Ten Seconds of LASER by AGDG_REJECT

[raw]
made by AGDG_REJECT for LD27 (COMPO)
Source is included with all downloads!

It is a simple maze game. You are dropped from a helicopter which sticks around for ten seconds and reveals the maze to you, but after that you are on your own.

You can also fire a LASER for ten whole seconds. It doesn't really do anything but it is still super cool!

You win by reaching the green glowing spot towards the bottom.

Controls: Left/Right arrow keys move left and right. Hold up for a whole second to open nearby doors. Hold down to slip down narrow passages. Esc will quit the game.

Press any key to start, or respawn if you die from touching a red thing. If you are still alive, pressing any other key will fire your LASER for as long as you hold it down.

Written in ANSI C, using Allegro 5. Graphics were done in Photoshop and audio done in Audacity, recorded with those white apple headphone/microphones that come with iphones.

I hope you like it, but I anticipate that you will find it lacking. Collision is kind of buggy and a few other things aren't quite how I wanted them to be, but it can't be helped. At least it is in right?

OSX Only? Shame. I'd love to give this a shot.

Okay so really nice little tiny retro-ish pixels but not sure where the 10 seconds comes in? I win in just 37.442 seconds.

What are the flags that you compiled with?
I'm really close to getting a linux executable of this for you.

More people would use Linux here than OSX.
Just saying...

Looks nice. Shame I can't play it.

Porting to Linux is complete... I hope. I'm still working on a Windows port.

I won in 41 seconds? In a 10 second timer?

Lasers increased the fun by a factor of 10. :D

Looks great, I love the art. Maybe if there was more of an urgency to getting to the goal, like if instead of the laser you had a flare which lit up the maze but could only be lit for 10 seconds or something. Nice job doing a ludum dare in C by the way! :)

nice graphics, but as you said yourself, it's kinda buggy so it's hard to walk up or down up in the maze.

The character moved only half a step with 1 keypress, so I spared my keybooard for awhile and finished in 72 sec.. (ok, shooted with the laser for at least half a minute :D

Really easy game. Would've been a lot better if harder.
