Epic Chainsaw Dash
Screenshot (38)1.png
Trees are falling down for some reason, so of course you have to cut thru them with your epic chainsaw!!
FEATURING:
- CHAINSAWS!
- TREES!
- EXPLOSIONS!
- bugs
- AND MUCH MORE!
A game that never ends because I didn't program win/lose conditions!
this is my first ludum dare pls be gentle <3
it was pretty brutal to make, I worked solo and ended up losing a ton of time figuring out how RigidBody works (normally I always used Kinematic instead) as well as dealing with a lot of other small things that I took too long to workaround.
On top of that I could not free up as much time as I hoped to and so ended up working only ~30 hours of the 72 possible hours :(
bad news is this is nowhere near the level of polish I was aiming for
good news is I learned a lot of new stuff :)!

Oh man - "ended up losing a ton of time figuring out how RigidBody works" - My thoughts exactly. It was also my first foray into learning how Godot implemented Ridigbody2D physics.
Don't be too hard on yourself, though! Gamejams are all about learning. This is only my second jam, and my skills with Godot are way more than they would be with any tutorial series. I am sure you can resonate with that.
Either way, regarding the game, it feels great! It's just dumb fun. The animations, the screen shake, and just jumping around is a fun little sandbox for a few minutes. It wouldn't take much to develop this into something more game-like, and you've already made a start!

Such a hilarious game and fantastic concept - I loved being a chainsaw, just destroying everything I touch. The movement didn't feel completely smooth or manageable, and I wanted more direction and objectives, but it's still a blast to play.

This is an awesome little game for a jam! Congrats and well done for learning along the way keep it up :)
