This is a game about escaping a waste press like room by killing rats and getting keys from them while you are slowly running out of space
How to play:
Action | Key ----------- | ------------------- Walk up | 'W' or 'Arrow up' Walk down | 'S' or 'Arrow down' Walk right | 'D' or 'Arrow right' Walk left | 'A' or 'Arrow left' Shoot | 'Space' Note: You can only shoot if you have collected the gun!
You can destroy the junk pits by shooting at them three times. You have to kill the rats, by shooting at them two times, then they will spawn a key. Collect it by walking over it and once you have collected 13 of them (there is a progress bar in the top left corner) you can escape by simply touching the door at the top middle.
NOTE: Please use the start.sh / start.bat (Instructions on download site) due to performance issues otherwise
CHANGELOG: - Version 1.1: Bug fix (you now only die if you touch both walls) - Version 1.2: Balance changes (more difficult now) - Version 1.3: Fixed a bug because of which the game crashed after restarting - Version 1.4: Bug fixes: The player now only dies if it gets crushed by both walls and the keys no longer stop the bullets - Version 1.5: Fixed a bug because of uploaded the developer version. Sorry for that - Patch: misspelled the jar name so start scripts weren't working - Path2: removed debug-logs - Version 1.6: Fixed keyboard input

Your graphics are cool, but the game is really short, maybe with more level and other gun or with ennemies that can attacked you, the game should be better :) But it's still a good entries
@o2o, I'm sorry if your experience with our game wasn't that good, maybe you want to try it out with the latest patches? @s0rax, The game should be more fun now, thanks for all your feedback, that helped a lot
@o2o thx :3 theres an easter egg hidden in the background, maybe you find them. but i think its not that funny if you are not familiar with youtube germany... and tbh its our first real video game and we kinda ran out of time at the end...
I feel like a 60mb zip might be a lot for people with not so good internet like me, though I don't really mind downloading for a couple of minutes. The game is really cool and i think you did a great job putting it up. gg!
@raffe Thanks for feedback! I don't really know how I could make that zip smaller, there's only the start script and the jar included. Maybe next time we will make the images smaller, we don't use their full resolution in the game
@tulipekoni Thank you! I fixed the FPS to 60 because of older hardware wasn't able to play it lag-free with unfixed FPS, maybe it's a bit choppy because of the play movement, idk. But thanks fro the feedback!
Hey, just played your game! I think the graphics were pretty nice, especially the room and player itself. Rats were not that bad, they serve the purpose :) The only thing I didn't like much is the mechanic of shooting - I can't hold space to do it, I can't press it rapidly to do it, I have to time it in a pretty uncomfortable way to shoot the most bullets. Except for that, it was fine! Good luck!
@isubka, thanks for the feedback, do you mean soething like a camera-shake? I will defenetly remember that when I make the next game, but I am using a very basic enigne (actually my own, written in java , sjgl) and with it, I can't make gfx. But one question: Which enemies do you mean? In our game are no enemies.
@edgelord I was talking about the rats :) Some soft camera shake would be great, yes. Anyway, knowing this is created in your own engine makes it impressive! It's awesome!
Nice graphics. I was a bit shocked because the Music was really, really, really loud but that probably kinda depends on your volume settings... Anyways, a bit to short and quite easy, I tried it 3 times and won all of them.
@major-sauce, thanks for the feedback. I am not using any Engine like unity or Game Maker but my own Java library and I havn't figured out how to change sound volume in Java but I probably could have exported the Music a bit less loud, but as you said, 72h aren't that long for taking care of such a small issue... XD
I like the idea of this game and it fits the theme well. However, you should add more levels. The gameplay is also very nice. Had fun playing it! :thumbsup:
@hexkritor , Thanks for the feedback, that's a very nice and clean list, thanks! It's kind of funny that there is "Short game" in Pluses and "Too short game" in Minuses, but I now what you mean. The sounds my be weird because they where one of the last things we made, I think an hour or so before realease and they are actually not created by us. @loooneliest took them from the internet and I did not know which Sound he meant for which action and so I just guessed. And the thinks with the shooting is, that I am using only my own java library and I have to fix the input, thats already on my TODO-List. Thanks for that quality feedback :)
Hey @aterlamia@outstar@hexkritor I fixed the keyboard input, shooting is now way better, you can hold down space and the keyboard was generally improved in my engine thanks to your feedback. Maybe you want to give the game another try?

I like that robot.It's cute!background is also COOL
and tbh its our first real video game and we kinda ran out of time at the end...
thank you for the feedback ^^
I think that having a bit higher fps wouldn't hurt. It's a little hard. solid entry tho. good job!
Great game, if it was a bit longer it would be even better! :smile:
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)
Anyways, a bit to short and quite easy, I tried it 3 times and won all of them.

Pluses

It's kind of funny that there is "Short game" in Pluses and "Too short game" in Minuses, but I now what you mean.
