Space Melee by reverso13

[raw]
made by reverso13 for LD31 (JAM)
Space Melee is a space game with the goal of pushing the other player out of the screen.
You have to push the other player with your own body, but be careful because you are affected by the gravity of all the planets that are around you.

Instructions:

- Download Adobe AIR: http://get.adobe.com/es/air/
- 2 players minimum
- Select number of planets (more planets == more difficult)
- Push each other out of screen

With all due respect, I've not had much experience with Adobe AIR, so tying to run an un-trusted application, I chose against it, nice graphics though (see them in the screenshot)

It was alright the graphics flipped out during the start and were then all one color for each object.

Nice attempt though :)

I enjoyed the music and graphics, but the gameplay was lacking a lot. I unfortunately didn't get to play it with another person, but even by myself it was a bit too hard to control my guy. I was always spinning and flying away. Plus I never was able to knock the other player out. He just got knocked out on his own gravitational pull to the center.

@peejaygee Adobe AIR is a well known framework, made by Adobe. It's more trustable than a .exe

@Ozcr Thanks! I'll try yours now ;)

@ParaPup yeah sometimes color doesn't show as expected. Restart and try again with new planets.

@maybeimelias the controls are hard but it is much enjoyable if you play with another person :P

I like that you can choose the amount of planets. That just stands out to me as a neat touch. Decent entry overall

The graphics look pretty cool! However I would've liked a bit of a tutorial or something D:

Graphics are pretty nice. With my friend we alaways died alone and never succeed in pushing the other player out of the screen... maybe controls are too hard ?

Cool sumo kind of game. I feel that players movement could be more polished, but it was fun to play.

Nice graphics and audio, nice concept too but the controls are impossible to understand :) that puts the challenge in the "how not to die" area more than in the "how to win".

Simple, but fun! The controls were a bit derpy, but playing with another player made it pretty damn funny.

Hard game, you're moving randomly (I know about planets and gravitation but it feels very random). Nice graphics, but sound is annoying. Fun game for quickly winning or losing (mostly by accident).

The controls are more than difficult. I basically always just drop down to earth. But graphics look great, and the basic idea is nice. With some work on the controls it could be a lot of fun.

Agreeing with what peejaygee said, I have no experience with Adobe AIR. Just as with him, I chose against running the application. I'm not accusing you of anything, and please don't take offense from this. I just have no experience with it.

Controls are way to hard to master as there is a bit of turning happening on its own, and then up and down propell you forwards or backwards instead of in the direction of the head/feet, as would have felt intuitive.

I played this one on my own and still lost against a non-moving adversary, mainly because of the controls, but then again I wasn't able to throw it out despite it's lack of input.

Graphics are nice, though the background sort of stands out from the rest, but the colors are nice. Good job!

Web link takes me to a download, which is annoying, and I don't have another player to play with. I haven't rated, so don't worry. Sorry!
