[raw]
made by SelfishGenome for LD31 (COMPO)
This is my first solo LD and second time entering.

the game is an Isometric survival game with two play types, campaign with 8 levels or an endless survival mode. Both options provide a range of power ups with no limit to how powerful your weapons can become.

The power ups you pick up control speed, power, health and dual weapons. Telling you which is which would spoil the fun, but they activate automatically.

You may not get far on on your first few tries but with perseverance and getting the right drops you can survive almost indefinitely.

This was my first attempt making music/sfx for a game. I used MAGIX.
c4D for modelling, a little PS and Unity.

UPDATE: Rebuilt in 4.6.1 so it should work properly as a pc build now and on the web player. Also moved from GoogleDrive to Dropbox so hopefully traffic will be better handled.

Great game! Looks really good!
At first it was really slow and the yellow blocks took a lot of time to kill. After a few upgrades, though, I became a powerhouse and killed everything with ease. It was nice.

Oh, just so you know: the link to Web seems to be taking do a Windows build instead.

Thanks zanenga I put the link in the wrong box, as I mention in my description, building in unity 4.6 beta breaks the unity web player :(.

Clicking on the Windows link says the folder can no longer be viewed. Google probably didn't like the traffic.

Game looks awesome, I love this art style. I wish the weapon was at least two times stronger and also the clouds are little annoying sometimes.

I really liked the graphics. The game controls felt solid. The music and sound effects fit the game well.

Nice lookingwith good music. Lovely environment. A bit slow at first but it gets better. And unlike mine, it's a real game. Thumbs up!

Quite fun, although slow at first. I love the visuals style and the way arena is designed. You can't see more than half of it and it seems strange and bad, but after few rounds you realize you don't have any business there anyway. :D

It doesn't work for me. Ok, I see, I am not using 4.6 beta :(

Great graphics! I love the lowpoly, and the color choice. I like what you did out of that Unity tutorial. Unfortunately, the "AI" is too predictable, and weirdly they halt every now and then when I start moving, not sure why. Also, good job on the music!

Very great game! I loved every minute of it. I beat the campaign (And on my first try even :) ) - I found it very rewarding killing cubes, and I loved how you manged to animate them in a way that actually gave them life. Awesome job! My favorite game for this dare so far!

Very cool little "bullet hell" game, the trees looked very cool, would love to see this game developed future :D

It's an awesome game, I think it would be better if you reduce the trees and rocks for better view. Great game anyway :)

I really like the art style of the game. fun gameplay. although there were 2 things that could have made the experience even better, first being the cloud sometimes obstructs most of my playing area, and i am unable to see like 30% of the play area, and i died coz of it once. the second being, the level design could have allowed more freedom of movement by giving more choices in the paths that the player can follow. it was a pain, going around the same 2-3 paths i can take. But overall, i would say those are just little things that make the already great experience even better. good work overall :)

Great artstyle, I love the low poly models!

Maybe you could have pushed for adding more effects to your game, like bigger particle effects and maybe that the screen bounces when the boss is introduced or is walking around! I myself is trying to think of that when I'm developing, it really enhances the mood/ feel! :)

The laser coming out from the cube when you shoot is not visible at all. It took me few tries to realize that. I feel like there is a lot of grinding in the game starting from level 1 :). How do you use those crystals that you collect, do they automatically come into play? There was no mention of it or how it works?

I like the level art! Overall its a good game.

Just as I was thinking, this game needs some powerups, boom- Double shooters! Great game. I love the minimalistic graphics, they really work here

Cool game, only drawbacks seem to be the slow speed in the beginning and the clouds/trees constantly blocking your vision (which led to my death after succeeding for a few rounds :( ), otherwise it's good fun and a very nice art style.

Well done. You breath life into this boss pretty well with just shapes colors and move behaviors. Of course there was some problem with the view + masked zone but it let you fulfil the theme pretty well, so I think it's ok.

Cool. I like the level, but the hero seems to me too basic. Well done ++
