Spaz by mrwillowb

[raw]
made by mrwillowb for LD 41 (COMPO)

Theme: Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Merged together A Clicker/Upgrade game with a Platform Game to make Spaz. That's just not right. Meet Baz. He just woke up tied to a cliff by a rubber band. Hes having a bad day. Help him make it to the Castle by clicking on him to make him move. Collect coins to earn cash to buy upgrades to help make Baz move easier. Be warned he moves like a spaz the effects of being tied to a rubber band has caused Baz to have some severe mental issues. You need to help him avoid the enemies and pitfalls.

Created in under 20 hours. I was restricted in the amount of time I had to make this game. It was my 40th Birthday on the 22nd of April. I decided to soldier on and make myself a game for my birthday.

Software used: Unity 2017.4.1f Adobe Flash My Brain.

Instructions: Walk click on back with the left mouse button.

Jump by pressing the right mouse button after you buy the jumping upgrade.

Make sure you upgrade Max strength to fill up the meter or he loses the ability to move and gets stuck. He runs out of energy.

I wanted to add fruit to collect to fill up the meter but I ran out of time. I think this kind of game can be expanded on and made more fun. Auto click king should be added in clicking is a pain in the bum.

Bamoose Ba/moose Verb. 1. Being angry or upset. 2. A disgruntled word someone uses when they are upset. Would you like to do the dishes?"bamoose" was his response in an angry tone. 3. A word commonly used by down syndrome people when they are upset or angry and don't want to do something.

Thank you for letting me play your game! I really enjoyed the graphics you put together and the sound effects were fun! I had a hard time figuring out how to jump but i loved that you were able to unlock all those power ups:) Great job! Impressive that you did this in such a short time

Thank you for your entry! I love the general idea of it, but it still looks way too raw. The upgrades don't really work the way they should, and it's hard to actually progress in the game. Also the animations are too rough. Still, nice job and happy (late) birthday!

Not bad for only having 20 hours. Definitely could use some polish but a good start. Hope you had a happy birthday!

My poor mouse! :D Encountered a bug unfortunately where the player was just glued to the wall no matter how much I clicked.

Did you run out of strength you need to upgrade the max strength to fill up the meter.

Fun but maybe too hard to progress. The fact that you only invested 20 hours is amazing, though. Good job! :)

Interesting concept, but it is too hard to progress for some reasons : firstly because there is a time counter, secundly because it is hard to see something clear with this jumping screen and thirdly because there is an annoying bug : the amount of money we have in the shop is not the real one, this counter does not low when buying something.

Overall great job, keep coding :)

I'm not sure why I keep losing 2 lives whenever I get to the part by which you'll have gotten at least 10 money. The strength bar looks still good, for a bit I thought the sun might be killing me if it got too far behind me but that's not it.

Couldn't get very far clicking. I'm probably too old! Made me laugh though.

It was only meant to be a fun little clicking game you probably made it as far as you needed to well done. Reaching the castle is the ultimate challenge only for the very best clickers.

Very funny idea, I like that he was attached to some sort of Saw movie-esk leash device, but the game was very glitchy which kind of preventing me from progressing. I'd like to see a post jam update!

This game was really funny but I couldn't get past the first 10 feet in the level. You lose a lot of strength after each click.

Hey, happy birthday!

Am I going to have to be the one who points out that the term "spaz" is offensive? Given the look of the PC I don't think the creator is unaware of what it means.

Lost lives all of the time, and wasn't out of strength... Not sure I understand what I'm supposed to do. Happy Birthday!

There are birds and monsters around the level that kill you. I didn't get time to add the kill enemy upgrades. I might refine this idea as a post compo game if there's enough interest. I am always looking for interesting ideas to make little fun games.
unity 2018 just came out yay.
