Square Horror by Evil Satanson

[raw]
made by Evil Satanson for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Every square dreams of becoming a circle...

Well, it's our first game ever :) Needs bit more polishing but it seems that we're out of time. The idea is to collect as much coins as possible (at least 70%) before the time runs out, avoid collapsing walls, and run out of the door. There are two boosters -- speed booster and one that allows you to fly over obstacles. Levels can be configured by editing the *.map files.


TODO: * Add health * Add more levels * Go to the next level when won * Add enemies that also steal coins * Fix messages to a proper English :laughing:

Graphics and sounds are original.

To run you need Python3 pip3 install pygame python3 ./game.py

Also we'll be providing Linux64 and Windows self-contained builds on the GitHub.

Nostalgic design. The reason for the loss is not clear.

Great submission for your first game! The sound was really loud (like, really loud), and when I was lowering it, it played the loss music, and it *hurt*. Other than that, it was pretty good!

@zabenderman we're still figuring out the PyGame :-D Thanks for your feedback. Planning to keep working on the game further as per TODO list to get something solid :)

@fatemperor It's raise against the time where you need to collect 70% of all the coins. But because walls are collapsing on you, there's a chance that they'll cover more than 30% of the coins laid out. We wanted to make it difficult :laughing:
