LudumData

Gift Of The Gods by MightyToast

[raw]
made by MightyToast for LD32 (COMPO)
This game was created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 32!

The premise of the game is that you have ventured down a manhole in search of your keys you've managed to lose down the drain.

Therein, you meet an ancient (and decidedly lame) deity that bestows upon you random household items to defend yourself with. Each time you play the game you will randomly get one of two weapons to use.

Can you rise to the challenge?



Controls:

WSAD or Arrow Keys - Move

Mouse - Aim

Left Mouse Button - Attack



KNOWN BUGS:

If you die, your health somehow does not update. The health bar will though, making it LOOK like you have full health. In fact though, you'll die in one shot. Sorry! Guess it's a hardcore mode to punish you for dying? (Or I just ran out of time to fix it!)

There's not really an end! Sorry about that. If you've reached an endless black void, pat yourself on the back. You have won!

The game started out very fun, light-hearted and amusing, but I think I found a few gameplay/programming issues. You can't see your mouse, so knowing where you're shooting is really difficult, and after defeating all of the slimes in the second room I couldn't proceed, but wasn't sure why. I checked the entire room.

Fun game. The slime guys would get stuck every now and then. Should've had the toast song playing! Good game!

"Toaster!"*Epic voice* :D Love that! Really nice sound and the cool lights/shadows on the maps. Something that feels wrong is the time that the toasts stay after that you have fired them. Also the enemies seem to stop moving if they get hurt. Good game!

Fun game! At one point I went into the exit and nothing happen. I was just walking in blackness.

wow! I love it. The lighting sets up the mood. The graphics are awesome, because you have wonderful and funny moments. Mechanics are simple, but honestly, why would you need more?

got a billion NullRefs after clearing each floor, and cant shoot up while against a south wall, but other than that pretty good! nice sound and art (though would making the character sprite turn with him be that hard? :P)

Audio was great, graphics were decent. Nice use of theme. Some more weapon or enemy types would have been nice. That toast is op for sure, though!

I found the void! I really wish there was more to this one. Everything moved incredibly smooth and it's just fun flinging fiery toast at enemies.

Is it bad that I actually refreshed the game page several times so I could get the other weapon? The game itself was quite fun to play (the music really sets the mood) and I really loved the sheer hilarity of killing monsters with buttered toast and the randomness makes it even more replayable. You should definitely add more random household items (or maybe add some random dungeon generation to keep things more interesting).

Pro: Got to shoot toast at green things.
Con: Missed opportunity to use "BREADSHOT" pun

A really solid top-down shooter, with great lighting and nice looking graphics. I liked how the toaster weapon had unique gameplayer compared to the pankcake gun, which was more of a typical gun. Nice work!

Fun! I liked it a lot, controls and movement feel great. I refreshed it to get a new weapon, but all I got was toast... but I like toast so its cool.

Good game. I found a bug. When you shoot near enemy it stop and walk in place. Then I can easily shot it down.
