8bit Rebellion by havana24

[raw]
made by havana24 for LD28 (JAM)
Your 8 bit character has rebelled to the system.
He has trapped your thumb and the only way to free it is to destroy all enemies with only your index finger.
You only get one FINGER to beat your opponent!

-- Instructions ----------------------
- You have only 3 lives.
- Click to kill enemies.
- R to restart.
- Click on bomb and then click again on the A/B buttons in order to hit your character on top!
--------------------------------------
PLAY THE GAME: http://www.havana24.net/prototipi/8bitRebellion.html

I've used Stencyl, Paint Shop Pro, Audacity to make this game.

Hope that you like it, this is my first entry on LD! :)

Mixing game screen and some photographic objects is a great idea. It creates a unique mood.
Also, nasty blue goombas !

Ha, this was funny game. Great idea. Perhaps the finger press could have been bit more precise, but otherwise it played just fine.

For my taste it's too repetitive and there is no emergent gameplay. Cute idea though and well executed for what it is.

Great game with really good music. And I like the break of the fourth wall. Wah! Boos and Goombas coming out of my gameboy ;)

Great idea! It was fun squashing those enemies. I wish the finger wouldn't hide most of the enemies under it. But otherwise a solid little game. :)

I got a bug when the shadow moved, but the finger didn't, excepting when I click.

One of the most humorous games I've played so far! Excellent idea, I love it. The game is easy to play but not that easy to win (damn ghosts!)

One minor complaint: when the game is over, you should open a popup with your website that way - I was so "in the game" that I continued clicking after loosing the game, and that open a popup without me understanding what was happening. Maybe you should put the link & logo besides the games instead, it'll get the same ad effect without disturbing players ;).

Very unique setting. Love the usage of real finger photo in this :D
It's a bit hard to control using trackpad though :)

Very good! Brings me memories of my Game Boy Color! Very good idea you had to use those graphics!

Funny as hell, solid game. I included this game in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/JK9Dz3oR_Xs

Absolutely loved the game, and I doubly-absolutely loved the music, almost to the point of losing because I wanted my finger mashing to match the music. Amazing work, and even more so seeing as it was your first LD.

Pretty clever setup and design! Sadly I could hardly follow anything happening in the upper half of the screen since it the gameplay gets very intense right from the beginning.

Extremely cool. The mix of photos for the 'real' objects and sprites for the game enemies is done really nicely. Gameplay is solid and a really clever idea implemented very well overall.

Very cool concept. I had a hard time with lining up the finger with the goombas, but got the hang of it eventually.

Now that's an original idea! The graphics are great. The music annoyed me a bit, but that's pretty appropriate for a lot of game music of the era.

On the downside, the gameplay gets a bit repetitive (even though you introduce quite a bit of variety), and it's not always easy to know where you're putting your finger down. Still, a solid game, and very impressive for your first LD.

Hah ha, the game is funny, you have to aim with the shadow of the finger ^^
But, I'm not sure to understand what does the green line mean ? If it's a chain, it's not obvious enough, beacause it looks like a life bar.

Mario as enemy - yeah! I like how he looks like a commander sending the troops..

Nice little game, but sometimes the hand glitched and stopped following the mouse (only moving after a click)...

The controls are a bit awkward, but it's a very original game!

28. Dec 2013 · 18:49 UTC
IMO the delay in moving your thumb after hitting something makes the controls appear sluggish... great concept and execution!

A very uncommon and original way of input. I really enjoyed the music, too. Sometimes it's hard to tell where the finger hits the surface.

Hahaha, funny idea! I got the bug with the shadow as others complained. Where you're moving only the shadow, and the hand is updated only when you click.

A bit too repetitive, but it's pretty original and the graphics are amazing.
