LudumData

Null_byte by XariusExcl

[raw]
made by XariusExcl for Ludum Dare 48 (COMPO)

Infiltrate a network.

In NULL_BYTE, you have to infiltrate a network in a limited amount of time, while trying to fend off enemies.

Controls

  • WASD/Arrow Keys for movement
  • Space to jump
  • Mouse to aim

~~IMPORTANT ! WebGL build is broken... I have uploaded builds for Windows Mac and Linux in a hurry.~~

UPDATE 26/04: IT'S FIXED! Time to go back to sleep...

Update 28/04: WASD movement fixed, I had bound ZQSD (AZERTY!)

Sorry mate. The windows build didn't load up for me either :(. I put notifications on for this comment if you get it working let me know I'll come back and rate it! :)

Funny little shooter with a nice little touch on the theme. Overall nothing to new, but well made with your own little touch, good job.

So I played the webgl build and it did work for me. I was able to get to the credits as well. One thing to note - the A key doesn't move you left, you have to use the arrow pad for that, at one point on the final level I got stuck and had to move over to the arrow keys to get out of it and then back to WASD.

Not bad overall - thanks for submitting!

@mdotedot @lehaine Thank you for notifying me! I have fixed the WebGL and (maybe) the Windows version too (It worked on both my PCs, but I built it again along with the fix)

Really fun game! The graphics are great and the sound is good. The gameplay is very juicy.

Moving left with wasd doesn't seem to work, good other then that.

Nice game! Left me wanting more. It may just be a detail, but I especially liked the transition effects between levels. Not entirely sure I needed the shooting to be literal guns if I'm honest, given that everything else had a nice kind of Thomas was Alone abstract quality to it. Good job overall!

I had no issues with the input (QWERTY) so the input fix worked. Nice fast little game. Is was easier to just dodge and jump over the enemies than to fight them. Not sure if this was intended.

Good game.

Playing this was fun, I like the 'time slowing down' aspect a lot

I am a fan of simulations so this was nice to play! Controls worked for me as well so no problems there. Really nice job, would love to see what you can do with more time!

A really nice game with an innovative version of the theme! It's a shame it was short but well made!

I like sound when you pass level. Sprites are just shapes but it fits to game setting

You can't trick me! I've been in the Matrix once or twice :P lol

Looks like a health system was not put into place so the next run I did I simply kept shooting whatever was in front of me and moving left with reckless abandoned for my own safety and well being. Just kept reminding myself "There is not spoon" and I won! :D

Neat game. I liked the different colored lighting effects as you get deeper.

A neat small game. Does what it says on the tin. If you continue on this it would be cool if each level of the simulation had some modifiers to it.

@prodigalson There is! I just didn't balance the game to be tough enough so you virtually can't die :(
You have 8HP for every level (if I recall correctly)

I found the time going down slower and slower the deeper you go a very interesting concept. I would like to see it explored more! I really liked the mood of this, the only thing that put me off was that the static was a bit too loud and too harsh for me. Nice entry!
