Bullet Time by BulletsArePeopleToo

[raw]
made by BulletsArePeopleToo for LD32 (JAM)
They say that Man is the deadliest weapon.

Join Bullet Willy on his heroic quest for vengeance against the crime syndicate that tragically took the lives of so many of his bullet buddies by firing them from their 9mm's.

Use Willy's bazooka (which uses ragdoll humans as ammo) to dole out some poetic justice for all bulletkind. Be sure to pick up the weapon drops and speed powerups to deal with the increasing waves of enemies in this survival shooter.


Controls:

WASD - movement
mouse - turn/aim
left click - fire

Your ammo is represented by hearts , which will refill after a few seconds of not firing depending on the weapon type (since everyone knows human health regenerates rapidly when it is not being depleted).


Change Log:
4/24 - Fixed a bug which caused infinite blood particle generation upon enemy death. Now Willy can survive much longer without unplayable lag.

I like the copious blood effects but they also made the game run slow :<

Having your ammo be represented by hearts was a cute idea given you're shooting people.

It got REALLY laggy after a couple minutes of playing. I also didn't see any of the powerups mentioned. The blood spraying everywhere is pretty funny though - for a moment I thought some guys covered in blood were actually strapped with dynamite or something :P

Pretty good entry. Had a similar idea at the start of the contest.
I like the blood and ragdols. Good work :)
The game starts to slow down on my system after a while, probably due to all the particles.

It's good but it got very laggy when there was a lot of blood on the screen.

Fun turnabout with bullets firing humans. Nice level graphics. Great job!

Wow, okay, now that's something! It's been a while since so much much blood was splattered on my screen, that's for sure! The take of a bullet firing humans is a funny twist and the Bullet Willy's taunts are a riot.

I had a couple of framerate issues, especially when a lot was going on and I have no idea why I got killed, because there's so much pixel gore going on that I couldn't make out any bullets headed my way.

This is really fun. The music is really fitting with the overall rebellion against subtlety. The frame rate is really quite slow for me and if I had to hazard a guess its the multiple realtime lights. I am probably not a good rep for computer power so well see. Good job.

Fun to play. The controls feel a little unresponsive, and there's a noticeable amount of lag later in the game when there are a lot of bleeding bodies on the screen. The animations on the enemies are very well done.

Thanks @internetpaulicy for the tip on the realtime lighting. We removed most of the lighting so it should be significantly less laggy.

Don't call me bill, that was my dads name....

Awesome. A little work on the blood particles and this could be a fun little shooter commercially.

Haha, turning the tables on those damn people! Very clever concept.

Wished you had some sort of way that got rid of the excess blood particles as after a while the game gets unplayable due to lag, which is a big shame because I was having massive amounts of fun shooting bodies at people!

It's a very fun game, but it gets unplayable laggy after some time.
The wilhelm scream is way too loud compared to the rest of the sounds.
Anyway, good job.

Really funny game! Love the concept, and, more than anything, the hilarious little sayings the guy has. "People don't kill people, bullets kill people" was my favorite.

Hey, I would love it if you could give me some pointers on how you did that banana on the guys head. I was trying to get the same thing in my game: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=37149 with hinge joints, but it glitched up when I turned around (flipped the xScale). If you're interrested, feel free to email me at myWumboGames@gmail.com

Loved it, very funny. Gets a little laggy with the powerup that lets you shoot multiple people though.

Quite a solid game with no obvious bugs. There power-ups, however, comes in too slowly, meaning for the most part, I felt the game was very repetitive. If the different weapons and enemies were introduced sooner, I think this could have been a more captivating experience.

It is now proven that "man" is the most dangerous weapon. Good idea and fun to play.

That was...

SPECTACULARLY SATISFYING! I don't know which aspect of the game it was that set it over the top, but I truly enjoyed playing this game.

Yours was a lot of fun. I liked the attention to detail like the recoil and blood splatters that made it a really satisfying game. The funny quips the bullet mentioned throughout the game as well as the ones in your menu system gave the game some personality. Great job!

Pretty awesome. Loved the blood effects. The controls seemed a little floaty, but perhaps that was intentional. Anyway, it was really fun! Loved the take on the theme, and the music. Great job!

Funny idea, interesting reversal of the usual setup. Game is well executed too, the shooting is satisfying, the controls are solid, and the graphics and blood effects are pretty great. Nice music too. Good stuff!
