Vikea by AtomicVikings

[raw]
made by AtomicVikings for LD32 (JAM)
It's Black Friday and your viking wife wants to go to IKEA... I'm sorry, VIKEA.
The problem is, you're not alone.

More vikings are storming to VIKEA to do their purchases. You'll have to fight for the items your wife wants you to buy.

To win the game, fetch all the items on the list in the lower right corner and deliver them to your longboat - Remember you can only carry one item at a time.

This game is done with Java from scratch.

!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to install Java 1.8

!! If you having problems with playing the web version please download the "desktop" - client. Thx !!

Controls:

- Press 'E' to throw your current item.
- Left-Mouse-Button to swing it at them.
- WASD or arrows for movement
- ESC is moving you to the menu

Saw you guys rated my game and I was like oh yeah the Atomic Vikings, I should play their game. However for some reason when I played the whole map was black but I could see the shopping list and health bar. However I did hear the music which was very good. Let me know if you find the issue.

P.S. I'm on a windows 7 laptop thats slightly old

LOL! I love this idea, there was blood everywhere, and the wifey is just sitting outside waiting for me to get all the stuff! Hilarious. A little buggy from time to time, the keys seem to lock up. I think it would be easier if u had a little picture of the item ur looking for on the shopping list. But overall a lot of fun, Nicely done.

The music is awesome! I couldn't get it to run very smoothly. It was choppy even on a fresh browser.

It's great idea, but i really didn't like art style you went with. Some items were very hard to recognise and the walls looked very much like floor. But the music is very nice and fighting other vikings in shoping center is fun :)

Very good overall, lots of the items I needed sometimes seem to spawn outside the room, which was annoying, but other than that, awesome game!

Hm.. this is even stranger. I tried the windows version but after I choose to run it with java nothing happens. The screen never shows up. :/ This is really weird because I my game was .jar too and it works for me.

@SuperHamer: We have used Java 1.8. Maybe this is the issue?

Music was awesome, I did have a hard time playing because something seemed to "take control" of my character, which was very frustrating.
