There is a break-in in your house, and you as a weapon builder has designed three weapons that will chase these thugs away. Three intense levels with super awesome unconventional weapons you will get to the bottom of this for the person responsible for the break-in.

But these thugs have a sort of virus their blood will also follow you and will try to infect you to...

A game by Givit Game Studios, our first Ludum Dare. It was super fun. See you again in August.
Programming, sound and level design by: Gustav van Rooyen

We really hope that you enjoy it the way we enjoyed making it.

The web build isn't working for me. I see index.html but not the actual game. Make sure that you uploaded the build into the special "Public" folder in Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/16)

I would enjoy this a bit more if WASD or arrow keys moved the player rather than the left mouse button. I also got stuck on a corner in level 3 and had to quit the game. It's too bad you didn't manage to get the penguin grenade to actually explode like a grenade though. That would have been funny. Grat's on your first LD game. See you next time!

So... the game idea is good, but bugs (player stuck in the wall, enemy in death animation who still dangerous...) and difficult controls (why not ZQSD ?) make the not funny, because the player is frustrated... Better luck next time ! :)

The game is not working for me. I see the title screen, followed by the yellow-orange background, but nothing appears. Also, this is Ludum Dare 32. May be a bit confused there =)

Thank you for letting me know I will check it out quick

I don't really know what's happening in there, because enies appear and disappear every 2 seconds and my cursor doesn't shows up, so it's really difficult to play.
Also you wrote "Ludum Dare 31"
It's Ludum Dare 32 :)

Hey volkoivan sorry made a little mistake with the ludum dare entry numer

Humorous, true to the theme, quite buggy though. Got stuck on walls a few times, and floating pools of blood are sort of freaky. Nice SFX / Audio! Good job.

I liked the third weapon. But you really have to work on the collision detection and the controls felt hairy.

ps: the music reminded me of rammstein ;) good job there

Thugs are so thug that even their dead corpse blood is chasing me. I completely adore the controls. Top down shooter with hack'n'slah-like clicking is something really fresh and joyful for me.

The only problem i have is that you gave me so little health. I almost die from a single touch of the enemy.

Anyway, I really, really enjoyed it.

The music in this game is really, really cool.

But even then, it does feel like you made a regular top down shooter and at the last second added the various birds to spice it up. Also, the chickens look like poop splatters.

Pretty cool but I got stuck in a wall on the last level :(

Actually very addictive. I sucked at it. But still

This game is not bad, but I got stuck in the wall.

Makes the game more difficult. Else fine game.

I think some explanation of controls would be nice somewhere. I figured it out eventually, but I don't normally right click on web games. Great game overall and quite addictive

Fun idea, with nice visuals. The controls feel like a mess though.

Nice game. Web link is doesn't work. It needs WASD to be more comfortable.
gv1351author9 May 2015, 10:39
Hallo Smirnov48 I will check quickly thank you for letting me know. But I recommend to run the game in any other except for Google Chrome.

Interesting game. I had no idea what to do at first or what the controls were. Eventually figured out that right click was shoot, which is not obvious for web games.
