Was it, in fact, inspired by the film of the same name?\r\rMechanically pretty simple. I don't see any reason not to just avoid the enemies at the moment. If, as muton suggested, it were turned into a game where you had full movement controls there is real potential for some potential hunting, chasing and dogfighting scenarios.\r\rGood work!"},{"author_name":"egos","author_uid":"20701","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 2:10pm","epoch":1367244300,"text":"a shooter based on the color its a good idea but a shooter minimalist can have upgrade system too.\rnice game anyway"},{"author_name":"kryger","author_uid":"5204","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:31pm","epoch":1367252760,"text":"Thanks for the comments, and I agree a lot of things could be improved.\r\r@Yngar: The game is hosted on Dropbox and combined with Chrome and Unity Web player Chrome seems to block that. But you should see a grey shield on the right hand side of your address bar.

(It claimed Unity webplayer wasn't installed.) Works fine in Firefox.\r\rNot particularly fond of the movement: it's slow, but that doesn't make it much easier to dodge the oncoming buildings. If you make any improvements, try tightening up the feel and giving the player a sense of inertia. You can probably have the player go much faster and have the game be easier\/more fun to control.\r\rLike the background sound, though the shooting sound gets a little repetitive.\r\rAre the levels prebuilt or procedurally generated?"}],"images":["ld26\/5204-8dcf512862bfbf92362fc0cac3e2e0c7.jpg","ld26\/5204-84e894f0847e6c60aee8a93a134ede10.jpg","ld26\/5204-fbe913e17b43d42192f5e148b626811c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/4951678\/dark_city\/dark_city.html","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26237","g_author":"5204","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26267","g_title":"Dark City","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"721","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/5204-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/5204-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/5204-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Minimalist shooter game.
