Finger Attack by Toko

made by Toko for LD23 (JAM)

Hello everybody ! (Sorry for my English, but I normally speak french)

This is our first entry. We are two young boys and we used C++ and the SFML library.

It was a bit to hard and we have not completly finish the game. You can play but there are bugs (You can't use more than 1 gunner). Please don't be to hard with us (we're just 14 years old).

In the game, a finger attack and anthill and you have to defend it with different ant.

I can't seem to run the game because a dll is missing (OpenAl32). I tried reading the included text file but my French is quite poor, is there a fix?

Attempted French Translation:

Je ne peux pas sembler courir le jeu parce qu'un dll manque (OpenAl32). J'ai essayé lisant le fichier texte inclus mais mon français est tout à fait pauvre, il y a une réparation ?

I found the DLL myself elsewhere but got the following errors when I run:
"Failed to open the audio device
Failed to open "musique.wav" for reading
Failed to play audio stream : sound parameters have not been initialized (call Initialize first)"

So I didn't get sound, so I didn't score that. Congratulations on finishing your first entry! I like the idea, but things are a little confusing. The finger disappeared but the health bar is still there.

very original concept! The game itself was really buggy for me for some reason. I could only spawn more than one soldier unit. and once the finger got to it, the finger moved slowly down off the screen then the game exited

A fun concept. I was excited to play it - a new take on tower defense. However, the first play-through the finger straight up disappeared, and the second and third times the finger slowly moved down off the screen. All three times it made the finger unbeatable. I also wasn't sure what the farmers and workers did. I never saw them appear.

I think the game would have been fun and the concept was really cool. It bugged out, though, so I didn't get a chance the finish a round.

I really like what you got going here. The finger dropped off and disappeared halfway through and I'm not sure what else was supposed to happen afterward. I also didn't figure out what the farmer ants and worker ants do because they never appeared.

The one thing I would add would be labels to the different bars. It took me a little bit to figure out what each bar represented.

Cool game!

Didn't work for me. From a glance at the manifest, it looks like it requires .net 4.0 and I don't have it.
