Blasty Tag by GreenPig

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

You were a hospital patient, but a crazy doctor has drugged you and your fellow hospital mates. He placed you into a scary maze, where you have to survive in the game of Blasty Tag.

In every round, half of the players get a bomb. Your objective is to get rid of yours, before the time runs out. If you can't succeed, you will explode.

Movement: [WASD] or [Arrow keys]
Players can pass their bomb, by tagging with someone. After passing the bomb, there is a 2 second cooldown, before being able to receive another one.

Fun game for me at least the post processing was a little heavy especially the blur made it a bit hard to look at, besides that I really like the concept and I think it could be really fun as a multiplayer game!

It's kinda hard to see who has bombs and who doesn't have bombs. Interesting way to delay the inevitable.

I thought I found a cheat spot but the AI ran for me at the last second. I like it. It would need fleshing out in some way but this could be a great laugh with multiplayer.

It's a fun concept and cool idea but the execution visually felt like it got in the way - it was hard to understand who had a bomb, and the shaders/effects were a little heavy. Enjoyable overall, though! Keep up the good work.

Fun little game, but it takes a few tries to get into it.
But after some time I managed to beat it :)

Cool idea and nice implementation! As others have said, seeing more clearly who has a bomb and who doesn't would really help (especially yourself). It did seem to be an optimal strategy to just hide in a corner until it's all over, though.

Well done!

I really like this game :D its fast paced and exciting and the music is great. My only frustration is when the AI pushes me into a corner and I get stuck :( great job !

Well done! The game is really fun. Music is great. I kept hiding somewhere and I managed to survive for 3 rounds.

I really enjoyed this game! It took me a few tries to get to the end, partly because some red shirt would find me in a corner during the last few seconds or because a red shirt and an orange shirt would prevent me from giving my bomb away because they just kept giving each other their own bomb. And once I was the last one standing, I laughed because the game had one more round.

The minimap helped a lot. I wished there were sound effects (I only heard music, not sure if it was on purpose, as there was a sound effects volume control). The music was short and repetitive, but it fit the frantic feel of the game.

The AI was interesting. Sometimes the other people were stuck in a corner, and sometimes they seemed very intent on targeting me or someone else.

The power-ups gave the game some longevity, as you not only were playing the main game but also gaining points to help you in future games, so even if you do poorly you feel like you are building up to something. Clever!

The game was really really fun! I really liked the hectic nature of the game! The music was good, if a bit repetitive. But a very solid entry for the jam!

You know, I like a lot about this game. You packed a lot of stuff into it. It's too difficult for me, so I didn't have that much fun, but I appreciate the effort. I actually like the postprocessing, but the character art could be improved a lot (and while you're at it, please give the guys with the bombs, you know... bombs :P). I didn't find any real correlation with the theme other than the high difficulty, lol. The GUI, procedural generation, minimap, tournament system, uprgades - all these things are really neat. And I love the music. Good job!

Love the music, gameplay felt smooth, and visuals where okay.

Overall good, but loosely connected to the theme
