Hypertonic by JM-DG
I did this entry in 48 hours. I was not able to submit in time only because Game maker had an error while generating my executable (bug with the new feature marketplace).
Hypertonic is a game about getting the biggest.
You are controlling a "molecule" around in space and the goal is to become the biggest by absorbing other smaller molecules. However be cautious of the other bigger molecules as they can absorb you.
Controls
- movement : mouse
- zoom in/out : mouse scroll
Let's see if you can find the hidden 8-bit mode feature. :)
Sadly, I lacked of time to finish and make an actual interesting gameplay. :c
Engine : Game Maker Studio Professional
Art : Photoshop CS6
Sound FX : jfxr
Music : Ableton Live 9.0 & Cool Edit Pro 2.0

@Norfinel It's probably just that GameMaker installer is detected as a virus. 100% safe, I guarantee.
@Andrew Adams I don't own a mac... yet... else there would be a mac version. Maybe next year.
@Mali It is the direction I wanted to take.
So, right now game balance is in the hands of randomness... Sometimes the level will be fun and balanced and sometimes you'll just appear and be already dead.
But I plan on working on the game later and finish it perfectly.
Add powerups, rework game balance, game modes, etc... :)
Ok I played it, look like spore first phase.
You should made a mobile version or make screen bigger on pc because when we are big we cannot move anymore.
@Inateno Sorry about the installer. That's what GMS create when you create the application. Next time I'll do a zip.
It was created with the intention of making it to mobile. Normally when you are big and can't move anymore it means that you're the biggest and that you've won.
Seems like there's a lot of "become the biggest" game out there I didn't know about... :)
Thank you for your feedbacks.
It's a bit too bad that you are so dependent on the RNG god. Sometimes you die within 5 seconds.
