The Legend of the Bikini Armor by Sun-Wukong
Play as young and ambitious female warrior who have a slight problem - she can't find any armor that would fit her due to her enormous proportions of the upper body part. So she sets on a quest to find the Legendary Bikini Armor said to perfectly fit anyone who wears it and giving highest protection despite it's looks. And now she arrives at a remote town where legends told Bikini Armor was sold. To find out if legend was just a legend or is it really exists.
In this game you can fight armored or unarmored. Armor gives you some protection but reduces your speed, jumps and attack power. Though without armor you die from one hit. Enemy attacks can destroy your armor.
The game is largely unfinished due to unexpected technical problems, sorry about it.

Come to think of it, this is my first ever platformer game. Never done the most basic genre before so this time I tried to make something fast simple. Unfortunately just a day before LD started my wacom tablet started malfunctioning(turning off and on spontaniously) and I didn't manage to fix it in time(I still don't know if it fixable) so this sudden problem slowed me 2-3 times. No surprise that I didn't make it in time even for Jam entry. The game is vastly unfinished alas. To the point that there is a whole set of heavy armor animations left unused:
So it is almost no content in jam version of the game. Also complete lack of sound. Well, post-jam devving is waiting for me.

Gameplay was fluid, though I kinda feel like doing it with the base armor would be impossible. Loved the witty dialogues at the beginning. I accidentally clicked away the chest text after finding it, using arrow keys for that was kinda unfortunate. I also got text once when entering the cave and was immediately sent back to the village, though I also clicked that away accidentally, so I can't say what it said.
Shame about the content, but I feel the gameplay and the animations were a large step up from Tesla Defense.
But Tesla Defence wasn't my first LD game? I still think that my very first ld game Cat-O-Pult is the best I've made so far, next will be Petit Adventure.
Humor is 5!!))))
I like it so much!
Great job and good luck! Let the force of boobs be with you guys!
because it obviously works... ^^
Also unfinished the theme of the game, as I understood, was more armor = bad, and who'd disagree on that
You have some nice artwork going there, too bad you lost so much time :(
Loved the art style and the art over all, the cinematic was good too.
Good look and feel set in the game and great idle animation ;)
Although the level art it self looks very blank having only the same texture everywhere :/
And not much in the LD.
But overall I had fun and all the best :)
Pls feel free to play and rate my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/split
Seriously though that's some awesome artwork! For an unfinished game it's pretty well visually polished.
It's hard to give an accurate review of gameplay due to only one playable level (I think?). Combat was simple but served its purpose. Town and girlie art was some good shiet, I just wish there was a full gameplay loop with another set of armor.
Pure and simple gameplay and amazing graphics! I'm looking forward to play post-jam version.
Waiting to see your post-ludum entry :)
Really amaizing art. It is sketch but alreatu look very cool!
I wish you good luck and finish the game!
I wont to look that it will be be.
5 stars :) !
Good entry
The art is great and all, but try to have a minimum viable product before focusing on graphics.
I don't know if the bugs are just me or not, so please reply if I am being stupid :D
Really good game!
Do work a bit on the gameplay department though. While solid and functional, moving around and mashing the spacebar gets dull very fast. Do consider how to spice things up if you decide to continue working on this later down the road.
Still, I liked this entry. Very cheeky humor and cool animations. [Our team](twitter.com/whalesandgames) would like to see this one lift off. Cheers! :whale:
I like the concept a lot, funny and has a lot of room for creativity. Of course, like you said, the game is very unfinished right now:
Sword sometimes glitches and stays stuck in midair. It's almost impossible to not take a hit when wearing armor since it takes two hits to kill an enemy; I tended to get a lot farther when I didn't have armor. I like @ursagames suggestion of having a shield when you wear armor.
Animations and art are great, but it's very unfinished on the gameplay front. I do HIGHLY suggest working on this more and turning it into a full-length game. This seems like exactly the kind of game that would explode on Youtube if it was fully fleshed out (heh).
Also, ignore Tabass.
Missing any input instructions - mostly figured out how to make work by button mashing until something happens.
Not sure if controller input was expected to work, but I found a few spots that didn't work.
Lack of audio hurts the game some.
after loosing the armor, it would have been nice if the shirt worked even when falling. Not sure why a few people had an issue with the character. I have known people with similar physiques... mine they would wear something more supportive then what is in the art.
The wide stance... and standing off the edge of stuff is odd - I can get my character's center of mass well off the edge of stuff... but her one foot is still there.
game seems to be stuck in a loop of the armor shop and the one map. not sure if that was expected or not.
Please, *do not* convert this game in some sort of Manyuu Hikenchou, despite she having a nice body, I do not get the feel this game matches the theme of this Ludum Dare.
Controls could be a bit tighter, look up "Coyote Time". Also, in jump and run games like this it is usually better to not use "up" for jumping. Assigning a jump key to the hand that is not running is generally more ergonomic. In one instance, I was able to get myself stuck in an area where I couldn't make two-block jumps because I still had my armor on and there were no rats left to get hit.
It's a shame really that you didn't get to finish the game. It's a pretty cool starting point to make something greater. Adding sound effects and music will do wonders to the game and with snappier controls I believe it could become quite popular on Newgrounds or a similar platform.
