A Pirate's Cove by Erfeo

[raw]
made by Erfeo for LD29 (COMPO)
Defend your treasure filled cavern against the authorities!

I kind of like the concept but it was too ambitious for the time and skills I had.

that was pretty cool... it took me a second to figure out what was going on, but after a second it made sense. wondering why everyone jumps when you press the jump button though...

Ah, that was a bug. The game is played with WSAD but the arrow keys were still enabled which doesn't work properly. They're disabled now.

Thanks for playing!

I love where this is going. It was quite satisfying to aim and fire that little pixelly gun for some reason!

The concept is interesting but there is no sound, no music, maybe some sounds and music could have helped.

Fun little take on tower defence, really through me off when those fast guys started taking random paths

This is a cool concept, more or less a tower defense game but I like the variation with the character controls. Nice job on the cool down after shooting. I hope you keep working on this.

Really fun game! I encountered a bug in the second level: the enemies did not want to approach the treasure and jumped back up each time they got down to the last 3 blocks.
Though you said it was too ambitious, the only downside I can really think of is the lack of sound. You did great!

Fun game concept! It does seem like you underestimated the time constraints involved but what you've got here is pretty great!

Very cool game concept and considering time limit it's very nice.

Awesome, really fun, great animations on the main character, reloading cracked me up.

A little confusing about how to reload at first, but good concept

the second stage is brutal! pretty interesting idea, i liked the reloading. never seemed to put the barrels to much use

Yeah, the barrels worked better on paper. The bullets slightly pierce so you can hit a barrel behind an enemy, but it's still rarely useful, I'm still thinking of a solution for that.

Controls are ok, pity that it lacks some audio! :-)

Yeah, some basic audio would've been nice. I've added some in the mean time. You can play it here if you're interested:

I've also added a new turret and some minor improvements.

Nice! I like the idea of only having a single bullet at a time. The aiming did not always work for me and the bullet just went strait to the left. Still a nice game!

This was fun! The sprites were great and the reloading animation made me chuckle. The concept was good but the implementation was a bit lacking. Really needs the audio and polished graphics with more animations. Anyway it was fun and I enjoyed it, well done!
