Bet Life by HAUO

[raw]
made by HAUO for LD 44 (JAM)

Bet your Max-life for a better score each round.

Its missing a lot of content, sounds etc.

Nothing really went right this jam, to start with I lost almost two days, but I really wanted participate even with a proof-of-concept. I do not like my game, not only do I not like my concept at all, it's BORING. However, while I don't like it, I did make something, and feel I should at-least show-off what I managed.

If anything, its at least a proof-of-concept. bak.png

I think this can be made into a good game with some work. In level 1 I can just stand in the top left corner to win. Level 2 never seems to progress, is that a bug?

@loveapplegames Thanks. Ya, really ran-out of time on this one and was never really happy with the end result. More of a short concept and went on just doing another game after this. Very much might be a bug, will check it out.

I enjoyed the hell out of this game. I got out of level 2, though it seemed to have taken longer than the first; but honestly, I thought it was supposed to be like that.

I really like the whole bet mechanic, fits the theme pretty well. The art is nice and the challenges themselves are decent. Good work.

It's a pretty basic, but challenging experience. I like the art style that reminds me of flash games, the music really adds to the weirdness. And I'm a noob in it :(

Cool concept, i liked the game! At the beginning i thought it's rather difficult, but a few levels later I became used to the mechanics. Really cool ideas. If you continue working on the game, give the player a bit more time to get in contact with new enemies. The walking animation is really great!

This was surprisingly OK for an unfinished entry. I only managed 1400 points, I’m not fond of betting and level 4 is really hard for me! The mechanics work well, the gameplay feels a bit like some of the Undertale combat phases. I just think the whole thing would be a lot more fun with keyboard or gamepad support. I like the art style (I hope it’s not offensive if I say it makes me think of Keith Haring).
