Grenade Dodger 1923 by SomeKindOfOctopus

[raw]
made by SomeKindOfOctopus for LD34 (COMPO)
Dodge the grenades to survive! Your helmet will protect you from a single hit. It will get harder with each wave.

A/D to move (or arrow keys)

------------------------------

This is my first Ludum Dare (and first game jam of any kind for that matter). If you take the time to play my game, thank you! It's a very simple game, but I had a good time making it. I think the terrible art adds a certain charm.

Music made using http://boscaceoil.net/

Inspiration: "People keep dodging my grenades like it's 1923!" -Lojepi ( http://www.twitch.tv/lojepi ). Thanks for making no sense, Jepi!

Is there no end to this madness!
I'm not sure if this is how grenades work, but hey, it's a videogame! And I have a helmet that protects from grenade explosion! Nice!
You're right, your art is charming. :D
