Starlit Shoot-Out by NiallM

[raw]
made by NiallM for LD27 (COMPO)
Local 2-player duel. You have a shield and one bullet. When the timer runs out you lose your shield. Last woman standing wins.

(I recommend playing on Windows if possible; lua's os.clock() function screws up the countdown on OSX and Linux)

Nicely done! I loved the western theme music. Also, extra fun-ness for making it multiplayer

Nice multiplayer game, and good use of the theme. I love how it features females :P I featured it in my compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you want to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Polnsp4F8

An interesting idea and nice graphics. Seems to be lacking content. Requiring more than one to play is a bit much. A simple AI could have been included.

Very simple gameplay but a really nice execution! :D The music is just awesome. And the visual art is great too. Reminds me of this paper cut style.

I couldn't install it on Linux from your instructions, could you provide clearer commands as I wanna play it! :-)

Neat! The game is quite fun, the theme music is excellent... oh, and I can redefine keys, thanks a ton for that!

Sorry for being slow to respond; have been kind of busy. Thanks for the kind comments everyone :)

@TheDreik: Sorry about that. If you pass -debug to the game on the command line, it'll generate a debug log, which *might* help me track down what's causing the crash.

@lazyeels: I'm not entirely sure how I can make it any easier. I don't know how to make a Linux binary that will work universally, so I figure distributing it as source code is the simplest solution. To reiterate what's in the INSTALL file, you need to install the various libraries that the game depends on via your package manager, then (in a terminal) navigate to the game's 'build' directory and enter the command: cmake ..
Followed by: sudo make install

Awesome game! I like especially the music and the sound effects. And the slow down of the bullets is great also.

It crashes for me as well - under similar circumstances. Passing -debug doesn't give a error message unfortunately.

@Starspell: Oh, I should have made that more clear. It should have left a log file named something like NiallDebugFile-1378063619.txt in your home directory?
