Ludum Dare #60compo
Coup of Appliance
Hi! I made this game for Ludum Dare 60!
This is my take on the theme “old tech”
Once you have enough old tech in your home, it's only a matter of time before they decide to break in one day together. So imagine what would happen if they all decided to break in on the same day. How would you react to it? Isn't it a coup against your sanity?
The game describes such an event in a light JRPG style, since I recently played a lot of them and wanted to do something cool. The game doesn't contain any level system or skill tree, it just gives you what you need to endure such an event and not be overwhelmed by the game design.
How to play?
- Use WASD/ARROWS to move between rooms.
- During battle, use WASD/ARROWS or the MOUSE to navigate.
- I recommend searching stashes of items during exploration. It may help you with the final boss.
- If you get bored, try cheat with F1.

I have nothing to complain. The visuals are stylish, the characters nicely done and the music very fitting. The story and the end boss was also done very well. I found the difficulty perfect, although you have a lot of items, but thats fine for a jam game.
The controls feel very good. The fights work very well.
I like the detail, that some characters comment on things like the penguin did. What I also really adore is the humor in this game. Starting with the alarm with it's beep attacks down to Jesus Christ. :D
Excellent game, congrats!
But the truth is, the only way I can describe this game is with this
( I mean this as a complement )
Either way, incredible presentation in general. My only complaint is that the final boss was kind of a pushover. Add jesus into the mix ( lol btw ) and that final fight became a little dissappointing from a gameplay standpoint. It was absolutely hilarious none the less, but I think the final boss could've done with some sort of attack that did damage to everyone maybe.
That aside, very fun and interesting game which had me both intrigued about what it would throw at me next, along with having me laugh my head off
