A small game revolving around staying alive for as long as possible and gathering as many points as possible.

Tested OSs:
* Linux: Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
* Windows: Windows 7 64-bit
* OSX: OSX 10.6.8

What you need to run the game:
* An OpenGL compliant graphics card.
* Windows, Linux, or OSX.
* If you are using Linux or OSX: An install of the SDL, SDL_image, and SDL_mixer libraries (1.2 versions).

If the game does not work for you, you will need to compile it yourself.

Sadly crashes on Win8.1 64

I really liked it. I kinda wish there was a restart button, but overall I enjoyed it

@Tigris Do you have the VC++ Redist Package? I'll investigate and see if there's anything fishy going on in the code.

Great submission, loved the model and the animation, the sword dragging in the sand was a nice touch.

I think I've resolved the crash on Windows (was related to a glDrawArrays call).

Its a fun and simple game. I would recommend making the Police stand out a bit more, its hard to find which one are they.

@mickanio Do you have SDL installed? Furthermore, the game was compiled for a very old version of OSX (as that's the only version I have available), so it would not surprise me if the issue is related to that. Nevertheless, I will look into the issue and see if I can compile the game for a more modern version of the OS.

It's simple and funny, graphics are cool too.

Amusing idea. Some audio would have been nice.

Pointage...

M2tias2 Sep 2015, 17:48

Pointage... How about flashing and points?

JNTauthor4 Sep 2015, 11:37

@M2tias, nah... I like "pointage" better.

This is more fun than it should be :D
I like the graphics, I like the humor.
Not sure about the monster... but I guess every monster is a misunderstood person with some issues...
