Ludum Dare #56compo
Yeet them all !
You find yourself in a strange, gigantic world full of dangers.
Yet, you remember the old tale of an astronaut, who, having crashed on alien planets multiple times, managed to survive by making friends with tiny, colored creatures, which helped him and fellow astronauts gathering resources from flowers and monsters, eventually rebuilding their ship to fly home.
So, you decide to give it a try. You too, can make friends with weird critters hatching from flowers, and forcefully hurl them on every single obstacle you might encounter ! The critters will love you for being used as weapons.
So, Yeet them all ! (sorry) is a sort of score-attack shoot-em-up, obviously inspired by Pikmin (or The Wonderful 101), playable with a mouse or, better, a touch screen on your mobile phone !
- click briefly to move,
- once you've gathered some friends, click and drag in any direction you'd like !
You will encounter crates, land mines and nasty worms. If you yeet a friend to them, it will bounce and maybe hit more obstacles on its way, increasing your score multiplier for this yeet (is that a noun too ?)
Can you get el famoso S-rank on the three levels ?
Once you have a nice trail of small critters following you, your Fever meter will build up when you perform combos. Fill it to start a Fever Time and watch your now invicible friends become killing machines, bouncing even farther !
The game was made with Construct 3 and the sound & music with FL Studio.
I hope you enjoy playing it and yeeting stuff as much as I enjoyed tinkering around this lovely LD theme !

Congratulations dude, excellent game.
Oh also... THE FEVER MODE is just great. And that's nice that you don't tell anything about it (if I remember well ^^), because I got positively surprised haha
Also, it doesn't feel like a tiny creatures game.
Could also be the crates that make it feel off since I think of crates as larger objects.
Super satisfying use of sound particularly with the shot bounces and end of level ranking.
Love to see an actual fleshed out scoring system as well.
Sometimes it was a little unclear what was happening, e.g. when enemies were hitting your non-fired critters, just a lot of sounds and stuff firing off at once.
Awesome job!
I played using a mouse, and while I enjoyed the experience, I found that managing multiple actions with just the mouse—like moving by clicking while also needing to click to attack—felt a bit challenging. However, this could just be a personal preference.
As has been mentioned, having the "Shoot" and "Move" with the same input made it a bit hard sometimes. But that'd be my only nitpick.
Keep up the awesome work!
@samuel-fine on Chrome on Android, you can install the game on home screen when you navigate to its URL. Maybe it also works on iPhone too ?
The game looks and feels rather polished. What didnt suit me is the aiming direction... but that's due to mouse input rather than touch (therefore understandable).
Edit: Wwayy better on PC :laughing:
The music was catchy, cool art style, and landing crazy combos was satisfying!
A little bit strange (for me) that u need to click for moving. I always tryed to move with holding mouse button)
@f1tzy it's a bug that occurs on Firefox, maybe switch to Chrome for this game ? (btw I'm a Firefox user too)
@crocidb noted, I may write this in the future. I generally manage my time the same way in every jam.
