Beach Brawl

Thanks to early feedback...

Balimaar sends apologies to the internet world for overlooking this. I have uploaded a new WebGL version to the site. Nothing has been changed since the original submission. Just the player view has been resized to fit with this website's restrictions.

For the best experience, Balimaar recommends using the downloadable files if at all possible.

Firstly a Note from my team mate for this Ludum Dare!

Biz: No gulls were harmed in the making of this game. I am overjoyed by our results. I didn't expect to feel so proud of our little game, but I am, and I am all the more excited to participate in future Jams.
This theme inspired us to create a game with a swarm of enemies filling the screen and invading your space... like a certain classic arcade game.

How Balimaar Feels About this Ludum Dare

The extra day really helped not to mention Bizzybee's amazing contributions with art and sound. I deeply appreciate her efforts! It saved me a lot of time that I invested in making the game run smoother.
I also decided to take the Limited Space theme a bit more hardcore in one respect and I aimed to write this game with fewer than 6500 characters. I'm glad that I have managed to achieve that - just - with the character count coming in at 6211.
I decided to use Unity for this Ludum Dare as the debacle had occurred far too late for me to consider learning another engine in time. Future LD entries are going to be in Godot or Unreal.

All in all I am very happy with what this team has achieved with just the two of us and I look forward to LD 55!!

About Beach Brawl

Introducing my second Ludum Dare game and first as part of a team, Beach Brawl!

In this game you play as a beach goer determined to have a good picnic. Unfortunately as you arrive, you see a dark cloud gathering and a series of bird cries.
Setting down your towel and your basket full of sandwiches, you gather shells together... it seems the sea gulls are coming... and they are after your carefully prepared picnic lunch!
Armed with only the beach shells and your skills at shuffling from side to side... you must defend yourself and your sandwiches from the seagull threat.
