OneChance by Makdaam

[raw]
made by Makdaam for LD28 (COMPO)
Make the right choices! You have only one go at making the best out of this world divided by lava. Will you shoot first, or maybe just talk?

Playtime: 1~5min

This is my "learn to love2d" game. Nothing serious :)

If you want to let someone else replay the game on your computer press "Q" instead of "SPACE" on the start screen.
No cheating! Only one playthrough per player.

Post your GAME OVER messages in the comments if you can, I'm curious what path you chose :)

Oh, and you need Love2D installed on Linux/Mac to play the game, get it from https://www.love2d.org/ or your system repo.

Haha, that gamespeed! Terrific. I like me some good speedy games. Interesting game idea man, the game however was a bit tóó fast.

The game doesn't work, I was not able to destroy the house, and it is generally unfinished. That being said...I think if it were finished, and the graphics were finalized, it would be fun. Great potential...but unfinished.

I forgot to save the game over message but I fell to death because I walked too far to the right sight and fell into a yellow sea. I don't know if it was a bug or a feature but in my game all buildings and NPCs were constantly bouncing, which made them look really happy.

I noticed too late that you can shoot your weapon (while falling down into the lava sea) and the game won't let me play again to test it out.

Hmm, it seemed to bug a bit for me, nice idea though. Firstly a rode the plane thing down a ditch and the game errored and closed. Then I accidentally shot the plane with the plane and my score kept going up infinitely.

Felt broken. Played it on Windows 7, seems like it couldn't write to a directory when I died or something. Music was cute, projectile sounds and graphics too, but didn't retain my attention after first death unfortunately :S sorry!

I don't really understand the game. Once I lost, I had to delete the love cache to get the game to run again. Sounds like the "You only have one chance" to win this game :)

The game concept is great! But it feels unfinished. Keep working on it!

Cool idea, music and sound effect! I didn't really like the constant jumping and it was pretty difficult to move around. At the error I got a write error, but maybe that was because I opened it right out of the zip file.

I didn't read your whole description first, so I didn't take a screenshot, sorry. I killed a couple people and then died. Wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do besides that. Now that I have actually read your description, this is a really interesting idea.

I blew up the house. I think. There was a ton of stuff going on that I didn't understand, but I understood dropping the bombs.

Suddenly the screen said "main.lua 1059: Could not set write directory."

This came from checkEndState.

I went left and fell off a cliff into a bug "error could not set write directory". Else I shot loads of blue dudes :) then got "error could not set write directory"

Seriously this game is veeeery slow? Maybe my laptop is too slow?
Anyways game has many bugs. For first it's too slow. When I clicking up/down arrows on keyboard the camera moves beyond character and my vehicle ( or something like this}...
But if this is Your, as you say "learning love2d game", keep trying to do some good. Maybe You create great game in next Ludum Dare ;)

The game is too slow, but for a "learn love2d game" is good.
