Drug Hunt by kill0u

[raw]
made by kill0u for LD26 (JAM)
/!\ Warnings:
- This game was developped at 60 FPS and may not be playable on slow computers. Sorry, I noticed too late that HaxePunk had set the default fps to 60, and couldn't modify it any more without breaking the minigames.
- This game may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.


Controls:
- The gameplay is meant to be minimalist: you can only use one action (triggered by ENTER or SPACE).
- I added a sound ON/OFF toggle with M key.


----------

In Drug Hunt, you are a junkie.
Your usual drug dealer will give you your favorite drug (or another one.. he's too high anyway). Take it, and here comes your trip!

You'll have to find out the adequate moment to use the only action your reduced brain could trigger, and get out of your trip before the overdose.

Rules ? What rules ? Just get high :D
(and use your only action when you feel it's needed -- the lack of explanations is voluntary)

Really nice ! I loved the audio and the concept.

You could add more drugs if you had the time but it's fun. It took me at least 30 seconds to understand what to do :P.

Nice take on the Wario Ware concept, but you know... drugging it up. The music and sound effects were really neat, which helped.

I think the thing that surprised me most about this entry was just how quickly I started to "get it." The little mini games are so lacking in any kind of context, and there's so little to go on that it's kind of miraculous that the human brain can pick anything out of that mess at all.

Great job!

KillOu, ton jeu d茅chire. ^^

Il n'y a pas d'instruction, pas de texte, mais on est pris dedans tout de suite. C'est un tourbillon de folie. De plus, meme si je n'ai pas compris tous les mini-jeux, ils sont plus fou les uns que les autres.

C'est un jeu digne du sujet de ce 26 茅me LD. F茅licitations !!

PS : t'as pris lesquel durant le LD ? :P

Love the fucked-up-everything about this (especially the sound!). Gameplay is unclear until you experiment, but once you get the hang of it, it's a solid minigame-spree. <3

Only real complaint is that it's frustratingly difficult to choose what drug you want to take.

After I figured out how to play its really fun! Could not win balancing bad/good meter at the middle for some time. More minigames would make this game less repeatable. Otherwise loved it!

I don't know if this is what being on drugs is like so I can't speak to the realism in this game, but as a collection of timing / minigames it's superb. It's just so obvious when you should press space! Especially when potato appears.

I'm torn between two opinions, because I'm not comfortable with the way the subject is treated : To present experinece drug as a "trip or die" game. In a sense, this is a very minimalist view. So it would certainly be consistent with the context of LD.
I love the realization in terms of graphics, animation, music and presentation. On fun and humor, I preferred to abstain from voting.

@Make A Game: hmm I did ~500.000 last time so I guess it's not much :D

The points earned in each mini-game depend on :
- The ongoing combo. This is the main point here.
- The time. The faster you are, the more points you get.
You get an additional bonus (2000 points if I remember well) when you finish a drug.

The line alignment and flower alignment and animations to press SPACE on time gripped my attention. The flashing perturbed me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered attending to the rhythm between trial transitions?

75444 pts ! Some mini-games are unforgiving and way harder so it seems a bit unfair (mushroom-words-potato thingie is almost impossible), and sometimes it's hard to figure out when to act (pill-drug games mostly).
Apart from that (polish thingies), this is BY FAR the most fucked up entry I've played so far, yet I enjoyed it a lot, as you managed to throw insane things on my face yet kept me entertained for several games. Really an excellent job here guys :D

@EggDestroyer:
For the words minigame, it is meant to be very difficult, as it gives a great bonus (42.666 points) and is related to potatoes (subtheme) ;)
I agree for some pill-drug games though =/

It was very fun. It`s pure gameplay, nothing else. However, some minigames are harder than others (the potato one, for example). Ended with 300246 score.
Sometimes it`s hard to tell if the game slowed down or it`s lagging.
And I feel a bit dizzy.

Sweet! I like the "What are you buying?" type of vendor.
I like the minigames and some of them are pretty tricky.
Graphics are pretty funky and it really fits your game. Same for the sfx. Very good mood on there. Couple minutes after playing I can still feel the effects. Haha!

Nice little trip to the LSD universe!

Pretty good game. I like the set-up, and the graphics and audio are good, but the gameplay itself didn't hold my attention for that long. Probably a taste thing. Nevertheless, a solid entry.


SPOILER

Very nice way to bring in the potato theme. A point off for misspelling "potato", though. (Or maybe that was the drugs' fault.)

This game oozes style, the sound work is amazing, and while some of the puzzles are really difficult to follow, it helps to add tension to the game and get you worked up in just the right way. The puzzles do get repetitive, and I would suggest variations on each individual one (where for a given scene you didn't have to press action at the same point each time) as it would make player think more before acting.
