Teleportant by Miltage

[raw]
made by Miltage for LD27 (COMPO)
You play as a special agent doing what you do best - killing bad guys. However, your state-of-the-art teleporter gadget is on the fritz and every 10 seconds you, and anyone near you, are teleported to a different location.

Controls:
WASD: move
Directional Keys: shoot
E or SHIFT: grenade
SPACE: mine

Thanks for playing!

@matthias_zarzecki Thank you, Canabalt was my main source of inspiration.

Good stuff! Something to keep in mind: players without QWERTY keyboards can't play the game because of the layout.

This is so much fun! Excellent work, love the pixel art too. :) If you're thinking of adding more pickup able/power ups could be interesting.

Great action! Felt like a movie. Loved how you were fighting in the rooftops and next you're dodging incoming trains. Great job! :)

Quite challenging as the projectiles move quickly and are at times difficult to see (them being small and thin). Well done however, an interesting concept.

Overall a fun game. It was a bit hard to be ready for the teleport to the buildings, because I was constantly falling to my death, but I finally was able to do it.

Very nice art style to go along with an interesting game! The gameplay was nice, enjoyable enough to keep me trying a few times. One HUGE thing though that I didn't like very much at all was teleporting and being instantly killed because you were standing in the wrong area. I understand it's supposed to be dangerous and unknown where you'll teleport to... but man is it unfair at first. I think having a sort of "transition time" between the actual switch to preview what's ahead would have been nice, that way you don't punish the player for what they can't see coming.

The gunplay worked fine and was entertaining enough to keep the game enjoyable for a few minutes. I quite liked the concept of teleporting randomly, I just wish it were a bit more fair for the most part. I think that what you have here is fine and a good overall submission. But I also think that this concept of teleporting randomly could have been explored much deeper and had some really interesting gameplay..... perhaps if the project continues after LD.

But great job! I liked this submission.

Your music is exceptional!

The graphics remind me of Canabalt :)

I like the random teleport mechanic, it causes some unpredictable results, which is very cool!

I think your character could look more apart from the enemies, even if just an inverted color scheme.

Good work!

Pretty fun. I'm liking the art style and music. My only real niggle with it is the enemy shots and grenades are a bit hard to make out, so it's a bit tricky to keep track of whats going on. More locations to teleport to would have been cool too. Other than that, pretty good.

Really cool! But the roof level keeps spawning me on thin air...

I loved the quirky sound effects, and the music really grew on me. Also I liked the art style, very clear that canabalt had some influence in there. The gameplay itself was pretty fun, but in my opinion the bullets being more visible would have been nice.

Cool game, I failed miserably though.

Loved the art, blood over black and white looks nice. The only problem i found is your character being alike the enemies, wich can be a little confusing after teleporting.

Cool idea! And it's really fun! And I even like the music. Well done!

Really fun game. The different weapons were great and the constant teleporting kept the game fresh.

Really good shooter with a high replay value. :)
Graphics looks a lot like Canabalt with a GangGnam Style walking (when go down)
Keep up the good work! :)

Awesome game! I like the varied environments and the idea that you can be teleported and depending on your position beforehand you can be in a dangerous position when it finishes...I can see a lot of potential in this, maybe if there were hints at what kind of environment was up next.

This was really cool! I wish the shooting controls had been decoupled from the buttons that turn you, though. In fact, I would have preferred holding down a button to strafe rather than juggling both WASD and the arrow keys.

Very nice art style. I like that the sound effects feel just as "tiny" as the graphics. Pretty addictive too.

Looks great and plays well with it. Really dig the cutesy tiny sprites and there's quite a lot of game there for 48 hours' work. Nicely done.
