Little Hero by Freel4tte

[raw]
made by Freel4tte for LD28 (COMPO)
So, finally. This is my 4th ludum dare contest, but my first where I've finished my game.

This game includes an ingame manual so I'll explain a little bit here in the comments.

This game is based on one level and one level only. There are three game modes which can occur each new level. When you accomplish a game mode, you will restart at the starting point with a new objectiv and obstacle.

There are 7 different obstacles which are chosen at random. So every new level you have a combination of one of the tree objectives and one of the seven obstacles.

There is also a timer which starts at 40 seconds everytime a new level is loaded. When this timer hits 0 your character will die. If you accomplish an objective the remaining time will be added to your score.

Let me warn you: This game can be quite unfair. Everything is randomly generated so some things could be placed in such a manner that it might be impossible to reach.

This game is made for fast and continous playing. Just try to get as far as you can. It might be hard to understand when you first play it, but read the manual and just play the game. After some deaths you will get the hang of it.

I hope you enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed making it. And that everything works as intended.

Programmers note: Sure this game has still some bugs and whatnot but its quite stable. My codes are quite messy with no comments and "not-so-good" functions. But hey, I only got 48 hours to make a game.

I really like the random gametype aspect in this game. The animations are smooth, and the game is pretty fun too play. The game is lacking a variety of sounds though.

Nice play on the theme. I find the game too hard, but others might like it this way. Nice graphics.

Same level, random objectives, random hazards. Genious!
It's really hard, because it's really hard to "learn strategies". When you die, everything is changed.

Me likes random generated stuff! Here, sir, take my like!

Jokes aside, your idea is super cool. And it's amazing what you managed to accomplish in only 48 hours! Oh, procedural content validation can be quite hard/tricky sometimes. If you're interested in this subject let's exchange e-mails - i'm really into this kind of stuff! :)

I actually liked this game. The random game type idea was brilliant, and I just loved the sword animations, very cute and cool at the same time. The sound effects were very fitting, maybe except for the white laser thing that.. was very high :P - The game was very difficult, but I found it to be okay in this type of game. All in all I really liked the idea, and you managed to make simple graphics stand out. Good job.
