Kill That Guy by Skyloh

[raw]
made by Skyloh for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

You have to kill the guy.

With an arsenal of tools and traps, outwit his silly little AI and murder him!

Controls: Left-click (can drag) to place tiles (click on hotbar to select). Right-click (can drag) to remove tiles.

Gameplay: Your goal is to place tiles on a level in order to kill a simple AI-controlled character (named Geoff). You have a limited amount of funds with which to purchase tiles in addition to a limited palette of tiles. Here is a table of what tiles do what:

Basic Tile (gray box) - no effect.

Grease (basic with yellow slime) - Geoff cannot turn around while on this tile. Additionally, any big jump they make is a small jump instead.

Glue (basic with blue-gray slime) - Geoff is stuck on this tile for 2 seconds.

Spring (coils and gray block) - Forces Geoff to jump.

Pencils (yellow stabby ball) - Deals one hitpoint of damage to Geoff when he touches it.

Bomb Dropper (basic with trapezoid removed) - periodically drops bombs that explode on contact dealing 4 damage.

If you don't kill Geoff within a time limit, you lose (that's bad).

I really like the alternative tower-defense gameplay style! I had some trouble progressing through levels 2 and 3, but I can definitely see the potential here. Great job!

The Game is really funny. Especially the Sounds. And I have never seen a game with a similar idea. I liked that.

Best sound effects and presentation ever 10/10

But seriously, it looks like you guys had a lot of fun making this game, even if it's really simple. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the jam :D

The sound was the best in this game for sure. Concept is good, i can see how this would become an interesting game. It took some time for me to figure out that you actually need to place the tiles before you press play for some reason this got me confused. Also map 2 i could beat without placing anything on the map. Was this intended?

The title alone made me laugh out loud and drew me in to try it. I can't say I'm disappointed. The glue sound effect alone is delightfully revolting and the little bug guy is funny looking. You guys clearly had a blast making this.

Cute game, fun voice acting. Didn't see any reason to use any block besides the thorns one on the first 2 levels.
