TWIRL - THE HAIRY HEIST by mtrc

[raw]
made by mtrc for LD25 (COMPO)
The Twirl, a devious sentient moustache hell-bent on robbing the world's greatest financial institutions, is waiting outside his latest target. Can you help him break in and steal the goods?

FEATURES
+ Jump on people's faces to control them!
+ Explode them into bits when you're done!
+ SMOOCH PEOPLE

An unfinished Compo entry, alas - I was working on the final two rooms but ran out of time, and the key failure mechanic (being spotted by the guards) is bugged out - something weird in flixel-android's ray() function I think.

Might fix it up for the jam. Thanks for playing/downloading!

EDIT - I've had problems making zip files recently, so let me know if it won't unzip or is corrupted. Sometimes redownloading fixes.

Thanks! I only had 3 hours on Saturday about about six on Sunday. I should've got further! But I had a lot of fun.

I want to play more of this but I keep getting spotted really early on and I can't replay from there! :(

Also disappointed that I can't deathsmooch as a guy.

Wait does getting spotted teleport you? Dammit I thought I remade the jar so that wouldn't happen. I'll reupload sometime - I meant to disable it because I couldn't get it working right.

Agreed, playing as a moustache is pretty funny. Overall the game's tone is great, love the way people explode too.
Keep getting stuck at the smooching bit, can't take zee money because if I blow up the person I instantly get spotted, even though I smooched the guard!
Has potential indeed.

Thanks for playing all the way there! That was a real boost to know you enjoyed it that far. :) I'll definitely try and fix this up, and make sure that bit works too.
