made by Conk for LD32 (COMPO)
Extinguished

A game about extinguishing fire. In space. With monsters.

You play as the Astrofireman of a station on a planet out in space somewhere, and the station appears to have a breach. Some weird (unfinished models :[ ) alien monster things have broken in. While sorting those fires out, I'd try to avoid them. Or they'll kill you.

You die if your health hits 0 or you run out of oxygen, both of which can be restored with pickups. You'll have to keep a keen eye on your foam, it's your only defence against the monsters.

Survive as long as possible with as much score as possible!

Due to trying to make a 3D game by myself like an idiot (2D, I miss you) I had no time for Audio, so I've opted out of that. I also hadn't the time to display controls in the game or show the high scores (they're being saved though! I had only 30 minutes to spare ):

Controls

WASD to move
Down Arrow to fire your extinguisher
Space to jump

Thanks!

EDIT: After testing the game (didn't have time to) I realised the animations were not displaying correctly and also added the scores to the menu while at it, as it was annoying me. I tried packaging for HTML5, but it wouldn't work... plus, it needs a 64 bit browser, which not many people have.

I added a video for those who are interested in seeing the gameplay and don't use windows (L:

I liked the graphics and the neon-type effect, but the controls feels a little dull. Would haved like to get the option to use the mouse to look around and direct the weapon.

I actually had to check and recheck if this was a jam entry or compo entry. Super impressive visually for the time limit. I love the filmgrain and hazy look, very Alien. Goes straight to the top my list of games this compo.

I wish I could play your game as it looks really great judging from the screenshots. Sadly, I'm on Mac OS X :'( Can you compile it for Mac?

@Tijn Unfortunately I can only export on mac with a mac, it has always baffled me why apple lock down mac so much. I did try to do an HTML5 build, but it was a no go ): I'll make a video :P

Best 3D graphics I have seen so far. Good job! :)

Very impressive graphics. The gameplay has probably suffered from lack of time, but it's a promising start.

Cheers :D I had a plan for some story based voice overs and more game play, but yeah... spent too much time on art.

Is there any way to make this run faster? It's slow to the point that it's unplayable on my poor little computer :(

Wow, amazing looking game, especially considering its part of the compo. Sure there could be sound and a few gameplay tweaks, but I'd expect this level of detail in a Jam game. very nice job.

Cool graphics, nice concept! Needs a bit more polish and development though; more mechanics would really help.

The graphics are cool although a bit dark overall.
Controls are tricky - some target mechanism for the fire extinguisher would be cool.
Even better if the extinguisher could also be used to kill aliens. Additional conflict -> fight fire or aliens!
Great competition entry, you should continue working on it! It has lots of potential!
