Hi again everyone, we're back for our second game jam!
This time we have decided to work on a first person shooter.
Since @pigeonic's instagram feed has been full of weird abstract memes (especially shrimps) we took it as inspiration for our ludum dare game. In this game, you're playing as a guy who ate a lot of shrimps at a picnic. Unbeknownst to him, one of the shrimps were bad and he ended up having a weird food nightmare from which he has to escape. Shoot all the creatures to wake up!

Programming and level design: Pigeonescu
Art and sound: Pigeonic

Programs used:
Godot 4
Blender, Photoshop
Audacity, ableton live
We've also used (https://textures.neocities.org/) for some textures

Controls
W A S D move
SPACE jump
SHIFT sprint
C crouch
SHIFT + C slide
1, 2 weapon select
LEFT CLICK shoot

Genres: shooter

Tools: Audacity, Blender, Godot

Really cool graphics, love the 2D weapons in hand in the 3d world, the tree textures were really nice as well!

wow the music really created a dark atmo haha - fantastic idea.

The enemy sprites remind me all original DOOM for some reason. :)

The shrimp :shrimp: mobs are so weird and awesome. From above they look like synchronized swimmers. I would have enjoyed being able to move faster and for the shrimp to be easier to kill. I felt ineffectual, which maybe is the point, but it's not exactly fun. :sweat_smile: Nice entry!

Every now and then, I'll have video game nightmares, dreams where nothing quite makes sense, but I'm playing a game I cannot seem to win or succeed at.

You seem to have ported that experience into my waking life, so congrats on that. I am deeply unnerved.

Quite the showing for a second game jam! Interesting being able to swap between cutscene and gameplay. My machine struggled to run this game at certain angles.

I liked the concept a lot, and I can tell you put a lot of thought into the details of how this game plays, great work! I tried twice and both times when I got to around 300 points the game lagged so hard I had a hard time closing the tab. The other thing that would be nice is to see where the bullet drop-off was. Great work, and keep on making games!

I like their language and very interesting music as well! I died and I didn't understand why, and i had to watch the first video again, which took a while. Probably needs checkpoints - but idea is very cool!

This was a crazy dream of a game to play. I'll probably dream this later, very surreal and one of my favourites so far. Them laughing shrimps are still echoing in my mind lol. Nice work!

khaotom8 Oct 2024, 04:48

Heck yea! Weird and wonderful!

YaYaGame8 Oct 2024, 11:26

A fascinating idea, opening up my mind.

HangoverGames8 Oct 2024, 11:46

I had similar trip recently, nice visuals and a crazy idea, congrats on release!

THIS GAME ARE UNBELIVBLE!

Alexs8 Oct 2024, 14:12

What a nice shrimple little game, quite humorous. The gun could have been shrimp themed ;) Nice!

RoBOT8 Oct 2024, 14:15

Interesting game. Would be great to change the mouse sensitivity. I was slightly confused when the game just suddenly ended, while I was in the middle of shooting some shrimp. I love the graphics style and the sound of attacking with the melee shrimp is just fantastic. Nice work!

Kirass8 Oct 2024, 17:37

I really liked this game! It's awesome!

SvenErik8 Oct 2024, 19:54

Lovey art style, really digged the overall aesthetics, wish it was a tiny bit longer,but still marvelous work, loved it!

Pachino559 Oct 2024, 05:24

Super cool game, would recommend

Alem2610 Oct 2024, 08:22

Very very interesting and unusual game. Love the humor of it!
Got really laggy tho pretty quickly tho which made it not possible to finish entirely for me. Something might be wrong with the little shrimps.

I do appreciate the idea nonetheless!

Pimping11 Oct 2024, 18:05

I like shrimps, but game about shrimp even more

Max0n4ik11 Oct 2024, 18:16

So cool. nice game)

Samuli12 Oct 2024, 11:04

Loved the art! Very shrimpy! Gunplay could use more feedback on hits, but it was enjoyable shrimpage nevertheless.

Exa12 Oct 2024, 11:09

Wow it is so beautiful!!!Fantastic job!!

Simun18212 Oct 2024, 11:09

Played this game so much, I might start tripping irl.

JamieOK16 Oct 2024, 18:23

Intro cutscene definitely had me laughing. I can respect any game born from a cursed instagram feed. I liked the 2D weapons in a 3D scene, it felt Doom or Quake-esque. The gunplay could definitely use a bit more feedback, as I felt the player's movement speed was a lot slower once inside the basket compared to the speed in the intro, which was a bit disappointing. A cool and trippy entry, hope you enjoyed the jam!

weiiiiiiiiird

irwatts23 Oct 2024, 20:41

Strange vibe with this one and I dig it! Love the 2D art on top of the 3D. Nice work on the intro cinematic too. Game feel could be improved with bullet impacts and movement speed tuning, but it was still fun.

Loved it ! One of the games I'll like to see released !
