Cortes vs. The Aztecs
This was my first game jam. I've wanted to do one for a while but wasn't free during many of the previous events.
I finally have some time off and decided to give this one a go.
Based on the theme of "Sacrifices must be made", I decided that the player would play as Hernan Cortes (a blue cube with a fancy hat) fending off hordes of Aztecs (red, green, and purple cubes) seeking to sacrifice themselves to the Gods (who I didn't have time to implement). The idea being this was their last ditch effort to defeat Cortes.
I had a lot of fun making this game and I got further than I thought I would, I also realised I need to tame my feature creep...
Sadly I didn't have time to make any music, or sound, or a main menu, or a tutorial, or a bunch of other stuff... But there's some mechanics!
Definitely going to carry on with this project after the voting, but now I think I'll hibernate for the week.
Controls:
- WASD to move
- Mouse to aim
- P to restart
- Alt+F4 exits
Genres: shooter

@nekonyo Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!!
I had a few half finished models that I wanted to add, but couldn't get them working in time. I do intend to finish them off and make this into something though, so I guess that's something to take away too!!
Music was something I wasn't confident about, I'm primarily a programmer, so I left it until the last minute... then didn't have time :laughing:
Just played your game and left some feedback, really like the music!!

Thanks, it was my first song made. I only worked for a few minutes to see Bosca Ceoil long time ago. So this Ludum Dare I went for making some songs. But it took like 6~10 hours for all sound effects
- export a file with all the files the exe, etc. when I unpack the rar that would be cleaner.
- Fix the bug that allows me to run away of the map.
- Give a clear goal and a limit of sacrifices you can allow.
- Improve the graphics and music.
Even all those improvements that can be made the best of your game is the idea behind the shooter and the particles effect you worked on. At least, it gives some extra feedback 😄
