Flying Trojan Horse by RARoadkill

[raw]
made by RARoadkill for LD27 (JAM)
You are a member of the special Flying Trojan Horse task force. You must launch yourself into the evil wizard's fortress and open the draw bridge. However after 10 seconds the wizard will fling you into space. Ring Bells to give yourself more time.

Controls
WASD- Movement
F- Launch
R- Reset Level
Left Mouse- Move Catapult
I- Increase Power
K- Decrease Power

Simply run near switches to trigger them

This game was lots of fun to make. Few things I would like to improve but for the most part it works pretty well. I ran out of time and wasn't able to texture a few of my models, and a couple of placeholders had to be drafted into service as complete models. I find the windows full screen version is the most fun to play, but the web version works fine.

Enjoy

The mechanic is interesting, though I don't think it follows the theme too well.

@Vile Smile Well you only have 10 seconds once you enter the castles

Flinging yourself around was a lot of fun, but it was rather hard and I often got confused about where to go :)

Not bad, interesting mechanic. I think making the mechanic to get in easier to experience the 10 second would have been cool

I picked the catapult up, and then when I set it down it kind of rotated into the ground, so then I couldn't launch myself. Going to try again...

@Zer0Kelvin Yeah thats one of those glitches that kept popping up. I'm hoping to fix that in a post jam version

Interesting premise!
Flying around is fun and being thrown into outer space is funny :P

I just found the I/K/F button combination to be a little counter-intuitive.

I like the 3D content of this game especially the castles :D

This appeals to the inner catapult-loving child we all have. The game has a few issues and whatnot but it was definitely fun. Congrats!

Loved the music. Got me excited about the game. Great job with the models and the concept. It was definitely fun, but a bit awkward to get right.

The flying feeling is awesome.
Puzzles are interesting, but sometimes I found a bit hard to set the catapults in the right way.

Top notch graphics, but I didn't find the gameplay very interesting.
