Two minute mayhem by bvanschooten

[raw]
made by bvanschooten for LD27 (COMPO)
Shoot all monsters on screen within 10 seconds, using 7 different weapons of mass destruction! A complete tournament takes a little over 2 minutes total.

Control using the mouse. Hold mouse button to fire. Your turret is stationary.

Note that the applet may play slower than the Jar. Run the Jar for best performance.

This LD, I had less time than usual, so I cut some corners on graphics and sound, which are mostly procedurally generated using my usual tools. The sound is a little loud, turning down the volume may make it sound better. Also the performance is not optimized, especially the scoreboard may lag.

The game also plays well on Android, I'll release it on Google Play soon.

NOTE: it seems the game won't run on some Macs. Can any Mac user please tell me what error they get? Run "java -jar TwoMinuteMayhem.jar" in the command line to see errors.

The jar did not work on the Mac and the applet did not work also.

I felt a lot the urge of move myself, but all keys i've tried won't worked.. After that, i loved how each weapon has it's own behaviour. The zombie virus is for sure my favorite one.

Nice weapon concepts and particle effects. I especially liked the zombie virus :)
By the way, works fine on Mac OS X 10.8

Fun game, I especially liked all the different weapons. :) Thankfully, I realized after a while, you could just hold the mouse button down instead of clicking like crazy. :D

Pretty neat idea--this was similar to an idea I had before I decided to do a thruster game.

The sound is terrible, can't play it with sound.

Not bad. Poison Darts and Sticky Bombs are excessively hard to master, in my opinion. Nice shining letters.
