TextUnkown's AdventureGrounds by HitchH1k3r

[raw]
made by HitchH1k3r for LD 41 (COMPO)

Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

  • Not Unlikely
  • Not Unexpected
  • Not Atypical
  • But Incompatible

My weekend was too busy to do a proper game, but I thought the theme was broken enough to make a quick snarky parody game... This was made in less than 6 Hours!

Tools

  • C - for programming
  • SublimeText - for writing the C
  • Emscripten - for compiling C to WASM
  • Chrome - for testing the game

It's very nice.

Quick tips: make the gameplay screen (in the right bottom corner) a little bit bigger.
Make the restart text, easier (shorter) to type (takes too long).

I like the name, funny.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I agree with the status screen bit... I was tweaking screen resolution and text character size, and ended up with those hard coded values before really playing the game.

As for the gameover text gag, the length was part of the joke... Iā€™m not sure it was a very good joke though ^_^

2, 1 drop! One improvement would be to add in a military base. Maybe make the maps smaller so that you get to see other players before getting sniped from whoever knows where. VSS OP!

Great game! Loved the jibe ;)

That was... something. I looked and the source and felt less bad about quitting after seeing that's just how the game ends, regardless of player action. Welp

Oh jeez. I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I tried it before realizing that nothing was gonna change each time.

Cute game. I found the game over gag to be very funny.

It's pretty good for the time you spent on it

Honestly, I didn't understand how to play it. I wrote "open the parachute" but it didn't work. I am sure minimal feedback(hints) is required in order for it to make sense for most people.

Anyway, it is a nice new style and I think with proper hints will be very interesting :)
