Spitballin' by chaotikZA

[raw]
made by chaotikZA for LD32 (JAM)
The only thing worse than being stuck in a desert in the Old West, is being stuck in a desert in the old west after some varmints stole your chewing tobacco! Go get it back!

Controls:
Move: A&D / Left Arrow & Right Arrow
Jump: Space Bar
Shoot: Left Mouse Button / Left Ctrl

We suggest NOT running in fullscreen mode as there's a bug going to the game over screen if you die.

Testing was only on Windows. Linux & Mac OSX courtesy of Unity (fingers crossed that it works).

EDIT:
-Fixed the jumping issues
-Fixed menu title text

Spacebar wouldn't jump for me. so I couldn't get past the first crate. Like the art though!

Spacebar wouldnt jump for me either (OSX Build). Saw this game being developed from start to finish. Really good job on the final result. Love the sounds!

Great out of the box idea. Nice artwork, animations, and sound effects. PS: Spacebar to jump seems to work for me OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Spacebar working randomly on Windows 8. The game seems to be fun, but the jumping glitch didn't let me go too far.

Tip: your checking for the jumpbutton in the Update(), but only performing the jump in FixedUpdate(). The solution is to set your jump variable to true when the button is pressed and only set it to false when the jump is performed in the FixedUpdate()

The game seems a bit unfinished, but otherwise quite fun.
Liked the sound of spiting :)
The graphics are nice.

I love the idea! However, I did find it to be very short. I wish there were more levels or a boss fight.

It was hard to see where I was going to shoot, it'd be nice to have an indicator that shows how the spit's going to move. Spacebar worked for me, but only sometimes. The spit sound was really gross and funny!

Seems to work fine on Ubuntu 14.04

I find the game difficult to control - the key mapping is unusual and uncomfortable and the physics are not solid enough.
I like the art.

Very unique idea, but the spit was hard to aim! and that last jump was a bit tricky to make, definitely an unconventional weapon though and a great concept!

The spitting sounds were truly something... I could feel it right in the back of my throat. Yum!

Couldn't jump. But the game looks good!

A bit too short to my taste, but it’s cute and enjoyable. Thanks for providing a Linux version! I would have given you points for graphics, too, if you had allowed it, because they’re definitely better than many other entries!

Sprites and animations were decent. Ideas were fleshed out.

Oh my goodness that sound effect is everything.

That sound when preparing your spitball is just nasty :D
The controls seemed a bit floaty to me. In the current state the game is lacking some challenge.
