Papaya by Tsumei

[raw]
made by Tsumei for LD28 (COMPO)
Play the game online at: www.aardal.nu/Ludumdare

Batty the Bat has a need for Papaya. Help him hunt down the Papaya within the fortress of the Beaver-hipsters.

The beaver hipsters do not care for eating or hunting bats, but will be suspicious and attack if you veer too close to them.

Eat plums to increase your energy levels, allowing you to survive a scrap with beavers should you stray too close.
(Plums add to your hidden energy counter, this is a game about avoiding enemies; Try to not get caught or bumped into!)

The game requires HTML5 to run, and will be playable from any browser capable of it's features.
I hope you like it!

I took the half-eaten one because it's icon looked more familiar. Don't judge me.

Haha, Mental Atrophy! Yeah, that's why the half eaten end is not as judgmental, It's just confused. I realised later that it was probably due to the similarities with the logo; But it is hard to represent a papaya without seeing it's insides!

I could have easily mistaken those guys for humans if you hadn't told me they were evil beavers. Yay for papayas.

Don't know why I had the grin on my face in the end. I took the half eaten one, though. Didn't want it to go waste :)

The concept just makes me giggle. A bat...looking for a papaya...protected by an army of preps. A little simplistic in design but pretty and funny.

Funny!
Sometimes the bat can touch the beavers without being caught

Yes. I added a global variable that gives you some wiggle room. Aswell as Plums to give you more wiggleroom, as the goal of the game is to get you to the end :)

Haha. i took the half papaya - loved the reaction!
The graphics are great. The beavers looked a little like humans, though.

I would have loved for the game to be a little longer. And maybe a little more interaction from the beavers. But i can imagine that there went quite some time into those graphics :)

Nice game! The controls felt a bit weird at the beginning, but in the end it was pretty good :-)

The ending choice was worth the play, very funny. Also the premise is great. Sound and a bit more difficulty would help.

Not bad not bad at all. I liked the movement system and the progression (like the arrows help the player to understand the direction). The fact that you have to click each time to make the hello world text go away is annoying.

I can't tell you why, but something about a bat looking for some delicious papaya just cracks me up like crazy. :D I wish there was a little more to do in the game, but the end is funny enough that I felt compelled to play through 3 times to see all of them.

Short and sweet. Really enjoyed it, got all 3 endings. Mechanics were simple and pretty fun. Nice work!

Clean graphics are quite cool and look good. Jerking collision kinda ruins the experience, but overall controls and the game are very nice. I liked the humor around the theme very much!

Beside the controls I can only mention windows that I had to click to dismiss among the cons, they were distracting and unpleasant sometimes.
