EPS - Endangered Psychic Species by fjfnaranjo

[raw]
made by fjfnaranjo for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

The game

Escape from the city with the last specimen available of an endangered alien species. But the alien is cunning. And a psychic! And he likes to throw stuff at you to break free and bite electric cables (they are sparky!). Keep it alive.

This is a 2 player game. One player plays with the keyboard and the other with the mouse.

Enjoy! :)

Game created for the Ludum Dare 46 using Godot game engine (https://godotengine.org/).

I'm all by myself here so unfortunately I can't give a full review of the gameplay. But, the graphics and sound here are excellent. I laughed at the music transition with "FREEDOMMMMM" when the alien gets loose. I like the opposing goals of the characters and see how this could be a lot of fun. I did find the human movement to be a little buggy, most of the time jumping with SPACE did not work when another movement key is already pressed.

Overall, quite nice. I was very confused initially when trying to play this as if it were a single player experience. I guess I missed that in the original text, oops! I like the asymmetry and the humor. There's clearly a lot of art and sound that went into this as well. One suggestion I have would be for Richard to have some kind of idea which direction the helicopter is in and to change the start and helicopter positions randomly. It feels a little unfair for Richard to not have as obvious a way to pursue their goal than the alien. Nice job!

hey the programmer here, thanks for the feedback. I acknowledge all the things you are saying. There is a post-ldjam release of the game in the github repo fixing all those things. Unfortunately we did not have the time to do it before deadline.
