HARPOONS on the MOON by Travis Irby

[raw]
made by Travis Irby for LD28 (JAM)
INSTRUCTIONS!!

Control your astronaut with the a,s,d keys or arrow keys. Space bar is upwards thrust. Click with your mouse while hold a harpoon to throw it in that direction.

ONCE A HARPOON TRAIL turns red, you will die if you touch it. While it's blue you are safe. Pickup harpoons by moving over them.

The game is multiplayer. I HAVE DONE NO TESTING. This is my first multiplayer game attempt and there are bugs.

You should be randomly connected to a level with up to 4 other people in it. If you are alone, try refreshing...

** Chrome seems to have issues connecting at times.. Firefox is working better for me.**

Thanks in advance for checking it out! :)

Created solo in Unity3d 4.31 using Tasharen TNet for the multiplayer.

I really liked the graphical effect of the harpoon trail. I did see one other person in game, but I couldn't determine how to keep score.

It will probably be hard to find someone to play against, but it looks like it could be fun.
The harpoon trail looks nice. It took me a bit to figure out the movement controls. Turns out it's just Up/Down/Left/Right movement, but I'm not sure why you have to use [Space] instead of [W] to move up.

I played it alone sadly. A lot of cool things : the background music, the shooting effect of the harpoon, the low-gravity moves. Not bad.

I've tried it opening more pages at the same time... it works! Good job!
PS: remember to rate other games to get other reviews! I think that's why you've only 5 reatings!
