LudumData

Space Cowboy by JK5000

[raw]
made by JK5000 for LD32 (COMPO)
It is like so many others, my first time I participate in LD. I'm just her to try, to make a game in just two days.

I hope somebody will like my little Space Shooter Game.

The game is about getting some aliens, not too kill each other. This is done by shooting love too them, when there are lightning symbols over their heads. But be careful not shooting them too much, because too much love will also kill the aliens.

Now you only find a post compo version.

Updates and fixes in the post compo:

- General much better gaming experience
- Explanation of why you are "Game Over"
- Better volume balance between audio clips, plus more audio clips.
- Better control
- New visual for the gun
- Improved animations
- Hopefully less bugs
- And much much more

To control the town sheriff, use ASDW keys, along with the mouse.

I love the mouth-sounds! I had like that same wind one in mine! I had a little trouble figuring out what I was supposed to do, and kept failing for reasons I couldn't understand. What do they say when they slump over?

I loved the setting and all the voices! I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do, once I shot a couple people I got a game over screen and I couldn't restart. The game has a lot of charm though and if it was more fleshed out I think it could be really fun!

And I now, I did unfortunately not to make a reset function.

The creatures look hilarious. I really like them. I was super confused as to what I was supposed to do. Then, suddenly, it froze, and I lost.

I'm loving the 3d models and animations, though I'm not really sure I understand how to play. I click a guy and the game ends? Did I win?

It's fun!! I like this idea! Although a little confused.

Awesome first entry! The concept is nice, and the graphics and sounds are cute. However, I would have liked to see more clearly what's going on. There is no real indication of progress and when the "Game Over" appeared, I didn't know why. Your game creates a solid basis for a more extended version!

Also, a tiny piece of advice, since you're a first-timer: I think most people prefer downloading ZIPs which contain a single folder with all the files inside (at least I do). That way, extracting is easier. :)

Really fun game! Nice graphics and sounds. Controls are simple but the objective is unclear (lithning symbols always reappear). Fun to play though, nice work! :)

You should make it with an increasing difficulty the longe I play, because it was game over for me after only 6 seconds and i have no idea why. At least I could still shoot after hit enjoing the "pui" sound of the gun :) The graphics are okay but the overall game still needs some love :)

First 3-4 attempts ended at <10s. Wasn't sure what was going on, but I think because I didn't realise you could move, I was shooting the first alien to get angry but the hit detection was grazing the alien between me and the angry one.

Sooo once I realised you could move around the scene things got a lot better.

The voice chatter from the aliens is great, they look like jellytots too which is pretty amusing.

The mouse sensitivity is stupendously low so I cut my successful run short at just 45 seconds to avoid getting wrist pain.

So overall, pretty funny. Lots of potential if developed further :)

Excellent first Ludum Dare game.
Shooting love is what we all should do. :)

I'm not entirely convinced that my love gun was effective enough, but it seemed to work some of the time.

Welcome to Ludum Dare! I liked the concept of your game, and the sounds are hilarious! ;)

Was there a specific exit key or command? I had to ALT+TAB out and close the game window.

You can close the game with ALT + F4

Super first entry. "oh, you can die from to much love". Yeah, thats true :D.

I like the look of it. A little more varying animations and it would feel like there is actually something going between the aliens. Also the mouse sensitivity too slow for me. Takes away from the responsiveness.

I like the art, you clearly have some skill with modelling. I found the game itself tricky to understand and play. But a good first entry!

This is an odd but delightful entry. I am not entirely sure what I was doing, but the graphics were so good that I didn't mind. Well done.

Nice graphics and idea. my mouse was a little hard to move around for some reason. Also i had to alt tab after I died to get the game to exit. Very nice first entry. Great job!!

Those are the cutest aliens ever! It's sad that they die from too much love though :(

Overall a good entry, I liked it

Nice idea. If you made the models they're great! Lacks feedback on your actions though.

Nice idea and it looks really good. It's quite hard to judge what's going on in the whole room quickly. I love the gun sound effect.

Solid first attempt. Graphics and animations are great. Needs a little more in terms of instruction, I wasn't sure if there was a win condition?

Congratulations on finishing your first Ludum Dare. I liked the graphics, the alien look worked well with what the game was about and the simple sound effects brought some life to them, nice job.

Nice entry! Everything looks very funny, you did great animations! By the way, I couldn't stop thinking in the song To much love will kill you xD

ok, i had an issue with the game locking the mouse pointer to the center of the window, which i really disliked. apart from that - it's nice and silly, kinda fun running around shooting love at aliens. i didn't quite understand what was going on, really, but it seemed to really fit the theme, and i enjoyed the pew-pew-ness of the shooting.

Haha, this was fun/strange, and a great first LD game! I'm fine with not being quite sure what's going on since it can be pieced together by playing a few times. Nice work!

I have just uploaded a new version of the game. Hope you will try it.

Because the game is very different from what you normally expect, you have a gun, but you not supposed to kill the enemies and etc, it needed an introduction with what is the goal of the game or a more clear help option.
I always like very much when people use their voice in the games, makes it very funny and me wonder how other devs are like haha.
You did a lot of stuff with the time you had, good job! :)

Pretty interesting idea and I loved the sound effects but definitely not a fan of the mouse pointer being locked to the centre of the screen. Also some visual effects to show where you're shooting (like a laser) would be nice.
