LudumData

Attack of the Sodas! by Upgradecap

[raw]
made by Upgradecap for LD31 (COMPO)
Hello everyone!

My first ludum dare, and my first ludum dare so far that i've managed to massively fuck-up. After having a ton of progress, both with art and with code yesterday/night, everything broke today. Maps refused to load, editor wouldn't work, all sorts of problems. But, i did promise myself that i'd upload ~something~ to this year's ludum dare, so... well, here goes!

I'll try and make an actual -game- for next year's ludum dare, i promise!

Simple console game in which you fight soda machines. Pick options and don't die i guess!

Oh, and i almost forgot to mention and i seem to have lost the ability to edit the first post but...

There's a small easter egg in the game too!

Resting doesn't seem to have a negative effect, the machine does'nt get a turn to attack/rest. Also, gaining 500+ energy per resting turn is op. Entering 0, 4 or anything else that's not a command (from the ones I tried) results in the "you don't have enough energy" error.

Updated it! Should've fixed the problems it had plus the energy stacking issue.

I love text based games so this was actually quite fun. Good work.

I'm actually glad I found a console game, at least this is different to everything I've seen so far.

Funny premise. I was defeated but it I had the machine down to 3 HP, very exciting. Sorry to hear about your issues, good on you all the same, next time.

I always appreciate text games, especially when they run in the command line :D Charming idea and functional gameplay, even though it can be very tough depending on your luck (then again, fighting a soda machine in real life probably isn't much easier.)

Sorry to hear about the challenges you had. Not bad for a console game whipped up in one day.

Awh I lost ): Haha, cool to see you still posted something! It was a nice variation from all the other games. Still nicely done hehe. "I'll try and make an actual -game-" IT WAS, you silly.

Well, I certainly know what it's like to want to submit SOMETHING. So hey, at least you got something done! And you've probably learned a lot from this experience. ;) The game is simplistic, but okay, though it needs some editing ("loosing", "it's"). Also, a lot of times I wasn't sure if the game would advance with waiting or a key press, and then I got impatient waiting...and is there any way to exit other than pressing the X?
