Fighter-01 by Thalikoth

[raw]
made by Thalikoth for LD28 (COMPO)
You are a fighter jet pilot sent on a mission to fend off hostile attackers. On this mission you will use the F-01 Fighter Jet, which is an early prototype of the more common know F-16 Fighter Jet. The jet works fine, but it is hard to control, since there is only one button to control the jet.

-----
I have the source code committed to github, but I have no experience with distributing linux software. To build the game you will need the SDL1.2 core, image, mixer and ttf libraries. I have also ported the game to Windows, so more people will be able to play my game.

Enjoy :)

Quite nice! At first it was a bit confusing, but I got into it quickly. Really nice one button game, good job!

Interesting Idea, It is difficult to know what you are doing. Nice graphics though!

Insanely hard to control, but interesting concept. It feels like a blend of space invaders + shmup + tetris. But I already said so on TS,.. props for actually finishing! (Nagato 2014! shameless plug)

Fun idea. I found it worked best to just somewhat align the jet under an enemy and then mash the space bar to spray shots in the general direction of the enemy. Rinse and repeat, got me a score of 18, I think.

Very interesting idea. Took a minute to figure out what's going on though.

Nice and challenging. Good job!

The 1-control system is very innovative, tetris meets shoot 'em up. Well done. :)

Nice job! Controls took me a bit to figure out as well, but I thought it was a cool idea once I did.

This was really cool! It's just like Tetris and Space Invaders combined like Nardom said. The control scheme really added a strategic feel to the game and it tied to the theme nicely!

Sounds, better graphics, powerups(?), different enemies and the like would all have been cool, but I liked it as is, good job.

There should have been sound, but in the end I had a problem with it, which I did not have resolved yet. I had been thinking about powerups, but I decided to get some sleep instead :)

Interesting execution, found it a little frustrating for my taste by still well executed.

F-01 fighter lol. Nice idea. Would love to see this idea extended further. Your game suits well mobile environments btw.

A good interpretation of the theme.

Haha, interesting concept, nice one :) I was able to feel in control when I wasn't being shot at, but the second fire was returned I began to struggle

it's more original than most 1-button games around here

Interesting concept, but infuriating to play. Feels like a slot machine. If you tweaked the concept further it would've played better in my opinion.

The premise is innovative and an awesome use of the theme but it was not executed well. Perhaps a visible queue of upcoming moves would help? Also removing useless combinations like Up + Down

Hey, nice concept, I like it a lot!
Longer steps could might be more useful for better tactical use of the upcoming maneuvers. Otherwise I just kept on bashing the space, until I got into a position to shoot. Sometimes I just kept circling in one corner with aliens keeping to the other, which was a bit tiresome.

Really nice concept... It's like Tetris + space invaders.. I like games that say "screw you" to the player.
