Wrath of the Hash Slinging Slasher by Vnator

[raw]
made by Vnator for LD27 (JAM)
Note: This game requires OpenGL 2.0 to run and will not start up without it. If doesn't start up, you probably have 1.0.

The game is in Java and can be run on any OS (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Use WASD to move and the mouse to aim and use your weapon when you get one.

If you're confused about the phone call on level 6, remember the 3 signs of the Hash Slinging Slasher. At least the second.

It runs, but I've got a weird bug!

I'm getting the same error. A white box is taking up a quarter of the screen.

Excellent. Gameplay: lengthy enough and good. Difficulty: Balanced. Maybe there weren't ultra-modern graphics but the fun i had definitely makes up for it. 5/5 on Fun.

Unable to launch using java6-openjdk or java7-openjdk on Ubuntu 10.10:

Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Texture width and height must be powers of two: 800x480

@ psema4- It looks like Ubuntu uses Open GL 1.0 rather than 2.0, which this game requires. Open GL 1.0 requires that the textures be powers of 2, so to play it, I'd recommend you find a way for your computer to run Open Gl 2.0.

Good luck :)

I've changed something small and possibly meaningless in the code that will hopefully get rid of the white rectangle taking up 1/4 of the screen problem.

If that doesn't help, can anyone with sufficient experience in LibGDX give me any advice? Thanks!

Fun enough that I was determined to kill the end boss. I liked it, very innovative use of the theme for sure. Some collision issues for sure, but not that annoying. :)

Really cool game, although the graphics and fonts are a bit poor ;). I like the tutorial and the talking info boxes!

Thanks for fixing it. I replayed it, and I liked it a lot. Clever use of the theme which reminded me of the SCP Game. I freaked out a little on the Weeping Angel level. Good work.

@zanzidorf

Wait, the fix worked? I just had a really random and out-of-place hunch, and it looks like that did the trick! Yay!
