We submitted a post version that fixes most of the annoying bugs !!! ---\r\n\r\nEnnemies are killable\r\n\r\nAdded explosion effects\r\n\r\nThe gun doesn't stop working for no reason\r\n\r\nFeedback on firing the gun and taking dammage\r\n\r\nBetter sound design\r\n\r\nObviously there's still a lot we could make to improve the game and maybe someday we will, but this is the version we imagined the game should have looked like at the end of Ludum Dare. Hope you enjoy playing it.\r\n\r\nHere's all the link for the post-jam version\r\nWindows : https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/43674973\/LD32\/Post-Compo\/TheGunKeeper_windows.rar (Latest)\r\nLinux : https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/43674973\/LD32\/2015-04-22.14-10\/TheGunKeeper_Linux.rar (Older)\r\nOSX : https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/43674973\/LD32\/2015-04-22.14-10\/TheGunKeeper_OSX.app.rar (Older)\r\n\r\n*** *** *** *** *** ***\r\n\r\nKnown issue : The webplayer version currently doesn't update the leaderboard. We hope to fix it very soon. In the meanwhile, if you want your score to show up we recommend you try one of the standalone versions depending on your operating system from the links that are available just above.\r\n\r\n*** *** *** *** *** ***\r\n\r\nAbout the game :\r\n\r\nYou are Jorg. Your great cannon is the only thing protecting the great nation of Orgullia against deadly invaders from the outside.\r\nKeep your cannon fully loaded by selecting the correct ammo types from the loader. Keep your nozzle clean at all times if you don't wan't to jam and be sure the pressure never runs too low !\r\nYou will have to move around from station to station if you never wan't your gun to stop firing.\r\nDo your job well and Orgulite culture will  be grateful for your service.\r\n\r\nInstructions :\r\nLoading : The three buttons on the ground allow you to chose your ammo types. Input commands by jumping on the pads using SPACE (A for 360controller).\r\n\r\nCleaning : Jump on the button to stop firing and open the door. Go into the cannon to start cleaning automatically. The longer you stay inside the cleaner it will be.\r\n\r\nPressure : Activate the pressure valve once using Lctrl (A for 360 controller) to start building up pressure. Press Lctrl again to close the valve. Be mindful of the latency.\r\n\r\nTickers all around provide information about ennemy waves. Certain ammo types work better for certain ennemies.\r\n\r\nWatch this video commentary for detailed instructions : https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rSLkn2SPorQ\r\nScoreboards are available here : http:\/\/dev-ludumdare32.rhcloud.com\/scores\r\nAnd check out our trailer here : https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wZqleda4oW8\r\n\r\nProgramming by Quentin Chevalier and Pierre Mauge.\r\n\r\nArt by Vincent Schneider and Fran\u00e7ois Mauge.\r\n\r\nSound design by Bruno Jarles.\r\n\r\nHighscore Server Programming by Fabien Kalinowski.\r\n\r\nSource Available at : https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/hadesfury\/ludumdare32\/src","title":"The Gun Keeper"}
