My first "finished" project in Unity and for Ludum Dare.
A very raw and basic game where you play a pair of running legs on a collision course with some pillars. If you run into a pillar, your speed decreases by a large amount. By holding spacebar, you perform a kick, during which you avoid this major decrease, but suffer a minor one dependent on the amount of time you hold down the button. The idea is to press spacebar immediately before colliding with a pillar and release it immediately afterwards to minimize the overall speed penalty.
If you slow to a halt, the game ends. It also ends if you get far enough. If you get to the red pillar, that's the end.
Please let me know if anything is especially broken.
I see you put most of your time into the artwork. It's very funny and I wish there was a bit more to the game itself.
The concept is not bad and I did like it. I just feel like the collision boxes have a bit of an unfortunate placement. Because of the hectic movement of the legs I could never tell when the last moment to hit Space was. Sometimes I even got hit by the pillar when I felt like I was still a good few feet away.
I tried it a few times and only got to 0.23 something. Please don't tell me I should be getting to > 1. Then I must really suck.
It's not bad nonetheless. Just needed a bit more polish.
The finish line is around .33 furlongs in. It's very hard to reach, though, because I didn't have a lot of time to playtest and made some hasty changes last minute. A lot of this was a crap shoot to be honest. I agree with you about the collision boxes.
Dunno why, but I got a real David Lynch vibe playing this. Loved the artwork and the dialogue. I would've liked to have have seen a bit more smack talk from the legs!
