Planetary Nunchuks by Evil Scotsman

[raw]
made by Evil Scotsman for LD30 (JAM)
Planetary nunchuks!

Things have come to a point with the planet gangs and Jupiter, owner of the Solar System bar, has put out a hit on you. You'll have to use your nunchuks, forged with two worlds connected by moons, to fight through the Mars clones and put Jupiter in the ground, once and for all...

Instructions *Important*
W/S - Forward/backward
A/D - turn
mouse - swing chuks
mouse 1 - thrust chuks forward

Tip - use momentum to your advantage, wait till the nunchuk swings back then thrust it forward to swing them out in front of you.

Aaaah, this is so great. I love the meaty little sound effects. Excellent theme adherence.

I like flinging the nunchuks at people. I wish it had more impact though.

Awesome nunchucks! Fun, but simple, game.

I have no idea of what just happened but that was some crazy ass kicking.

Well, that's certainly taking the theme literally. It could really use some sound effects. It would also benefit from standard FPS controls instead of partial keyboard.

Nice nunchuck action :) Would be nice to have some variation on enemies and some resources to manage such as health.

Very nice game, fit the theme in a perfectly odd way.

For some reason I feel like this was a big excuse just to mess around with Unity's physics engine.

Although, still an interesting game(and take on the theme) to say the least.

So ummm... I defeated Jupiter. I have to admit it was pretty damn satisfying to smack things around, even if the game is rather silly. Using AD to turn is rather annoying... Would maybe have been nicer if it was regular mouse look with click to swing nunchuks and right click to thrust forward.

is "Jupiter has been defeated" the end?

Controls seem a little fudgy. Couldn't quite figure out how to work the nunchuks - simply clicking the mouse repeatedly seemed to suffice.

Also, it's a pain having to reload the page when you "die." I wasn't even sure what happened the first time the controls froze up. Some kind of "game over" feedback would've been much appreciated.

First it hit me with oldschool controls (rotating by keys) but overall it is really funny game! Jupiter gang stands no chance agains my nunchuks! .. and here I come again! :P

Hello everyone, here to address some points. Firstly, thanks so much for all the kind comments, it's great to see that my joke was actually funny to you guys!

A lot of you have mentioned about the 'Doom' esque controls. That's in there because I really wanted the player to be able to swipe across the screen to attack instead of flailing the whole camera around. However, Oana, you're exactly right, that's a much better control scheme and I should have gone with that.

@Ryusui, that's odd because you can't actually die in this game. Sounds like it crashed, which sucks :C.

@GameDevExtreme, yeah, that's the ending.

Hahaha, at first I was a bit creeped - the weapon I decided was some kind of coral spine and the guys were really scary. Then I got the idea - I like it, its interesting and original!
Just I seemed not to be able to die? Any HP systems and etc.? Otherwise everything is really nice, good job! :)

Haha, loved the way you used the theme! It was nice to see Jupiter as the final boss.

I didn't seem to take any damage. As far as I could tell I was just murdering innocent planets. :(

Great take on the theme. It wasn't particularly exciting, but the premise was cool and the nunchuck was satisfying.
