Lazy Sunday by mathmadlen

[raw]
made by mathmadlen for LD32 (JAM)
Oh no!
The moles are after your beer!
Use toxin to fight those pesky thieves - press SPACE to spray it on the ground. Move with ARROW KEYS.
You have 5 loads of toxin at once, after using that, you'll have to wait for it to regenerate.
The place you've sprayed will hurt moles for about 15sec.
Don't use toxins near your chair or beer, after all, you want to relax there!
Protect your beer, destroy all the moles and win - a lazy Sunday...

Created in GameDevelop.

[UPDATE: fixed some bugs, especially with collision boxes. Missing sprite animations are finally showing. Moles don't die on the stone square]

I love the sprite for the main character. The other sprites are nice too, but the main guy is amazing. There are a few bugs, and I guess your job is to debug them and keep your beer safe. I had some trouble with this, as they would move a bit unpredictably at times. Still, a solid entry.

Well, good try, with best collisions and controls the game will be better.

Nice idea! Very unconventional weapon, and played a bit like a single-person tower defense game. Some more feedback (flash the moles red?) would have helped, but overall good job.

Good entry, I think the only thing that would make it a bit better is some sort of animation or corpse when a mole dies, rather than just disappearing. Simple to play but still felt solid in it's mechanics.

Just the day to rate this game.
It feels a bit like an 80's arcade game (only a lot easier), also because of the music.

I think the game could use some audio and/or viual feedback on the weapons/effects but other than that, it's fine (altough I would like an 80's arcade style high score list, but that's just me).

I think I've deserved that beer now.

A good little game with a retro style.

It's cool, great graphics and animation. But it seemed really hard. The 'toxin' hardly affects the moles at all, and they just keep coming and stealing your beer...I assumed that if I put down a toxin in time I would be able to stop a mole BEFORE it stole a beer, but apparently that's not even possible...

Controls are a little less smooth than I'd like, but I've never been more pissed at a pixel animal before! Good start.

Boozy moles are the worst, but your game was pretty nifty. The main character was nicely drawn and the toxic sprayer was a nice touch.

Nice work, the graphics were good, and music was pretty great too. The gameplay was fairly well put together, though a bit simple.

It might have been better to make it clear that the poison won't keep the moles from getting to their target immediately, and that it's a game of attrition. It took me a while to realise what I was doing was actually working.

Overall a pretty solid game, with some fine spots of polish!

I thought this was surprisingly effective. I think it would be more enjoyable with snappier controls over the old man, it feels a little mushy at the moment. Nice game!

Fun Concept. I found that the space bar kept moving the page down so I couldnt play the game easily. Loved the Idea

Had a little trouble figuring out if what I was doing was working. Great music though.
