Bob by grayhaze

[raw]
made by grayhaze for LD29 (COMPO)
Note: This entry was unfinished due to lack of time. The basic engine is in place, along with a couple of levels. Unfortunately you can't 'win' the levels, as Bob doesn't drown, and there's no sound, menu or on-screen instructions. It still makes a fun little physics sandbox though.

Bob jumped in front of you in line to buy a lotto ticket and won. Bob must die.

Pause the action and move the props into position to hold Bob beneath the surface of the water until he drowns. Click play to watch your plan come to fruition.

Cool idea! Too bad it is unfinished, it would have been quite fun.

Not a bad sandbox, and the physics are good (nape?). Too bad you couldn't finish!

Interesting take on a familiar concept, you should expand on it!

Thanks for the kind comments! I may well continue to develop this (along with all the other games I have in progress already...) as I'm quite pleased with the underlying systems I put together, including a simple XML-based level editor and a nice OO approach to the different physics objects. The original intention was to have each level be a different person who has wronged you in some seemingly petty way, with the scenery getting darker in tone the more you progress.

So far this is the unfinished game I have most wanted to see finished. Some good potential there.
Muu?

I had fun trying to drown him using different objects, the physics engine works well.

Sad you didn't complete in time, but you MUST finish this game and release it as a post compo version.

That's an interesting if morbid idea for a physics game. It certainly looks like it might have been fun if you had finished it. I thought it was nice how the objects acted upon by physics when you moved them around so you could better manipulate them.

Haha evil! :-) Shame you didn't finish it, it's a really promising concept.

Too bad it's unfinished. Nice use of nape. I'm sure it would have been a nice game.

That was a very cool way to use the theme. Sad you couldn't finish it.
