rare!)
----------------------
Goal:
- Connect as much items as you can to form a weapon.
- Get money as score!
- 6 levels, then you are given your final score.
----------------------
Controls:
- left mouse click to move an item
- right mouse click to rotate an item
- get two items close (and correctly oriented) to connect them
NOTE: The 'base' item (with the green pulsing sign) is the final weapon's handle, everything else MUST be connected to it someway, and you can drag and rotate the whole weapon by dragging it!
SEE THIS GIF: http://i.gyazo.com/17671ddb5e5a56e1c40613c10aeb6ad9.gif
----------------------
Score (money):
- You get points for each item you connect
- You get (more!) points for following blueprints (just connect the two shown items, no need to check orientation)
- You get less points for elapsed time! Be fast!
----------------------
Note for source code: you need DOTWEEN free version to build it!
Get it at http://dotween.demigiant.com/
Note: if you are using google Chrome, you need to enable the NPAPI plugins by opening a new tab and writing chrome://flags/#enable-npapi in the URL!
Note: I'll try to get a WebGL build running later.
Note: Mac and Linux builds were not tested! Let me know if something is wrong!
Post here your highscore!!!!! :D

Fenaer20 Apr 2015, 16:12
Love it! Awesome music, fun concept.

Catman20 Apr 2015, 16:17

Very cool! Interesting combinations ahah
PixelMind20 Apr 2015, 16:28
Nice one. Took a little while to understand the concept but your gif video helped. After that it was a fun little discovery game :)
cicanci20 Apr 2015, 16:28
Really fun game!

Sogomn20 Apr 2015, 16:34
What the * did I just play? :D
REALLY cool idea and completely random (which is always good).
Nice music aswell.
Can't find the theme, tho.

Fantastic game, hilarious! And really well polished too, I'm thoroughly impressed!

Msquirrel20 Apr 2015, 16:38
This was awesome, really funny, really enjoyable little game, great job man!

Borkleby20 Apr 2015, 16:41
Even though I couldn't do what the blueprints told me to, and my high score was -9, I still found it unavoidably addictive. Awesome job. 5/5 stars.
Linus Lindberg20 Apr 2015, 16:41
The graphics are great! The game mechanics could use some polish (of course, it's LD game after all), but I really love it! Well done!

longshorts20 Apr 2015, 16:42
This was absolutely nuts. And I loved it.

Shared20 Apr 2015, 16:48
Very fun game, took time to understand the mechanics, but fun game
tripleVisionGames20 Apr 2015, 16:49
I'm confused right now. That poor goldfish. It will take me years to get over that.
I love this. Make more of this.

Very silly. Basically my day job.
Polyomino20 Apr 2015, 16:54
Really nice take on the theme. Well done!

Dungeonation20 Apr 2015, 16:55
It's a pretty good and funny game, but it's kind of annoying and tedious. I gave up after awhile. Nice job!
stuffedgravy20 Apr 2015, 17:00
I got 480 :)
As for the game itself, it's pretty fun! I think some more interesting objects would have been good, and possibly collision detection (I'm pretty sure I made one of my weapons just loop around itself) Great audio and graphics though! And a really cute idea!

this is amazing and highly disturbing. O.o great submission.

Hatsome20 Apr 2015, 17:22
Loved it, the only thing thats left is a game where you can use all these weapons

Nysten20 Apr 2015, 17:36
One of the top submissions! This could have been an endless game too. Funny, simple and very enjoyable. Funny combinations and the names get pretty weird, I made a thing called "Peanases"or something like that. ~430 was my best score. Thank you for this game.
Darkgoon20 Apr 2015, 17:57
It took me a while to start up but it's really funny, nice idea!
FungalCactus20 Apr 2015, 18:51
I can't figure out how to connect things.

torcado19420 Apr 2015, 19:04
This was hilarious! i was pretty confused at first but after figuring out the connection points it became pretty clear. awesome job!
DKoding20 Apr 2015, 19:05
Excellent job, great concept and so funny to create new items! But are you making weapons?

drludos20 Apr 2015, 20:52
Nice idea!
It seems there is a problem with your Windows build archive - I've downloaded it and when launching the game I have the "this program is not a valid Win32 application" error message (I'm using WinXP)

Anikki20 Apr 2015, 21:24
Weird.

HayBee0521 Apr 2015, 00:17
It was so random and funny. My highest score is 209 but I'll most likely play it some more.
flyingbear21 Apr 2015, 02:28
I just love how ridiculous this game is. It's one of those games where you can be so focused on the matter at hand (in this case connecting a pencil to a cat) until you take a step back and think "What on earth am I doing??"

LukeZaz21 Apr 2015, 03:35
I don't even know how to pronounce what I'm making. This is great.
pavel_insight21 Apr 2015, 09:57
I've seen your post on Saturday about the cat, it was rememberable))) Funny game)
dix21 Apr 2015, 11:36
Very nice funny game :D Some of those puzzles are impossible XD
orukinawa21 Apr 2015, 12:40
brb gonna go make a real life phtinguischligh

SecondDimension21 Apr 2015, 20:22
This was super fun to play around with, great sense of humour and fits the theme well. Awesome stuff!

Nanolotl22 Apr 2015, 01:48
It seemed like a good idea, but I could hardly ever get anything to work. The graphics and music were good, but the gameplay didn't seem to work very well...
Midnight Creators22 Apr 2015, 15:55
Funny game and nice artwork haha But the gameplay seems confuse.

Smirnov4822 Apr 2015, 20:38
Nice game. Good mechanics of combine things. I like it.

yuigoto23 Apr 2015, 10:56
This gane's so fun, it's harmful! My cheeks hurt from laughing hahaha! "Catasebencil"? Hahahaha
The graphics style, audio and the concept, they fit too well and the way the game mixes the names of the objects was really well done! :D Loved it! :)

marinalucio25 Apr 2015, 08:01
This is a great idea! Really original. I still had problems figuring out how to connect things, the gif helped, but i guess your game is too difficult for me. :) I guess if i could see more of how all these crazy things i was creating could be used as a weapon the game would be perfect. Nice game! :)
SledKnight10 May 2015, 17:53
I couldn't get anything to connect. Not sure what I was doing wrong... :(







The game is too short, 6 levels isn't enough. But, if I play it twice, it has 12 levels!
After several tries, I managed to get 605 earnings.
