Happy ! by Yamzho
Here is my entry to the 32nd Ludum Dare : HAPPY !
The unconventional weapons you gonna use are hugs and love cans ! Yes, that's right, you will have to spread happiness ! ;)
I have used Eclipse IDE for Java, Gimp, As3sfxr and ChipTone. I also have been blogging (in French) during the competition there: gamejams.yamzho.net !
Controls for the game:
- Arrows (or WASD) to move around
- 1 to hug the nearest angry person (if you're close enough)
- 2 to drop a love can (more powerful than a hug)
- 3 to be shielded for few seconds, preventing every happiness loss

Nice.
I like the concept of changing to smile. : )
There may be a little bit too many enemies spawning too quickly though, but that makes for a good challenge!
It lagged a lot on my system though (Linux)
It would've also helped a lot to have some sort of meter representing the cooldown on your other attacks. The can seems to be the best way to deal with the angry guys, but it takes a long time to charge and I really have no idea when I'll get another one.
The game's pretty fun to play though. I could see myself killing a little time with it on my phone.
