Going Rogue by FrankieSmileShow

[raw]
made by FrankieSmileShow for LD23 (JAM)
GOING ROGUE!
game by FrankieSmileShow, with music and sound effects by Chef Boyardee.
The game is for windows.

You are a big monster! RAR!
Have a little rampage in town.

The initial idea was to have a giant monster rampage-themed roguelike, but I didn't quite have time to put in the more roguelikeish elements, so by the end I focused on making the rampaging fun and satisfying by itself.

Arrow keys move.
C picks things up, and then throws them.
V attacks with the item held, and eats people if you are holding some.
the M key toggles a very ugly map.

Moving around makes you hungry, eating people will help.
ESCAPE quits the game! Theres no pause menu, sorry. didnt have time!!

The game was made in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 23 jam.

I can see what this would have been like as a roguelike. Best part was using the pillar as a sword.

LOVE THE MUSIC! This is the best music in the entire competition! The graphics are really amazing too!

It would have been cool if you did get those roguelike elements in so that the player would have had some more goals.

Overall, really fun and polished game. Very nice work!

Wow, very well done! It seemed a little easy, but I definitely liked the idea and implementation. Excellent art and graphics, as well!

Very solid entry! It's probably best that you focused on the gameplay / rampaging aspects, but I'd love to see what roguelike elements you add to it, if you're planning on extending the project.

AWESOME!! I really enjoyed discovering the different ways there were to make havoc. GREAT music, too. I think there should be a reward for destroying every structure, though. (I got a map with only 1 tank on it!) Great fun!

Liked it very much.
Would be nice to have some goal.
Very neat how you made all those interactions - picking up tanks and buildings.

Okay this is really fun! I will play that even more after the rating is over! :) I had a bug with people not giving food but else not much to complain. Just make it longer and add more stuff. :) Simon
