Freakish Revolution by vini60

[raw]
made by vini60 for LD32 (COMPO)
BEHOLD MY FIRST LUDUM DARE GAME !!
FREAKISH REVOLUTION

USE ANY BROWSER OTHER THAN CHROME FOR WEB VERSION.

As you could tell (I hope) the game is set in the french revolution (18th century) and the character you control possesses a very weird gun, it's called an unconventional weapon. This weapon turns the french soldiers into crazy stuff if charged.

There's a chance it will affect you, if not fully loaded.

To charge your gun, kill enemies !!

------------------------------------------------
Controls:

- WASD or ARROW KEYS : Movement
- Space : Action
- Z/X : Change between guns.

------------------------------------------------
Unconventional Weapon:

- The more charged it is, higher the chance it will effect the enemy in an UNCONVENTIONAL way.
- The less charge, more change it will UNCONVENTIONALY affect YOU !

------------------------------------------------
Spear:

-The spear will damage the enemy if you have some speed.

------------------------------------------------
Musket:

-The musket has 10 shots, you can pick ammo from dead enemies.


URGENT patch 1:

-Absolutely no changes in gameplay.
-MAJOR FIX, could only jump with UP ARROW, now the W key is also a jump key.
-Fixed bullet would hit enemy but no sound comming out.
-Fixed enemy could see through obstacles.

Late Build 1:
-Web version of the game added. (Don't use google chrome)

Nice idea about the unconventionality charge :) Needs some polishing, though.

Not super fun since the gameplay is limited, but i really enjoy the audio that was included. wasd to move, but the only way to jump is to use the up key. Graphics and all, it's really good :P

Was cool, but very very unbalanced. I was only ever able to survive for more than 3 enemies with the instakill spear, the enemies have pretty much an aimbot. I managed to use the unconventional weapon once and would be a nice touch. Maybe work on the ai a bit, and make the guns stronger and the spear less strong it could be great! I loved the graphics and the audio was very retro

Not that much to play with, but no glitches and it's very playable

This is a fine first LD entry. Good work actually submitting one. You probably should put a disclaimer in your text description that you have to use the arrow keys to jump. I nearly gave up on the game thinking I was stuck between the first boxes and the first cart. Then I saw a comment down here mentioning it. Also, is it possible to turn the player into an animal or something? I tried firing the Unconventional Gun several times with no charge but nothing seemed to happen. All in all it is playable, looks pretty decent and meets the theme. Well done.

I couldn't leave the starting area. Besides that, great.

Can't launch the Mac app. No errors, nothing happens.

MAC FIX:

Open the terminal and type:

chmod +x /Users/mcowan/Downloads/Freakish\ Revolution\ Mac\ OS\ X/freakish\ revolution.app/contents/MacOS/Freakish\ Revolution

(your exact path may differ, adjust as needed)

Not sure why the program wasn't set executable when Unity generated it or whatever...

Decent game. Feels like the bullet collision doesn't take sometimes, like for the "unconventional" weapon, even when I'm fully charged. But the gameplay's pretty solid (though there's not much to it). Nice job!

I liked the special gun a lot. Nothing like turning your foes into random objects. Honestly I think that it would have been better without the more normal weapons though. No sense diluting the greatness.

Try the web version if you get errors.

The physics are kind of janky and it seemed to drop a lot of inputs. Also, sometimes the unconventiality gun didn't seem to have any affect.

Fun idea, though. I like the revolution theme going on.

First Ludum Dare, Awesome!

The controls are crazy, you need to fine tune those down. Jumping is ridiculous, and movement doesn't feel too crisp. The contacts and controls don't have much for feedback. The graphics are pretty nice

Pretty fun, and a funny concept with the unconventionality. Controls felt a little sloppy, but they got the job done. I shot a man next to a wagon and he became another wagon.

The spear is a beast! I shot a dozen people with the unconventional weapon and it never did anything even at full charge. Maybe I was just unlucky?

Musket battles were very period accurate. We both stood in a line and shot at each other. :)

That fun for a bit, needs some polish to be more enjoyable though.
