Video games; there's always a dungeon room with a monster to fight, and to take the loot. Well now, YOU are the monster. Defend your loot by vomiting at enemies!
NOTE: Control glitch fixed, now works properly. (Arrow keys).
NOTE: Requires Java 1.6+. If you get 'A Java Exception has occurred' error, update your Java.
CONTROLS:
WASD - Movement.
HOW TO PLAY:
Aim your zombie so that his puke will land on enemies. Keep enemies away from the chests! If all three chests are opened, you lose!
Well. Controls might be better (make walking and shooting separate). IMO, enemies are too strong AI is pretty good tho. And the game well fits the theme
Nice tile map and graphics, generally the game looks really nice. Restarting the game didn't set me to full health. Playing as the monster I felt underpowered. The sounds fit the game well.
I think having separate controls for the shooting direction would make the game more exciting, since you wouldn't just be running away all the time. I like the character designs and the animations.
I noticed a bug where an enemy gets stuck in the door and the level never ends.
I never thought I will write something like that here, but this vomit is too hard to control. Yep, I agree with previous reviewers that there should be separated controls for shooting, but nice try.
For a first Ludum Dare that's not bad at all :-) I like that you managed to create a bit of a mood with simple sprites and music. General feel could be better but that's the kind of aspect that takes days to get right!
It has a bug in it where there is no way to know how long you last after the first round. The second round I lasted 3-4 minutes for sure but then it said, it was 62 seconds. :( Thought it fit the theme well, but the bugs made it hard to give a better score.
Pretty good for a first timer! I'm with everyone else though, would be great if vomiting wasn't in the direction you're facing. And there's probably a few too many bad guys at once, which is why it's a good thing they seem to get stuck on the loot. And the entrance. And each other. Also I think it finally bugged from me when there was (at least one, but probably two or more) enemies stuck at the entrance in a way that they couldn't get out, but I couldn't shoot them.
Don't take all that to say I hated it though; I actually rated it pretty highly. It could just, like most LD entries, use a bit more polish.
I originally tried to make the shooting controlled by arrow keys, but glitched and I did not have time to fix it. Just found a fix for it, enjoy the arrow key controller!
Nice entry for a first! I think the idea was great, just wasn't developed to its full potential thus wasn't as fun as it could be. The graphics and sound are nice though =]
Excellent game! I thought that this game was very good! I picked up the controls and knew exactly what I had to do instantly. This game founds its genius through simplicity. 10/10
It has the beginnings of a good game. You have a good idea, solid gfx, sfx, and a good start on music. It felt like there wasn't really much to it though. Different enemies, more than one "hit" sprite, animation on the vomit, and better/more powerful zombie would be nice to see.
Pretty nice game, well done! Music volume was a bit low compared to the sfx. Would be nice to get upgrades from dead enemies, or gold to buy ugrade in a shop or something. This was pretty fun anyway :)
Nice effort here. I love the pixel art and love the idea! Who hasn't dreamed of protecting their treasure trove by vomiting on intruders, right? I would consider speeding up the gameplay all around: running speed, firing speed, even the music.
IMO, enemies are too strong
AI is pretty good tho. And the game well fits the theme
