LudumData

EDM (Extinction Dino Meteor) by PossiblyAxolotl

[raw]
made by PossiblyAxolotl for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

I JUST REALIZED THE WEB VERSION ALWAYS SAYS YOUR SCORE IS 20 DO NOT PLAY THE WEB VER I WILL FIX AFTER THE JAM

Despite the musical name and colourful pixel art this game is not a joyful happy experience. A meteor is headed straight towards the earth and will no doubt cause the extinction of all the inhabiting dinosaurs. You can try to juggle the meteor in the air but in the end you’re only delaying the inevitable.

Use the mouse to keep the meteors from hitting the ground and see how high of a score you can get!

THE LEADERBOARD ONLY WORKS IN DOWNLOADED VERSIONS. Idk why, sorry :( -PossiblyAxolotl

Did you by chance play my game Super Survival Ball from LD46? It had very similar mechanics complete with a (now defunct) online leaderboard. Your version's not bad, I suppose :P. The graphics and audio are really good. Clicking on the meteors is a little difficult when they're moving fast, which is part of why mine went with a pong-style paddle.

Nice design that works well with the theme! I wish there was something that told me my score.

would have given you a high score on humor if you had it in your ratings just for this meme

@theflanman There is a full leaderboard and a popup with your score in the downloaded version. I am uploading a new build that shows it in the web ver too, but the leaderboard doesn't show up as it doesn't work in the web ver for some reason.

i always lose it at 3 meteors. a suggestion could be to make the area collider bigger to allow the player more room. that would make it more fun.

At testament to my jitter clicking days in minecraft. I got about 4/5 on screen at once before it was too much for me. Was simple and a lot of fun!

Hey, liked your game. It is kinda tough to appreciate the cute lil dinos, while constantly looking at the meteors. For me the dinos were to small or kinda out of sight if played in fullscreen. But other than that nice game! :v:

Nice, I feel bad for the cute little dinosaurs and like the somber music.

The music was fantastic. Maybe the score is broken. One time i had like six meteors and the same score when i just had 2 meteors.

Nice entry ! The principle is very simple but very effective and quite addictive. Graphics and sounds work well in this game. I didnt manage to handle more than 4 or 5 meteors at a time unfortunatly... Thanks !

I also went for the "keep the ball off the ground" idea, although the stakes were very different between our games. This is pretty addictive, good job!

@phoenixofforce Thanks for the comment :D If you happened to be playing on WebGL that may be why the score didn't work. Congratulations on getting so many meteors :D
