It would benefit greatly if it had a bit of music also. Cool idea to make the enemies turn red when they are almost dead.\r\rClassic gameplay. Looks fun, but as I said it would be a bit better if it was faster and maybe more ennemies."},{"author_name":"SkyTheCoder","author_uid":"27788","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:37am","epoch":1377567120,"text":"Custom sounds aren't built in to Codea yet, they're coming in the next update. Currently there's only the built-in sound() function, which uses custom wavelengths and stuff. I have no idea how to use it, but currently you can't import sound.\r\rI was worried the characters would be too fast. Now that I look back, though, it is quite slow. And I found out about LD 27 late, and I started coding immediately. When I checked the website today it said I had about an hour and a half, and I hadn't even implemented the stars. I just had time to finish that and I posted it. If only I had more time, I would have had more enemies. Maybe I'll work on that as a separate project..."},{"author_name":"nathanhoffer","author_uid":"25795","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 2:27am","epoch":1377570120,"text":"12 years old? Great job then.

The graphics look good but the speed of the game is incredibly slow. It also takes forever to kill enemies. The bullets also seem to be going through the enemies, which is odd... unless they were LASER BEAMS!\r\rWell done for getting in an entry, looks pretty solid. Just a shame we can't play it for ourselves."},{"author_name":"Jimanzium","author_uid":"24428","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1377632220,"text":"The player moves a bit slow but the graphics style is rather interesting, it's simple but looks good."},{"author_name":"Vasileiadis","author_uid":"25993","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 7:55pm","epoch":1377633000,"text":"Wow dude, when I was 12 I was.. well.. nevermind ;) What I wasn't doing though was entering game jams! Great job for a first entry! \r\rA couple of pointers, if I may: \r\rFaster (not harder though) gameplay, a simple silly dying animation and a repetitive background loop are easy ways to makes it more addictive!\r\rGameplay shouldn't be too repetitive - add different waves, a boss or whatever, they don't have to be hard to make, just make them faster, bigger, tougher - and reward more points ;)\r\rA simple, even silly, story like "Make it to the end to save your family" can help people immerse more in the game.\r\rOther than that, it's fun and a really great start as I see it!

You drag from the character in the center of the screen to where you want him to go, and use a second finger to aim and shoot zombies. You start out with ten seconds to play and collect stars for ten more seconds. You get a total of 240 points for killing each zombie, and you can tell how much health a character has by their tint. The more red the less health.\r\n\r\nNote: This app was made entirely on iPad with an awesome app called Codea, which lets you code in Lua. This is my first entry and first time exporting code from Codea, so I'm not too sure on how the download links work. I'll try my best, though.\r\n\r\nVideo: (As requested by Tork)\r\nhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/yHn0shhCd2o\r\n\r\nMade by one 12-year-old in 21 hours.","title":"10Life"}
