Dayo by pvtroswold

[raw]
made by pvtroswold for LD31 (COMPO)
Roguelike without the RPG elements. You play as a lobster who wants to eat the goats! Had a late start, but here is what we came up with.

@rabbit: It works fine for me. I don't need a DLL. Which one is missing? For future reference

@jojocanard & @hammers: thanks for the feedback! Note to self: less stripping & skimming the EXE next time. Download should work!

Works for me, now! Funky music, and interesting swirly background. Not quite sure why the goats change in size with distance, but I was able to go around and eat them all. Some strange collision on corners, too: able to slide into walls by approaching them in certain directions.

Works for me too!
Very short lifetime and not much difficulty, but it was still fun!

Yay it works! Thanks for the feedback @everyone. @the31: well the original idea was to magnify the area around the player so as to maximize screen space and fit the theme. But due to time constraints the goats are a remnant of that. Collision detection was last minute stuff too.

@TriSquare: How come you can't play it? Okay so added a build with a bitmap font, which I suspect is part of your problem!

I'm on a Mac OS X system with Wine installed. I wasn't able to run `ld48h31.exe` (it died with a page fault) but `ld48h31_gtfont.exe` ran OK (no music, though).

Game-wise, I liked the surreal theme. It seems like the mechanics didn't get as far as you would have liked, but you still made a "winnable" game even with a late start :-)

Short and sweet. Not sure why the goats got larger as I got closer, lol.
