Ludum Dare to save your mom! by kill0u
* Ludum Dare (to give a game, in latin) to save ur mom! *
Use your game as a weapon!
I did not want to force my game into an action weapon-related game, only changing the weapon for something grotesque.
So.. how could you define weapon differently?I went for "something to get rid of who's annoying you" (or, in this case, someone dear to you).
Synopsis:
Your [old] dear mother is tired of all the youngsters in her small town. She can't even go around town to do some basic stuff. Sorry for her, you do what you can to help her: you create an awesome game for the Ludum Dare and give it to all those youngsters so that they stay at home and don't bother your mother any more.
/!\ The game is played in two phases, and only the second has the so-called "weapon"!
- Day
You play grandma, and try to go to some determined places while avoiding all those annoying youngsters. But there's too many of them! D=
- Night
At night, you play the coder and go to the houses deliver your game, avoiding cops (they think you're *robbing* the poor kids!) and such. Each "corrupted" kid will be too busy to come again next days, giving grandma much more space.
I initially entered for the compo, but bloo joined me on sunday & monday night to give a hand with the graphics; there was so much more to do than I thought at first D=

This game is very good, had some good fun playing this :D.
The trill of guiding granny back home and a car by this little |.| miss you is... WOOOOO that was close.
At first i was a bit disoriented by the amount of people on screen, but once i understood how to use the grandson i started laughing by my SUPREME INTELLIGENCE :D.
Cool concept and realization, good use of the theme.
Good graphic and music.
Good mood as i said, maybe the kind of game don't speak thrill, but it thrilled me :D
I didn't get it why some tasks are already marked as done at the start if you have to do them again the next day. o.0
I did have a problem with the font being difficult to read though. I think for the instructions, it would be good if they were given in a font which allows easier reading.
Really great audio in the game.
