Hell On Earth by CryoGenesis

[raw]
made by CryoGenesis for LD30 (COMPO)
-IMPORTANT-

Hell and Earth have been connected. For some reason, it is up to you and you alone to save the earth from monsters, the like of which are totally generic. Use your chosen out of 3 weapons, A Pistol, The Deathgun and THE STICK. Have fun...

Made using Java with LWJGL, Paulscode's SoundSystem and my own open-source library GGU+GGUR:

Don't even know if it will work on another windows machine, let alone Linux or a Mac.

Works for me. Pretty fun, although I wish there wasn't a framerate cap, no consideration for monitors with more than 60hz refresh :(

Great aiming mechanics! People need to make more games like this!

Enjoyed the interpretation of old-school fps's. Found the game to be pretty tough though!

@Furyhunter You can manually turn frame limiting off in the "data/config/ggu.ini" file. Although, wouldn't recommend it, hasn't been tested much.

Lots of settings you can change in these .ini files like increasing the 3D render resolution, which will result in the rape of your CPU. You can make it fullscreen too.

Solid oldschool shooter you have here. (Says the guy who hasn't played any classic FPS.) Zombies took annoyingly long to kill with the stick and pistol, but that made getting the deathgun really satisfying. The graphics style worked really well and there was a definite sense of danger (especially considering how close I had to get to hit zombies with my stick.) I died twice to batswarm right before the end, and when I got an ending I had to alt+f4 exit. Still the best game I've played so far.

Awesome, I love it! Reminds me of Notch's Prelude of the Chambered ;).
Works perfectly on Linux Mint 64 with Java 8.

It's cool. the best moment for me it's when you take the 2nd gun and suddenly a bird appeared from the corner whit a funny face I laugh a lot.

Finished it pretty fast. Got the pistol, almost ran out of ammo, but then I saw that ammo pretty much grows everywhere there. Was fun to play.

Solid working 3D dungeon. Can be expanded to make a really interesting game.

I felt like I was waving a hotdog when I had the stick! lol. Great game reminds me of doom and makes me anxious with a little with claustrophobia :P

Pretty cool! I like that you loosened up the aiming and such a bit, feels pretty polished for an old-school FPS.

Woohoo! I won a cake.

Enjoyed progressing through the weapons. Had a kinda spooky oldschool atmosphere with the dark draw distance.

I liked it :) it was a little slow tho. it doesn't really have that feeling when you just surf through a level in doom. would have loved that

Movement was frustratingly slow, and enemies frequently came out of nowhere to try and kill me, but other than that, the game was solid. The art needs some work. Only being able to carry one weapon at a time is frustrating, and I don't even know what the hell is going on with the way aiming works.

@Lycaon The aiming is a bit weird yeah. It's standard FPS aim apart from looking up or down is disabled (raycaster). It also has a tween so the crosshair moves independently depending on your rotation speed. Little difficult to use at first.

Fun game! A bit generic, but still nice. There was a pretty bad bug though: when it went to the death screen, there was no way to exit the game and I had to restart my computer... :( Still though, not bad! :D

Great game :D Graphics worked really well. The zombies seem a bit hard to kill with a pistol though.

I like the style, though I wasn't able to restart once I died (or figure out how) which would have been nice.

Pretty solid. I wouldn't have stuck with it if I didn't read about the deathgun in the comments.

It's work for me on Vista. It's a funny old school FPS, but it seems to me too slow. It can be improved. Sounds are really annoying for my ears. Well done ++

This reminds me to start working on my own raycaster game again. I will totally steal your aiming mechanism for it.

Pretty fun little thing. I liked the controls halfway between really oldschool and modern shooters :) Too bad it just stops completely when you die instead of restarting the level, though.

Very impressive I must say. It has all the elements of a complete game!

Solid entry. Would like to see better balance on shooting and damage. Have to shoot things too many time to kill them :) Should polish up and work on it some more. Potential.

wolfenstein ftw! great entry, ran out of bullets on the bat thingies and couldn't figure out how to switch back to the stick...

Darn bats!!! ARGHHHH! Great game. Fun Only thing I would say is audio needs to be turned down and gets hard too fast. Otherwise great.

BATS!!

Worked Great on my Mac only problem is the game won't quit after I pressed CMD+Q (the mac version of Alt+f4) it will continue to run on BackGround and to restart the game I need to force quit java :(.

Also I can't quit without CMD+Q because the game is fullscreen.

Great game I think I will keep this retro style game to play on my spare time :)

Great game! Reminded me a lot of Wolfenstein, really nice work on it.
