An unfinished game, again... So, this time we made a TopDown pixelated game.
Plot: Villagers have come to dry the swamp with flamethrowers, you are Swamp Man, you live there, you have to save your home.
Use arrows to move, left CTRL key to throw balls of swamp in front of you to extinguish the swamp that is burning, and to kill villagers. You carry 3 of these balls with you, walk in the swamp to « reload ». You need 4 balls of swamp to kill a villager, a villager hit by a ball is stunned for a short time. Fire is the only way to die, don't walk in the burning swamp and avoid flame-throwers.
Courageous villagers will try to kill you while coward villagers will run away from you.
There is no way to win, but if you manage to kill all the villagers, that would be an achievement for sure!
Made from scratch in C++ with Allegro5 in 72h. Tools: Vim, Aseprite, Milkytracker, Audacity, ... Made by Thomas Medioni(prog), Jonathan Bayle(prog+art) and Hugo Desfrançois(music+sounds).
Achievement unlocked, I killed all of the villagers! I think I got lucky because only one of them seemed "courageous" and aggresive towards me.
The flamethrower animation was great, but the fire animation seemed extremely fast. I wish that there was some kind of indication as to how many swamp balls I was carrying.
Great game overall. Few things could have been improved like telling me how much ammo i have and what exactly the swamp things i need to run into to get more ammo. No doubt good game!
i really dislike the background and some graphics, but the idea is very good. I know very well the effort, mine is unfinished too. I will play the full version if you finish it
