HEDGE HUNTERS by rohin

[raw]
made by rohin for LD30 (COMPO)
CONTROLS: ARROW KEYS (That is all)

WARNING: Pushing random letters on your keyboard will most definitely crash the game!


Hunters capture you and put you in a hedge maze. The hunters can now call themselves the Hedge Hunters. Unfortunately for you there is no escape and you will die. But you might as well make the hunters happy by surviving for as long as possible.

If you take a magic pill you can temporarily escape your harsh reality and jump into a new world where the hunters are medics and they will heal you.

See if you can get a score over 2,000!

DANGER: Hunters have guns and can shoot you whenever you are within their line of sight!

Game written in C++ using the Cocos2D-X framework. (http://cocos2d-x.org/).

I couldn't play because of the OS/X requirement, but your artwork looks really good. Nice work.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I'll definitely need to make a Window's build soon! And I'll try and get that crash fixed soon. In the meantime try to avoid touching any keys from a - z while playing.

I really like your take on the theme! Changing the enemies into healers is innovative and fits well.

However, there are a couple of problems with the gameplay. First of all, it starts really slowly. It takes a long time for there to be enough hunters that you can't just hide in a corner. There should already be some hunters scattered when you start the game.
Second, the collision with hunters doesn't work very well. Most of the time you can just run past them and nothing happens. Also, there should be feedback of some sort when you get hit.

All in all it needs some work but it's a great effort. Keep at it!

At first, the game is a bit boring, I just had to stand in a hard to reach corner. Then after a while the game becomes way too difficult, because there is a hunter in every single corridor. Still, nice game!

I really like the maze and packman esque mechanics, I think this has real potential with just a few more elements - first on my wish-list would be a goal to win the level and second would be a way to turn the tables on those sneaky hedge hunters and give them what-ho, if you know what I mean ;) +1 for hilarious blurb

Interesting art, slightly weird "pressing random keys will crash the game" bug...
