So polished! :D\r\rGraphics, audio and control-wise it's really well made and adorable, and the use of theme is superb!\r\rI've played only on single player, but I feel that playing this on multiplater must be AWESOME! Nice Work! :3"}],"images":["ld32\/50680-8603169d7969e0e737682b5d706f0246.jpg","ld32\/50680-291aa60b8e3d6a7f99f43898e258eaf2.jpg","ld32\/50680-7a5a6fe62840ab2396c81bd0ce13cac0.jpg","ld32\/50680-bb8bfeb38237e19bc3f1064945cf9c80.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.darkwindmedia.com\/SuperSALTHelmet\/Webplayer\/SuperSALTHelmet.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/xsyfka60dlhse5v\/SuperSALTHelmet_Winx86.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/avbyhovzm5qpd1z\/SuperSALTHelmet_OSX.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/tvvgcbq6no8kzm9\/SuperSALTHelmet_Linux.zip","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"12358","g_author":"50680","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"12388","g_title":"Super SALT Helmet","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"21","g_commentcount":"88","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50680-shot0-1429577524.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50680-shot1-1429577525.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50680-shot2-1429577525.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/50680-shot3-1429577300.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Slugs. In space. Conflict. Salt.\r\n\r\nThis is the world of Super SALT Helmet!\r\n\r\nIn this fast paced arena game, you play as a space slug struggling to be the last man standing. Evaporate your opponents by launching your salty chrome dome into their bodies! Battle 1 - 4 friends locally or against the computer to earn total space domination! Let's get salty!\r\n\r\nDISCLAIMER: While the game supports 1 - 4 players simultaneously on a single keyboard, we strongly suggest using controllers. Some keyboards cannot process more than 6 keys simultaneously and this can affect gameplay. Also, the linux build is untested.\r\n\r\nGame design, art, code and audio was created by Darkwind Media and friends during the 32nd Ludum Dare game jam, April 2015. Thanks for playing!","title":"Super SALT Helmet"}
