Console Wars 3D by wezrule

[raw]
made by wezrule for LD28 (JAM)
There is only 1 Limited Edition Next Generation Console, which everyone wants to get their hands on. You are lucky enough to score it on Black Friday (1st level), but now people will kill you for it!!

There are 3 3D levels, each level with its own challenges and different controls. W A S D, mouse moves and clicks are used to move.

I made this myself, and everything was made from scratch (shown in the timelapse video) as I wanted to enter this into the solo 48 hour compo but ran out of time :(.

Don't forget to change the resolution at the initial screen (the default may be quite low!).

If you have some trouble with the levels, check out the walk through video :)

Edits:
- Patch 1.1 Updated a GLSL shader (Night vision) which failed on lower end devices

This is a pretty ambitious project. Unfortunately I keep dying in the first level for no obvious reason :(

Combining the 3 different minigames was a cool idea, and the whole premise is very funny. I was a little confused on the 3rd stage, but it was satisfying once I found the right spot ;)

@donaldducky
I don't have a mac to test i'm afraid. Is there an error? Can you update your drivers, see if that helps, thanks

@omaha
haha thanks

@cappelnord
There's quite a few things that can kill you! keep your eye out ;)

@30dogs thanks :D glad you liked it

I have updated a new version (Patch1.1) for windows (mac/linux coming soon)

This was different. I beat the game. I liked how you had to destroy the plane. The second level didn't make much sense to me, but I beat it somehow :P It definitely needs some polishing, but this could become something interesting.

It ran fine on my Mac OSX 10.9. It crashed on a shader (NOT the same as eralpkaraduman reported) but that has been fixed.

Hey Wez. Tom here

Gonna give some critisim here

First of all the good. I liked the models you create with some good animation in there as well. and the fact that you were to make 3 different quick games in one based on the ludum theme.

The main problem with the game is that theres no feedback. Some sound would be nice even if they are just stock.

Either way it was good effort and keep up the good work

Hopefully next time I'll have something to show :P

I couldn't get past the first level, and wasn't really sure why I kept losing. Do the bookshelves kill you? Anyway, nice effort, with a little extra work, this could turn into a pretty fun game I think.

thanks guys. I have uploaded a timelapse video now, and also a spoiler to the description showing you have to get past all the levels!

There is a "walkthough" video now, which shows you what to do :)

It's not obvious to see how we die at first level.
It's not obvious to see where to shoot the rocket at third level.
At the second stage, I did not realise I just simply won without any other try.
The overall is a bit slow (moves and rocket).

It's funny game, but, too hard for me. I don't like casual, but love obvious mechanics
