Winter invasion by Belvar

[raw]
made by Belvar for LD31 (COMPO)
Arrow keys to move
X to jump
C to shoot

Goal : Survive until the star at the top becomes shiny (it appears slowly). Then go up to catch it.

Picking up the items is important. You melt slowly so pick up snow to regain health.

The tilesets and structures are randomly chosen so if it doesn't please you just reload the game !


As you could notice, I took inspiration from Risk of Rain among other games. I originally planned to add cool items like in RoR or Binding of Isaac but you know, time...

Made using :
* Haxeflixel framework
* GIMP (I should start to learn using Inkscape and stuff... Animations are lame)
* Tiled
* SFXR
* emacs
* Archlinux

The HTML5 export didn't work, sorry for that !
I also have a GNU/Linux64 build but I didn't included it. If you want it, just say it and I will upload it.

it's fun but a little frustrating around the edges, if you end up above an enemy who's slightly to the side of you you end up bouncing on him until you die and there's nothing you can do.

Good but the controls are a bit hard to get used to.

Fun game. At first I did not like the fact I could not jump high then I could. I guess it was a power up. Your game is almost named the same as mine too. :)

I like the graphics ! Really annoying when someone gets stuck on you because of how high you shoot.

On one of the maps there's a ledge on the left and right, if powerups spawn there you need to boost off of someone's head in order to get up to it, which is frustrating

I think it's the best side platform shoot game I rated now. :)

Random levels are well made. Love the power ups !

The physics are half-decent, and there's a wide range of power ups on offer (though of course not rivalling RoR's ;)). It almost feels like there should be more writing, because your style is absolutely brilliant, over the top and pretty hilarious. It's also pretty sorely lacking music, although the sound effects are alright.

The controls seem very unresponsive at times.

Thank you all for your feedback ! I get the game physics are not optimal and frustrating, this is partly due to flixel colision system that is not really good (but it would not be fair to blame it all on the engine :) I think there is way too much hitback too)

Oh and I did not specify it clearly but the level are not randomly generated, they are randomly selected in a pool of 5 level I made (just to be sure there is no confusion)

@rd127p77 : to be honest, and although I am a bit ashamed to admit it, I never beat the Harder mode myself...

That snowman sprite is hilarious :)
Seriously though, quite fun with all the different demons once you're all powered up. Well done!

Hi there. Like the blame for everything message at death ;) Like the carrot nose gun. Nice sounds. Found it a bit difficult and combat too tricky (lose health quickly if they get adjacent but can't kill fast enough at range). Needs some balance but Good job!

Its nice, the power ups icons are cool! but couldnt jump further to any platform, is there a double jump? Please add some music!

@Jupitron : to jump higher you must wait for jump powerups
