Brainrot Destruction by bartholomheow

[raw]
made by bartholomheow for Ludum Dare 57 (JAM)

A game where you're a submarine fighting brainrot animals, go on the surface of the water to shoot up with SPACE, else shoot right. WASD to move, R to retry. The embed doesn't seem to work, try playing on itch. Edit: i seem to have (mostly) solved the embed problem.

Can't play it here, but works on itch. Fun little game, but expected more brain rotting.

It's like I traveled 20 years back in time. Really cool game – and seriously tough! I'm too much of a casual player for this, but I still enjoyed it.

I loved the game. A yellow submarine like the one in the song? lol I found it very fun, it will definitely get a great review.

The way you shoot upwards when you're at the top of the water is a cool twist I've never seen before. Nice job!

Pretty chalanging, found myself trying again and again. Sadly not enough brainrot in this one, I can recommend the Stimulation Clicker by neal.fun for inspiration xD (I tried to embed a link here, but it did not work...)

@nojoule @redscipio @mysteriousjuice about the brainrot, I know, originally i was planning on adding more animals and the brainrot animal music, but i ended up not having enough time. I ended up making it in 1 day because i was having trouble deciding what to make.

@bartholomheow I feel you, we also would have liked to add some more stuff, but the time crunch was real

So much fun! It's a great game. I wish there was some "explosion" animation/sound to bring this to the next level. But it's already really great. The art style is joyful!

The art style of this game is very cute.I think adding background music could enhance the experience and make the game more immersive.

I love arcade vibe score attack games, and this was a wonderful one! :heart: I really enjoy how intuitive it was to shoot up or forward depending on if you were touching the surface of the water or not. Perfect arcade logic! You had time to do a fun variation of enemies, especially seeing that you only had a day to do it! It all came together nicely!

If you keep developing it, I would love to see other levels with enemies shooting from below as well, to play on your concept - just adding yet another level of "AAAaaaahh!! They're coming right at me!"

The best result that I could manage below :smile:

@belle, i really appreciate your feedback! Making the shooting direction intuitive wasn't an immediate thing!
