READ FIRST
I did not include instructions in game nor instructions of what you need to play, ill give them here:
WHAT YOU NEED
Windows:
* OpenAL (included in the zip)
* .NET Framework 4.0 or later
* Im not sure what else.
Linux (Works on Ubuntu, others idk)
* Install Mono (http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/)
* Im not sure what else.
KNOWN ERRORS
* Windows: Low sound
* Windows: If exit the application, will give you an error, just ignore it.
* Windows: Antivirus see the .exe as a Spyware, Trojan or whatever. (not really a bug but some people have problems with this)
* Linux: There is a bug with OpenTK where you cant resize the screen resolution, so the screen in linux is smaller (800x480 default).
* OpenTK missing (?)
INSTRUCTIONS
Its a game about killing a big anomaly on a storage facility with spoons.
You start on the center of the storage place with nothing.
* After 2 -3 seconds the anomaly will spawn in the center SO GET FAR FROM THE CENTER AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE
* If You get close to the anomaly your health will go down.
* The anomaly follows you and if he gets close to any box it will be destroyed.
* Boxes drop coins and spoons.
* There is no spoon or coin indicators.
* You shoot spoons (if you have any) with LEFT CLICK and Aim with the mouse.
* You move with the WASD keys.
* The anomaly shoots you with balls of acid and if hit with something the surface around will have acid and if you step on it you will lose your health.
* The anomaly also shoots some kind of bomb, but that only destroys boxes.
* There is a health bar on top, it is for the anomaly, your health bar is on the character.
* On the top right will appear some images, this indicate that you have enough coins to buy any of the 3 things that can appear.
- The first one is 1 spoon for 1 coin (Press 1 to buy this)
- The second 25 coins to restore 20 of your health (Press 2 to buy this)
- The last one is 50 coins and removes all the acid on the place. (Press 3 to buy this)
FINAL NOTES
I started making games for Ludum Dare since it was the number 22... so its been 10 games haha. I learned a lot, this time i tried to develop on linux only and started to use Gimp, the other LD games where made on windows and Pain.NET. For me its not a competition anymore, it is a place to experiment and learn. My games are not very good because i tried to experiment with my code and learn new techniques.
This LD was special for me, the game is very simple but its special because i didn't not give up.... i have some complications right now and i was about to drop everything and explode (no really explode), cant eat, want to sleep all the time, cried a lot, big mess (well not really big stuff but really puts me down)... but for some reason i didn't give up... i wanted to make a complex game but because of the problem i had to cut some stuff... but still, something was pushing me to continue and i just finished my game, and i feel very good now.
Remember guys, never give up, LD teach me not to give up... you have try... You have to fight the complications to reach your goal.
Hope you guys learned something and had fun making your games, have a Good Day/Night to all (: greetings from Mexico.

Nice game! Really very cool.
By the way, you can put (possibly self-compiled) openal32.dll near the .exe instead of asking us to install it.
It took some time to understand mechanics (as i was like" ho green, this seems good. Why do i keep on dying ?") and i couldn't even defeat him :/
Ha, and I read instructions when the game is closed all the time so i just saw the coins use explained here.I'll try it again, buying stuff this time :)
Cheers!
Hang in there buddy! We all have our bad times, I'm glad you were able to overcome it ^^~
