Ripley by k8n

[raw]
made by k8n for LD31 (JAM)
The game is inspired by Carpenter's movie and King's book with a small reference to 'Alien'. The idea was to turn the bots into aliens at night, but due to the limited amount of time it didn't happen. So what is left is this:

You play for a bearded tough guy with a flame-thrower. You have some assistants, but they are quite dumb and die nearly immediately. It's only you, snow and Ripley crawling at you from all directions. You have to survive for 4 days before the help will come. To do so you have:
* to eat
* to make a fire and to warm yourself
* not to get burned
* not to get infected
Good luck!

Too damn difficult, also the game doesn't handle well the fire collision making the game even more difficult.

I like the idea, but the implementation needs some refinement. Good job though.

I didn't make it very far... I like the idea of this encroaching goo, and having to fend it off with fire.

Same as others: nice idea, but the implementation could be improved. But this is already quite good for making a game in such short time! Keep up at it!
