Pie Day Revenge by Supernovadx

[raw]
made by Supernovadx for LD32 (JAM)
You are a Clown Who has had enough of your job. It's time for revenge before the police show up.

Made in Game Maker
I made all the "Assets" except for the smoke one.

Controls:
Arrow Keys = Move
Mouse = Aim
Mouse Click = Shoot
Mouse Click Hold = Longer Shoot

Please keep in mind when voting for audio. I did not make the music.

I made all the sound effect myself on a microphone.
^^That was a lot of fun^^

Certainly interesting! It's annoying that the people run faster than the pies, I have to pin everyone against a wall to hit them at all. The graphics could of course use some improvement. At some point one of the people lodged themselves in a wall in the maze section, not sure how to recreate it.

No wonder why you didn't chose to be rated on graphics, altough it's nice programmer art. I like the different settings you placed for chasing the people (rooms, labyrinth...), and the SFX you recorded with your voice (I laughed with the "swooooooooosh" when you charge your pie launch).

I really like the sound of the pies hitting things... that was aesthetically very pleasing. I wish I could rate you on audio! Quirky and fun, well done! :)

I played a few times and it was fun. congrats on completing. things i liked:
- the music (it's psycho :))
- the pie fall distance
- the people running away from you and pies
- fairly tactical about corners

suggestion: more walls and corners :)

Nice little game. I would try and put the directional keys as WASD though, as it was very hard to control

My favorite tactic was definitely trapping people in the corner.

The most people I've been able to pie in one round is 68. with 199 pies thrown.

Haha really satisfying herding the people into a corner and pie'ing them all. Really fun start here. Good job!

I don't know why but it made me a little uncomfortable ^^. It's all so cheery but you just mass murder people. Anyways, controls are tight, layout is good, but I feel that the enemy behaviour is a bit simple, and it gets a bit annoying to only have the option of cornering them in a corner to pie them. Maybe some way to improve your pie throwing skills could be cool?

I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm enjoying it.

Creepy but fun !
I'd love a terrorized crowd sound when you approach a group of people :-)

Very interesting concept, the music really suited the game considering the story to it :P Gameplay was very smooth and fun! definitely lots of potential in this concept.

Hehe, pretty good. In particular, the various options of pie throwing based on duration held. Though I was kind of hoping that the final variant would hit multiple clustered people in one shot. Herd them into a corner and then get them all at once.

The flee AI felt nicely done. They flee early enough to be irritating to catch, but not so early that they're easy to herd. That they even flee from long range pies themselves was a nice touch.

Scattering powerups around the level could add more interest. Temporarily get a different type of pie. Or charge up pies more quickly. Or have a longer scare radius to make herding easier, or a shorter scare radius to sneak up close to people. Or move more quickly, or other people move more slowly. Et cetera.
