Ludum Dare #33compo
My Cup of Fury
hold <W> to lift saucer
hold <A> or <arrow left> to move saucer left
hold <D> or <arrow right> to move saucer right
aim with mouse
<left-click> or <space> to shoot
VICTIMIZE THEM ALL! BUT DON'T DROP THE CUP!
Gameplay video here: https://youtu.be/e4W81I2QOGU
Hints:
1) I meant for this game to have difficult controls.
2) You probably need to master the controls first before you can actually climb the platforms.
3) If you have trouble keeping your balance in the air, try pressing up <w> and then immediately alternate between left <a> and right <d> keys to "shake" the cup into position, then maybe press up <w> again.
4) Or let the saucer, with the cup on it, slide down towards left or right until the saucer is "horizontal" instead of being tilted towards one side.
5)
You're
>>>>>>> suppose to descend a lot, most of the time, <<<<<<<

So long pressing the <w> key with the intent of "flying" upwards will most likely throw the cup off.
Thanks for playing! Hope you love it. Sorry if it's awful.

-Fixed some colliders.
-Fixed score not resetting on game over.
-Tweaked physics a little to make game more playable.

P/S: If you're playing the WebGL version on itch.io, your controls won't work right after the game is loaded. You have to

to "activate" the "window" before the keyboard controls work. Or set the game to fullscreen.

Moving didn't seem to work for me - I could only fire on the spot. :/

davidcmcdonald25 Aug 2015, 07:31
Not bad, i liked the interesting mood of the game. FYI you should tell poeple they have to full screen for the controls to work :)

ranmaru9025 Aug 2015, 07:54
Thanks davidcmcdonald. I have edited in a p/s about getting the keyboard controls to work.

thebrickanator25 Aug 2015, 09:38
This is a good concept and the graphics look quite nice I just had issues getting the controls to work well and even after full screening the game still found it difficult :) but I liked the original idea.

Great idea for a game! I like it a lot.
I did finally get the hang of the controls, but man, I gotta tell you, the game would be more fun if the controls were slightly easier! I think it would be slightly easier if the physics were more realistic.
I also would occasionally bump a platform with the cup and be told that I had lost, even though the cup was still firmly on the saucer.

It looks interesting, but unfortunately, I can't get the saucer to fly :(

ranmaru9025 Aug 2015, 17:02
Thanks guys. I just fixed the colliders a bit.
logiclogue, you're probably playing the WebGL version on the itch.io page.
So:
1. Click on the tiny "Unity WebGL" logo at the bottom left.
2. Click on the game's screen itself right after that.

Good little game! Nice art and interpretation of the theme. Quite funny too. Either the level or the controls could be a bit more forgiving. Also I wasn't that keen on the audio.

ranmaru9026 Aug 2015, 13:10
Haha thanks! Sorry about the audio. I rushed the audio part. Everything was my voice recorded using Audacity, even the sound effects of when the saucer is boosting. :p

ThePugProgrammer26 Aug 2015, 15:22
Ether this game is REALLY hard, or I just suck...

ranmaru9026 Aug 2015, 16:24
The game is meant to be really hard. You're suppose to get used to balancing the cup on the saucer first before trying to go up the platforms. :(
Sorry!
Sorry!

Interesting mechanic, but not easy.
Dizzly28 Aug 2015, 12:32
Controls does not work for me, not sure why. but I really liked the graphics.
Dizzly28 Aug 2015, 12:41
Oh sorry I just read the comment and done it! Very good game!
Zerkruemler29 Aug 2015, 19:19
Interesting physics simulation. Ist there a game too? I was so busy controlling the cup, I din't realize.
Silverfyre31 Aug 2015, 12:48
Very very difficult to fly! Saucer is too imbalance. Great idea though.
Crosstales31 Aug 2015, 12:49
Liked the concept even if the controls where quite a challenge. also liked the graphics. Well done.
mantis31 Aug 2015, 13:41
The controls are insane, but the game is fun! :)
n8b31 Aug 2015, 15:42
With Unity web, control are working only full screen for me.
Maybe it's the same for the ones that can't play...

The idea is very good but the control is a bit hard. The sound doesn't help to play a long time.

Silly, neat game. I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/CgBnxdy5Yfk






At least I got pair of kills before falling over, polishing the controls would be nice. (or maybe i'm just bad player)
