You are a purple monster which hide in the sewer. You only get out to change from a manhole to another one, and have to pay attention to car while doing it.
You can eat people, almost any, but sometimes, you can only digest a special type of people.
Ten levels and then, an endless mode are available.
There is no time limit, it was too late when I got the idea to make an hungry bar.
C++ with SFML. Photoshop 7 for graphics and font (And the VIC-20 color palette and resolution). Guitar Pro 5 and Nuendo for music. I am afraid there is no sound effects.
The Bunny from the splash screen was not made during the jam (only modified to fit the color palette), same thing for the jingle.
From saturday 3PM to monday 2AM (French hour).
28 August - Update:
Fixed packet for the Linux version
New packet for the source code, separated from the linux version
For such a simple concept I really enjoyed playing this. Has a lot of potential for further development. Looks well polished, fits the theme and most of all is fun to play. Well done.
Very good stylization! A fun, diverse game with very good graphics and sound.
Minor complaints: Objectives texts is hard to read and sometimes eaten persons glitch and remain standing where they were caught until the end of level.
Authentic retro feeling, gameplay is light-hearted and fun.
(I was running this in a fresh installation of Windows 7, and the game wouldn't run because openal32.dll was missing. I had to pull it from another game and then it worked.)
$ ldd sewerglue linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffda83f3000) libsfml-graphics.so.2.3 => not found libsfml-audio.so.2.3 => not found libsfml-window.so.2.3 => not found libsfml-system.so.2.3 => not found
And when I tried to install the libraries, my Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit system had libsfml-graphics2/window2/system2, which seems different enough to be a problem.
Really liked the concept and gameplay. My only complaint is you can basically stay in one spot to win. Maybe create a mechanic to encourage the player to move around to each sewer. Music was the best I heard so far.
An interesting entry. The graphics are really nice, although the text was a little hard to read. It was definitely fun to play, I like the idea and the music is great, too. Very good entry!
The game gets long and hard when you have to eat a certain type of person, but at the same time there are also many incorrect people walking around. The target type rarely passes over you alone, thus making it easy to grab the wrong type at the same time as the target, and also making it easy to kill yourself in doing so. Unless you're prepared to wait around for the perfect moment, that is... but I was impatient, haha!
Nice detailed pixel art, unique concept, and pretty fun! Hope you add in those sound effects sometime. :)
Whee, managed to build it, but had to set: CC = g++ -std=c++11 -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 Because I'm silly and using gcc5.1.
Fun for a bit, but by the time it got to "only eat hot pink girl" I was finding it a bit frustrating just having to wait for one to spawn and then missing her and not being able to catch her at all.
This game is great, especially considering that you accomplished everything in 48 hours! I really like that the concept allowed you to have different goals for the same game -- eat X of these people, eat X people, etc.
The graphic style was great, but the text was very hard to read.
But nice game, interesting and funny concept.
