EvilCakes by FrederickK

[raw]
made by FrederickK for LD25 (COMPO)
You hungry! But not for ordinary food! You hungry for cakes!!!!
Grab the cristals to make a great (evil) cake!

Because I made with Blender 2.65 (you can get it HERE http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ ), you may need it installed to play it.
Made entirely with logic bricks

Commands:
Arrow - Move
M, Space, Ctrl - Top View

Objective:
Bring each cristal to the caking-making-laser
You can only hold one cristal each time.

Bugs:
I'm aware that it have some big problems, but it is playable. I apologize.

EDIT:
For Linux users: Unfortunately I think you will have to download Blender to play it. Then, just open the .blend file with Blender and press P with the cursor on the screen and it should work. I tested with Ubuntu and worked fine.

I like the main character, the whole thing is like characters from a toybox!

First time I play a Blender game. The graphics are amazing, but I couldn't catch any crystal

The characters are so cute! I think the game is a bit hard, maybe if I could control the direction of the main character with my mouse like an FPS, it could be easier to escape from the soldiers

Also, it ran without Blender installed here!

First time i've played a blender game too. Some times you can't get the crystals.

Nice job! Really love the graphics (good graphics are typical of an art centric engine like blender)

Cool game! But as some already said, sometimes you can't get the crystals.
Cool walking way! x2 hehehe

I liked the graphical theme a lot. It seems like with a lot more time, the movement could be made into a really fun physics-based mechanic.

Sweet game but a bit hard. An when you are in the top view (space9 you can't move forward and press left. Forward and right works though. 2 crystals was my max :/

Wow! I thought that nobody would play it because it was made with Blender, thank you guys so much!
I'm glad to hear that you don't need to have Blender installed, but if you do, I think it is more guaranteed that will work.
I am aware of the collision problems, but sadly, there is nothing I can do. :(
What works for me is insist in the collision, it works after a while.

Interesting game, the visual style makes me think of boardgames. For some reason I could only play by opening the .blend file in Blender. Windows insisted the .exe file was not a valid executable (go figure.)

I read your postmortem about using BGE and it was very informative too.

Cute graphics. I think the game is a bit too hard and it needs some sound effects or music.

@jmaasing Actually, there is a way to make it work. I use dual boot with windows and ubuntu and tested. I edited the post with the instruction to play it with it.

Yeah, running from inside blender worked on Linux. Thanks for the instructions.

It works here too without blender. The game is ok but I triggered the end sequence by bringing back just one crystal. I like the smooth move on view scroll, I think It could have been higher.

"If you is reading this, you started the game or died". Genius.

Nice and funny game. Love the graphics and the walking animation.
I am not sure if I did it right but after I got the first cristal and took it "home" I won.

Nice job!
