Drone! by NoNoBattle

[raw]
made by NoNoBattle for LD28 (JAM)
Juuuust in time! We have "finished" our first Ludum Dare Game. A lot of work but a whole lot of fun.

A rough litte pixelart side scroller.

#UPDATE#

- fixed the slippery movement bug (hopefully)
( it was a fps problem, where on older hardware the
movement became very slippery )
- drone shoot animation bug
( before -> only plays once at game start )

Love the art and the animation. Movement was a bit off but the whole thing is very tense and atmospheric. Nice!

lovely visual design. I wish it was more clear that I was having an effect on the aliens or that the aliens were having an effect on me.

The pixel art here is great! And the dynamic lightining just makes it better!
The music gets annoying after 4 or 5 loops.
A game breaking bug occured to me, but only once.
The game is very hard!

Felt good and had a nice idea. Struggled with targeting the aliens though.

Great atmosphere, like the central mechanic, although sound could do with some love.

Awesome atmosphere. Like this game very much. But the controls are a little bit confusing... not so bad, because I'm really tired... have to try again after sleep.. Good Arts, good sounds... smooth gameplax

Good foundation and pretty darn good graphics; with more content could turn into a very cool little platformer.

The controls could use a little work. Visually this is great!

Great atmosphere! I hope you'll enhannce the whole game because I really enjoyed it. Lack of attack animations confused me at beggining - I coudn't catch the whole targeting/fighting idea. Trying to keep a distance while opening doors was (positive) hard :)

Controls are awkward :s Too bad, graphics and mood are very nice. I like the way you open doors, it's a good idea. Good work :)

Original concept and good mood. The controls are pretty slippery as others have said. More combat options would have made the game a lot more fun I think, but of course time was limited.

I really like the aesthetics in this game. Everything is presented very well.

Nice. Good job all-round. Was the number of alien swarms random? It felt like there were more in some of my tries and less in others, which felt like I was being punished by bad luck a bit. Only other criticism would be that sometimes I 'slid' off the console mid-way through typing stuff, perhaps the hitbox for them could be a bit bigger. Other than that, like I said, good job :)

I really like the art style of your game. What bugged me a bit was, that when you walk near the console and press space and then slide away from the console, the letters don't dissapear and it always takes some time to notice that you have to walk closer.

Cool graphics and atmosphere. I liked the trippy camera movements. Couldn't make it to the end, the game was a bit too difficult with the one minute limit. Some attack animations and/or melee attacks would have been nice. There were some really loud drum noises with the music that kinda didn't fit. But overall, I liked it.

Great music, FANTASTIC art - really love the pixel art/3d fusion, great work there. The lock was functional, nice gating mechanic in conjunction with the timer. Monsters were very pretty, not that satisfying to fight, however - could have done with sounds and feedback on being shot (indeed, could have done with bullets!). Excellent work for three days!

Graphics are ridiculously good in this one, but I found the gameplay a little bit bland. For me, the game was screaming "stealth" for me, I would have loved that. Nevertheless, great work!

Reminds me a bit of Beneath a Steel Sky... gorgeous graphics. Looking forward to seeing the finished game!! :)

Nope there's still slippery movement still on our new hardware :) It was a nice concept but the movement makes it a little impossible to play.

na its a bug in code and the effect differs on different pcs. for the most people the movement is pretty normal .. but thanks, think i have to dig deeper for the solution. /:

Graphics and lighting is stellar, man! Sweet stuff you have going on.
Very nice :)

Great visual, I really liked the atmosphere you were creating here.

Weak points: some gameplay glitches can get annoying: for instance, sometime one of the ALIENS just rush on you super fast, and you get killed for no apparent reason. Secondly, the music is basically 4 notes...? :D

Pretty nice graphics, but if have player got hit effect or attack animation will be nice.
