Funzi Islands by gingerbeast

made by gingerbeast for LD29 (JAM)

Welcome to Funzi islands! This is our Ludum Dare Jam entry, we've finished with 6 hours to spare and we managed to get some sleep, that seems like a positive outcome to me!

Funzi islands is written in javascript, it uses create.js and jQuery. (with a little bit of PHP to power our high scores).

We have tested the game in chrome and firefox.

We had a great time making the game and we hope that you have a fantastic time playing it!

Our team comprised of four members, 2 of us primarily tackled the code and 2 the music. We then all jumped it to do all the sprite sheets (and there ended up being a lot of those!).

Have fun - GingerBeast

A bit glitchy, but I feel like that made me like the game more. I felt very unprotected by the game designer from the inner ferocity of the game's power; I hit refresh a million times and the sound looped over itself into an infinite noisescape and then tentacles swarmed the island and I was like WOAH OH NO PLEASE HELP

Four stars.

Pretty fun, music seems to have a glitch where it becomes robotic after a while though, which was a little irritating.

This game makes no sense... I love it. I didn't really know what to do after I got the boat. What next?

Nice one! I like the graphics, music and sound effects. The game mechanics are pretty good, but I think there's a bug in the logic - I kept on getting prompted to buy a boat even though I'd already bought one (and the boat icon was in the top right). Good fun, though!

Nice game. I liked it but it was rather short. I had two issues with it: When I died and restarted the game, I could not walk over the bridges (you probably don't reset the state when resetting the game). I had to refresh the browser window. After the high score screen, somehow 2 music tracks started playing simultanously.

Thanks for the comments guys, and letting us know about a few of the bugs! I've fixed a few of them up, I spent far too long drawing tentacles and not enough time play testing ;-)
After you get the boat, collect more gold, and then use the plane to escape, it should take about 3-4 minutes to complete.

This game is strangely fun. I love the tentacles and the sound the guy makes when he gets hit.

This is pretty cool! I like the dynamic music and just the concept of an island constantly under siege by giant tentacles. It's cute that you guys all jumped in to do the art at the end, but the art assets did kinda wind up looking like they were done in different styles.

Cool music! Makes for a cool, relaxed mood. Game is kinda hard, but once you get used to it, it gets pretty easy to follow. Thanks for the tutorial though :)

Great fun to play game with a very unique concept. Sadly I couldn't get enough money to buy a plane, I was always too slow and got caught by the tentacles.
