Fist of Truth by djdduty

[raw]
made by djdduty for LD29 (COMPO)
Beneath the surface evil is in everything, you just need to fist things with truth to reveal it!

needs msvc 100(2010)

Controls: WASD Movement, Left Click to punch. Menu Controls: W/S to change selection and enter/space to confirm.

Again I am lacking on content but I figured since I did this all in c++ with no huge fancy engine to help me out, I did well.(I did use my framework but it is only really a crappy SceneGraph at the moment.)

Bonus points if you can figure out what the second way I applied the theme is(on the last level)....

Enjoy and please leave comments!

Update 4/29/2014 - Fixed huge cpu usage problem.

When I tried to run, it said I needed two .dll files, and when I downloaded the required .dll files, it wouldn't load, giving an error that said "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application. If it helps, I'm on a Windows 7 x64 PC. Its a shame, I was looking forward to playing it...

@Gravity Games, The only external thing you should need is msvc 120(2013) redist... I compiled it on Win8.1 64bit using msvc 2013. I will try compiling this with 2010 and seeing if I can get a better result.

"you just need to fist things with truth" could be the weirdest phrase I have ever read. :P
But unfortunately it didnt work for me, I got the error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

@OhFiidleDiddle, Did you read the description? You need msvc 120 redist(which you should already have...), Link is in the description.

Just a joke game made for the sake of being a joke game. If you're gonna have humor, at least incorporate it to some meaningful gameplay.

Heh... It made me smile, but this isn't a very good game which you probably already knew when you conceived it.

Yeah I knew, but I had no ideas and I wanted to make something, I could have added more content and actual difficulty, added things like health pots and such. I had enough time left but I was simply too tired after 36 hours awake or something(which isn't much but I need mah sleep!)

I have an AZERTY keyboard. So please also accept arrow key input instead of just WASD.

I tried to run the game, but all I get are white rectangle over black background. Because of how they are grouped together, I suspect each white rectangle is character, that is incorrectly rendered on my system.

Could not play.

Strange game and I probably don't get the satire part of the game. But the fist of truth is a cool concept. However, you could improve the concept by facing the players actions by using its fist all the time.

A quite surreal adventure my friend :) I really enjoy your artstyle, kept things fresh. but like you said, much too short!

The music was pretty lame, but in a good way. I like the graphics (especially the bunnies), but things overlapped sometimes, and once I had to fight an invisible Obama. I played through a few times until I figured out how to beat Obama.

Like the graphical style, very cool that it was all made in raw C++
Not sure if weird humor or political message though o.O

@Bernhard, weird humor... taking to the extreme/making fun of the Obama scandals with birth cert being fake/people saying he is from terrorism etc. I used the theme twice, beneath the surface everything is evil, and beneath the surface it is actually REALLY easy to kill Obama... just sit there and spam click you deal damage faster than him, stop tryharding/juking him. Stop complaining about that people! :P

Is this FISTS or FIST of Truth? We need to know the real truth.

Great game. I give it four fake birth certificates out of five

@Voxel It's both, and neither. Everything is a lie.
