Society, Man. by floppya

[raw]
made by floppya for LD34 (COMPO)
Infinite runner that unpacks socioeconomic dynamics and the role age plays. Spacebar to jump over the expenses, click to make payments on larger items. Grab the cash! The older you get, the faster you can throw around cash. Don't worry, babies still get some walking around money here.

I thought I was making a balloon racing game until halfway through.

Nice game, controls are a little weird, not sure if the game is eating my input or there is some kind of hidden cooldown.

Thanks for playing, everyone! I think it's eating the input, sorry about that. Probably something I'm doing wrong with the animation system. This was my first 48hr compo so I learned a lot about pacing.

It's very funny and I can't get the song and the "chi-chin" out of my head :)

Hahahaha nice game. Really funny sound effects and concept.
but the spacebar doesn't seem to be working consistently for me. Did you make the human models in the 48 hours?

Yeah the input is a bit messed up which is a little disappointing. I generated the human models using MakeHuman and did the animations in blender.

I think you might have deep down problems with the idea of getting old… Still a good game though.

nice game, though for me there was some collision issues with the jumping. other then that it played fine.

Funny idea :D Pacing is a bit tough, I was unable to jump over the "youth" minuses but still cool! Good job!

Well done. Fun to play.

It'd be good to have a timer of how long you were able to survive before going broke.

Love the title and the title screen. Fun concept for a game. The graphics and gameplay are kind of bland, though the "throw money at problems" mechanic is pretty innovative. Might have been nice if the big payment obstacles had a more unique design. The music is okay, kind of grating, but I love the "ka-ching" sound effect.

Neat take on the theme. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/EztdlDzFrUE
