Eyed by Marek Lisý

[raw]
made by Marek Lisý for LD32 (COMPO)
2D platformer for 2-3 players, the main objective is to kill your friend by your very own eye. Or by his eye. Or whose eye was it anyways?


RULES
-----

- Jump around and try to kill your opponents.
- You shoot in the direction of your movement, even up/down.
- You are not your eye, you are your body.
- Whenever you shoot your eye, it becomes "hot", that means it kills every one, even you.
- When the hot eye slows down, it becomes cool and you can pick it up again.
- You can pick up any eye, even your opponents.
- When you die, you immediately respawn.
- When you respawn, you are protected for two seconds.

Not a huge fan of the control system. The concept is interesting but the game isn't very entertaining.

I wasn't quite sure what I was doing, plus I didn't have a second player handy so it was hard to evaluate. I like the graphics though, and the weapon is certainly unconventional.

Awesome job on the body animations. I wish there were scores to track kills.

Controls need some revisement. And also there needs to be some form of score or time keeping, doesn't make the game fun if no one can win. Also maybe a larger map. Nice idea though reluctantly it needs to have more oompfh, and, like many other people, I don't have a friend nearby to play it with. Graphics are good and gameplay is probably pretty solid though.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I fully understand the lack of a buddy, I simply did not have time for making enemies and the whole idea just worked for me better in multiplayer, the other player and his wild movement makes it fun.

The game as it is now is not really completed, but I am glad it is at least playable (and it's really funny with 3 players), I was learning completely new engine, so it took most of my first day. I definitely wanted to make scores (and will make them in post compo), more maps etc. However I really think it's funnier in smaller maps (when players have to "live" with each other).

Plus thx FireCamp for mentioning the Drive madness, it really was stupid, I'm going to change that.

I like the style and it feels really smooth and responsive to play. Shame there is no AI, could be fun but hard to judge without another player. Good job.

Hm, may be pretty funny but without an opponent hard to test. But i like the style!

As it was said above, there's a lack of single player. The weapons are really unconventional though, probably the most unconventional I've seen the past two days.

I kept being teleported to the spawn point when I tried to grab my eye back (weird to say :p). It only seemed to happen when reaching the eye by the bottom.

Good job. Working with a new engine is never simple.

Yeah, the animations are bit confusing - when the eye is still moving, it's "hot", that means you cannot grab it back yet. It cools down (becomes blue or green again) and you can pick it up.

As I wrote in the Rules:
- Whenever you shoot your eye, it becomes "hot", that means it kills every one, even you.
- When the hot eye slows down, it becomes cool and you can pick it up again.

I couldn't play it since it didn't include .net 4.0. :(

Looks like fun through.

There should have been a single-player option... I have no friends :'(

Was fun with 2 of us playing. Great idea on the eye as a weapon.

Couldn't try this in multiplayer sadly, so I couldn't play it to its fullest extent. Seems like a cool game, graphics are simple but quite slick, and an interesting weapon indeed. It seems like its a bit hard to judge the angle of the eye shooting, there's no real indication of where its going to go. Perhaps making it into a gamepad game, so that multiple players can use analog sticks to aim the eyes, would be a better option. Good stuff overall.
