Frankenstein Fight! by Calahagus

[raw]
made by Calahagus for LD31 (JAM)
~~ DESCRIPTION ~~

Frankenstein Fight! is a game about fending off villagers from your spooky mansion! Shift the rooms around, and survive as long as you can for a high score!

~~ CONTROLS ~~

~ The Doctor ~

Shift Rooms -- Q/E
Go Up Stairs or Ladders -- W
Go Down Stairs or Ladders -- S
Move Left -- A
Move Right -- D

~ The Monster ~

Move Left -- Left Arrow
Move Right -- Right Arrow

~~ INSTRUCTIONS ~~

The Monster can't climb up or down, or shift rooms by himself, so his Creator has to help him. The Doctor can shift rooms around from the grey rooms on each floor.

Watch out for villagers, because they'll kill the Doctor if they reach him! The Monster can dispatch of the villagers easily. Pay attention, because they'll enter from both the front door and from the balcony!

If the villagers can't find a way to get to the Doctor, they'll start to attack the house itself, and damage it. The health bar is on the right.

If the house takes too much damage, or if the Doctor or the Monster die, it's game over! Take out as many villagers as you can for a high score!

Its a bit hard to figure out how to make a path to the doctor and to work out the room shifting pattern. Very nice idea though, controlling two characters... very challenging in a good way.

Cool! I found i little hard to get in touch with the controls, but at the end is really enjoyable.
Nice graphic! Well done!

Controls were a little confusing, I think the room shifting could use more visual feedback to help understand what is going on. Appart from that, really nice game with cool graphics, good work !

Very nice. Audio bug on first play through is very irritating (repeats the same small fx).

Seems like a great idea but I was a bit lost even after several games. I had a great setup with the monster killing villagers coming in, and got a lot of them. But they just pounded the house down.

I did not get to a point where I knew how to effectively use the room rotation ability of the doctor.

Very nice ambiance and the graphics are very cool. Plus an ambitious game concept based on the theme. Cool stuff!

Pretty interesting concept with nice graphics and audio and an entry I would definitely love to see a refined post-jam version of in the future. I should also note that the game seems to be unplayable in Firefox (I had to test it in Chrome).

nice game, it is hard to be checking a path and moving the monster, also with people coming in haha, too much things too fast. Awesome graphics btw!

The gameover condition when villagers reach doctor is too fast. IT happens even when they are one room away from him.
Appart of that the core idea is solid, and very innovative. It's also a very good use for the theme.
