Bugstar BREAK by glooga

[raw]
made by glooga for Ludum Dare 56 (COMPO)

Fight for the ant kingdom in Bugstar BREAK! The first game I've ever made and has been a learning experience. It's a somewhat-clumsy attempt to translate Getter Robo into a turn-based combat game, with little creatures piloting giant robots. The game is only a single battle. If I had the time and resources, I would definitely have tried to get an animation of three ships combining into the final game.

This is weirdly funny. I was never able to win, but fighting cats is also in the real world a bad idea.

Welcome to the game dev and jamming!

I see there was some complexity in the battle with the different move options.
For me it was kind of difficult to tell each character's turn apart.

I would heavily recommend not using the bright yellow as fill background. It is hard on the eyes.

In the end I managed to beat our warm-up enemy. On to the next battle..!

I liked the Ant-Zord idea, pretty cool to play with the abilities in the different states to turn the battle in your favor. I won the first try without really knowing what I was doing but I replayed to see what could be done and got rekt twice by the cat who's not so defensless while paralyzed and it also broke my paralyzing beam! Several possibilities I was not expecting that were nice surprises! Too bad it ends after the first fight, I could see myself grow my Zords and gain new skills from battle XP and such, but one can do so much in 48 hours.
Also, kuddos for integrating some kind of story.

I didn’t understand the point( You don’t paralyze the cat and don’t die, or you paralyze the cat and easily win. I liked the backstory. The art is funny. Very cool for a first experience)
