Object LD48 by cpv

[raw]
made by cpv for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Object LD48. Deep space object. Big. Probably an old comet. Initial scanning showed it's mostly hollow. Impossible. Previous missions never returned. No answers. Only questions. What happened? What is this? Why the orbit changed before reaching Mars?

Commander, we believe there is something going on. You are the hope to our answers.

Good luck.

Controls:

A/D - Move

Space - Jump

Left Ctrl/Left click - Shoot

Sorry for the half finished game :| Much was scrapped or left unfinished.img1.png

With so many scary creatures, "We are doomed!", that's clear. Would be nice to have some sound effects. Overall, good entry. Well done!

It was nice playing it, sadly the sound effects would make the experience probably better, but it's good anyway. Good job

Nice, but I could not restart level when I lost :(

Thank you everyone, and sorry for the raw state of the game.



The game is not completed :| Lots of stuff to do, and not so much time.



@madr To restart you need to relaunch the game at the moment. Maybe if I will have some time, I should create an updated post-LD version, at least to a more playable degree, add sounds/music, and a more specific ending. It was planned to have a plot twist at the end.

Well, you were right. Either my astro-driller works for your commander or there are 2 crazy space commanders! haha. Fun little game, congrats on finishing in time! :)

The concept is awesome and really gave me the arcade mood.
the sound would be a big boost to the game itself.
Awesome work on the art, I really liked it@!

A neat little side scrolling shooter. It was easy to pick up.

Very simple game, I enjoyed the alien design. I did get stuck in the geometry quite a lot, and an easier way to quit than tabbing out would be nice.

I feel like it really doesn't take much to make your game more appealing - sounds, improved controls, shooting speed and the ability to fire multiple bullets. I can already see a lot of work put into the AI for example - enemies jumping to get us etc.

@pat-cleaver , @nosfer Thank you for playing it. And I agree.


Not a real gamedev/jammer, so spent time thinking, figuring, drawing pixels, scrapping, redoing, third day was at day job, etc. The initial idea was a bit different and more complex. I might bring it to a better state, but that will be already for my own experience mostly :)

Simple and nice. We all have to start somewhere! Congrats!

Cool art style, I liked how the aliens looked. I'm not sure why the foreground tiles were darker than the background tiles. It's counter-intuitive as you expect the parts that you can walk through to be close in colour to the black background.

The game could be improved with music and sound effects; they really add to the mood

Does it have an ending? Nice start, I liked how the enemies jumped to try to get you.

@jesus-gonzalez not a well defined one. One is actually to be overwhelmed and die :)


It was supposed to be a bit different, and have more of a plot twist near the end.

Good idea, decent implementation, and interesting mechanics.
