The Hunt by marudziik

[raw]
made by marudziik for LD25 (JAM)
I think that this is the most stupid game I've created. Using your mouse, you have to shoot everything that moves. That's it. There are 5 levels. The idea may be stupid, but I hope you'll get at least some fun out of this pointless shooting. :)

MOUSE = shoot
P = Pause

Entered Jam because of real-life interruptions, the game had a very short total development time (much less than compo time). I used AS3+Flashpunk.

Get 25 kill points to advance.
You gain 1 point for every kill.
You lose 2 points every miss.
You lose 1 points if one escapes their fate.
You're defeated if you have -10 kill points.

The art style gave me a flashback to older games! It ran fluid, thats a plus as well :)

The graphics are quite trippy. And the difficulty made it rather fun. Even if you didn't have the time to make a game to your own liking, this is not at all bad :-)

Thanks for the game!

Visually the game looks nice, and the sound effects also work well. Unfortunately the game doesn't feel all that responsive for me which makes it really difficult to play. On top of that the hit detection feels kind of weird. Things that I consider to be hits count as misses instead.

It's really good that the game has simple and well defined rules tho. Good work!

Level 4 (or was it five?) got pretty hard with a trackpad.
This is a very basic game, but it's still amusing!
Though, I feel something was missing : Someone screaming RELOAD when needed...How many points did I lose because I forgot to reload!

Funny things : This game reminds me those stupid (and vaguely ethics) shoot Bin Ladden/W.Bush games I used to play back in 2001. I had totally forgot about those!

The gameplay is not incredibly compelling but I like the graphics of the backgrounds.
