This LD, I was going solo, so I decided to go Compo. Then about 24 Hours in, I got a few game-breaking issues that I had no idea how to fix (I spent 12 hours trying to fix them yikes). So I ended up remaking it and going for Jam, which is the game that I have now. There are quite a few bugs still that I haven't been able to fix in time (I'll try to update it ASAP so people can actually play).
Game:
Harsh Life as a Peasant is a puzzle-TBS game involving fighting strong chickens with your troops to win.
Controls:
Mouse - Push border to move the camera Left Click - Click on an ally character to select it. This displays the stats on the bottom right aswell. Then Click on an empty spot or enemy character to move there or attack them. Moving consumers as many hunger as squares moved, and if you run out of hunger, your character dies. Killing a character grants their remaining hunger to the killer, so you can keep moving. When a character dies, a gravestone comes down that blocks the way. Clicking on a gravestone pushes it.
I think I ran into the attack state bug after I killed the 2 chickens. Really nice pixel work, I think with some bug fixes and some polish you could make a really fun minigame here.
@flat-anchor Thanks! Yeah I cant seem to see the problem with the attack state bug (as I got it towards the last few hours which was quite a shock). I've been working hard at it to try fix it (so you can play it). The overall concept of the idea was for it to be more of a puzzle game, where you have to be careful about where you kill things (or have your peasants sacrificed, so you dont block yourself off). Though I wasn't able to make level design in time with all the bugs surrounding the attack state bug. Thanks for feedback btw!
This is a really cool idea, and the pixel art is on point!
Did run into the attack state bug which kept me from being able to see everything that the game had to offer - will keep an eye on things and give this another try if you do get a chance to get a new build up.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been really caught up with school so I haven't been able to focus on fixing the bug, though holidays in two days so will try to fix it then!
