You are a zombie. Avoid the people and collect the heads.
This is my first Ludum Dare entry. I had to cut out a lot of stuff that I wanted to include but at least I was able to complete a working game in time. I wish I had more time to polish it and and add more stuff but it is what it is. I learned a lot along the way and had a great time. I can't wait for the next LD.
Known Bugs/Glitches
- Jumping can be a little weird when you hit blocks (it ends the jump if you hit the side some times).
- Sound glitches out at the end of levels.
8/23/15 - Note:
I had some trouble setting up the Git repo. Mainly with the directories and builds. I didn't actually change anything in the game after the submission time but I did mess around with the repo. All the changes can be seen in the repo.
8/24/15 - Note:
I changed the included font to a free font to avoid any licensing problems with redistribution. Check it out here: http://www.dafont.com/lycanthrope.font
I also added a license file to the release build.
8/26/15 - Note:
Uploaded a .zip as suggested rather than using the build in the repo.
The idea is good, but it needs some more work in my opinion. The character jumps slowly and the sounds are a bit irritating. It's also a good idea to pack your binaries into a ZIP file for the users here to make the download easier.
The jump arc is bizarre, the hitboxes are confusing (I lost a life one time, although I was one box above the enemy) and the overall feel is not good.
On the other side, I liked your level design, I can see that there are ways of finishing the levels without getting damage, considering that, I think you should polish it and make a post-LD version, maybe nobody will play it but, at least, is excellent practice.
Fucker stabbed me while i was on top of a tile nex to him D: The idea is simple but the jumping feels weird, but hey its a compo entry so props to you dude, i think its a great job nonetheless :D
Physics seem a bit off. You move too slowly and it seems less like jumping, more like antigravity. Still, could do a lot worse for a first entry, and hopefully you've learned a bit to make your next entry awesome (I know I did first time).
Well, I see you did get a bit of harsh critics, but for a first Ludum Dare entry I feel it's kinda fine. Of course, the sounds is a bit irratating and I can see that other things require some work too, but keep up the good work, I'm sure you'll get better and better at this. X)
