The Parameters Have Been Altered by wbobeirne

made by wbobeirne for LD27 (COMPO)

** Works best in Chrome **

Howdy LD folks!

Proud to have made it in this year. I wasn't able to do as much as I'd hoped, but I had a hell of a lot of fun. This is my first year using Javascript and Canvas (With help from CreateJs) to make my game, and I feel I've learned a lot. And isn't that what's most important?

The AI sucks, the weapons are bland, and the sound effects are last minute. Hope you enjoy!

(P.S., there are a couple of easter eggs. Can you find them? No peaking at the source!)

Nice game, changing weapons every ten seconds keeps you on your toes.

Interesting game, even more interesting facts

I enjoyed this a lot. Good to see more canvas games. I did have one technical problem though - the in-game cursor was offset compared to where my mouse was, so I could only shoot to the right. This was fixed by me resizing the window to the canvas. I was using Chrome under linux.

Fun game. I enjoyed the trivia facts after dying.

"the in-game cursor was offset compared to where my mouse was, so I could only shoot to the right." <-- ditto, please fix this :)

Hah, I love the trivia at the end of each game! It's a really nice touch.

Hey guys, sorry about ignoring the issue some browsers are having with the crosshair. I promise to take a look at it this weekend, I've just been terribly busy! I'll let yo know when I've got it licked.

Holy crap how did you manage to put so many trivia facts in? Good job! Oh, and the game was pretty fun too, if a touch too hard.

Good effort for a new technology used! It is too difficult at first though, four charging columns seems a bit much from the get go. Nice touch on the graphics and trivia!

haha, the fun facts for the seconds survived and amount killed is a very nice touch.

I wasn't able to aim in Firefox. I see in the comments now that this was reported already.

Trivia was really cool. I also liked the shadow graphics and the different weapon types.

Nice! I die all the time. Then I realized that it was the crosshair offset that hitted others too. Another CreateJS user here, for my own game :)

Hey Guys,

Sorry it took me this long, but I've fixed the major bugs! Unfortunately, I can't fix everything, so I just highly suggest you run the game in Chrome. It runs like shit in FF (On my system) and only runs marginally better in IE. I'm really not sure what it is.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Good design, graphics and sound. But the difficulty is too high, it should start easy and slowly turning more difficult.

Would have enjoyed much more without the alert box popping up in the middle of each game. I can undertand having a note at the beginning saying which is the best brower but to ruin a game in the middle of it is crazy.

I've played it in chrome now. Definitely better without the alert box! I like the simple but clean graphics. It runs fine in firefox so you wanna get rid of the pop up.

Hm, the alert box is only supposed to come up if you have a full 60 frames in a row of sub-15 FPS. I'll cut it out if it isn't working well though.

I really liked how you did the facts at the end. The popup would come up during the game saying to play the game in chrome when I was playing it in chrome. After I clicked ok for it the game skipped ahead instead of freezing which was annoying. Fun concept and I liked the background.

Sorry about that, I'd made the change but hadn't pushed it to the site! No more alert message.

Really cool game! It got really tough when I ended up with the shotgun and didn't completely clear the stage I was already on. The enemies are relentless! Really like the look of the game too, with the grid in the background moving as you do really gives the playing field some depth. Added a bit of fun facts at the end based on how long you survived is a good touch. Well done!
