LudumData

Run 'n Gun by Ace

[raw]
made by Ace for LD28 (COMPO)
So, my little entry for this Ludum Dare.

You only get one inventory slot, and the enemies are neverending.
Scavenge weapons, preferrably before the enemies empty them at you, and maybe you'll survive for a while.

There are controls and things in the menu, though I guess they're worth repeating;
WASD for movement, Q throws your current weapon, E picks up a nearby one, R reloads, and left click fires. Shift lets you sprint.

Sadly no sound or music this time, ran out of time for it.
Enjoy regardless.

It's cool. The controls are a little confusing, though.

I was unable to compile the game on linux: http://pastebin.com/AqFNddRW

Also, the game crashed when I went into game mode with wine. Sorry, I really wanted to try this!

It was ok. Bit hard though, since it's pretty much a projectile spam within the first 5 seconds.

josefnpat: You need to init the git submodule first, thought I put that in the compile instructions but apparently not.
And sadly there's an issue somewhere in Kunlaboro that breaks it in 64-bit, otherwise I'd have 64-bit linux builds for you.

I liekd the premise, but the projectiles all leave large trails making it very hard to dodge anything

Some interesting stuff here, but superdifficult! I wished that Q would swap with a weapon on the ground. Many times I threw away my weapon to pick up a new one, and I picked back up the old empty one. Also I was a bit unclear on whether the fruit was good or bad. I started the game with bananas one time, but clicking didn't seem to do anything. Stayed away from it and went for the more traditional firearms.

Love the text in the game. The gameplay was kind of dull and it seems very difficult to actually kill something. Surviving pretty much forever however can be done simply by running in one direction.

finally figured it out. I liked the free roam system. You could pick up a cup and fly across the screen, even though the camera didn't follow you all too well. The guns went out of ammo so fast that i never was able to kill anyone. With the objective to live as long as you can, i kind of can do that by running forever in one direction. nobody can stop you so you could say i beat the game forever. :D
