Bloody Penny by tiffi

This is my entry for LD 44, which was the 16th time I participated. I know the Theme sucked, but basicly thats kind of a important part of LD. Still I'm pretty sure I will need a small break from LD.
Game: A simple Top Down Shooter with a small twist. I had to strech the theme a little bit (it's more like "Currency is your Life"), but I would say, close enough.
Controls: Move: WASD Shoot: Left Mouse Button

Also, the coin eating creatures when there were too close to each other they both ate the coin and then there were two coins...It didn't break anything, but if you decide to work on this after LD you should fix this.

I like the effect of these magnetic towers, that really gives a way to perform some tricky shoots.
P.S. Agreed the theme sucked. Every entry looks the same.
The coin-throwing is a nice core action that's pretty novel, and the way you have to retrieve it and have no offense for a while is a great feeling.
The variety of traps is a real highlight here, and gives each room its own feeling and strategy.
The physics might be a *little* too slide-y, but not in any way the degraded the experience. I had fun trying to get close enough to a zombie to combo-kill them with a triple-shot. It was risky to get that close but rewarding when I pulled it off.
If I could add one thing to this, it would be some satisfying feedback on a successful hit against a zombie.
One other thing - I initially thought the candles were a hazard I needed to avoid. Maybe force me to walk over some in the intro room so I learn they aren't?
Great entry!
Also think that easier combo shots would be easier, and maybe dmg should be tighed to the speed of coins so that zombies don't die so easly when they step on standing coin.
I just didn't get why sometimes the coin does not damage an ememy when it bounces off of another enemy, and sometimes it does... :shrug:
Well done!
Keep up the good work.
