Space Fight 3000 by teamawesome

[raw]
made by teamawesome for LD30 (JAM)
Kill alien scum!

A turn-based space-based physics-based alien blast em up from the fourth dimension. Control your space soldiers with the arrow keys (or WSAD), and shoot using the mouse. Right mouse drags the screen, and space ends the turn.

Adventure forth soldier!

Some practical considerations:

Windows users can just download the exe and run it. Chrome seems to not like us and flag us as malicious (we're really not!), but you can click "show all downloads", followed by "recover malicious file" to manually override.

Debian based Linux users should be able to run the source after installing the packages python-pygame python-opengl python-box2d

Thanks for Playing!

We are a super group comprised of previous compo entrants:

eskoala : graphics, sound + misc coding
hnjslat : ai, gameplay
pillbrain : weapons, UI, levels
tompudding : physics, teleporter-trons

comatoes had originally planned to be on the team but decided against it and chose instead to make a very similar game (with the same name) with all our assets. How rude!

Wait, which one is the original game? this one or the one created by ComaToes??

This one! We had an LD gathering and ComaToes decided he wanted to do his own thing, but that it would be OK to use all our graphics and sound :(

Nice! Reminds me of my Ludum Dare 22 game, with bigger Levels and AI, but without destructible Planets!

Quite fun entry, strongly reminds me of Worms. The sounds were very amusing. ^^

Nice... I think it should be developed further!

Gotta say, I see some good potential in these mechanics. It the gameplay were more energetic and the strategy more varied, this could be a lot of fun.

Fun, interesting how the turn based is per unit rather than for all units...

Pretty good execution of a really ambitious concept.
Flipping while jumping over enemies really "felt right".
Spent a lot of time struggling with aiming/jumping/teleporting, and not really having a good idea what was going on.
Weapons could be made more satisfying with more effects (explosions, knockback, etc) and screenshake.

Rehacked: Planets are worlds. They are connected by teleporters. It's not the most sophisticated take on the theme, but there it is!

Cool game, I really liked the main game song. The only gripe I had was making the fighting a little less, "he who gets the first shot in wins".

I expected more realistic gravitation when it said "physics-based", but not bad. Reminds me of Gravitee Wars without the cool projectile equations.
