Panzers by Canard Sauvage

[raw]
made by Canard Sauvage for LD26 (JAM)
Panzers, a game about, well, tanks. The game has 4 levels. For the first 3 levels you just need to reach the upper right corner. The 4th level is a boss fight :) And: Potatoes!

For the theme: We tried a minimal tank-game with a minimum of colors (8 colors and the levels contain only 5) and no UI. I'm not sure if we really hit the theme, but the music is real 8-bit ;)

- Java, LibGDX (currently not working under Mac OS X with newest Java, it will most likely only work with Java 1.6 under Mac)
- The small version has some text-bugs, the scaling is not working correct.
- HTML5 may come tomorrow, I have some issues with the GWT project setup

Controls: WASD (and SPACE in Level 2,3 and 4)

Update: Added a native mac-port in the lower resolution with scrolling text.
- Win/Linux (Java-Jar-File, untouched) in 1536x768
- Low Resolution (1024x512)
- Mac-App (1024x512)

Update2: Added the HTML5-Port, had to change the way the text ist rendered.
- HTML5 (1536x768)
- HTML5_low (1024x512)

I loved the humour in this game. And the music was really catchy (albeit got a bit repetitive after I died for the 8th time in the first level :p)

Super cool game! I loved the visuals, nice simple gameplay which turned out to be challenging. Btw, is that Jean Luc Picard who looks away ashamed whey you failed? :D
Great game, that fits perfectly the theme! Good job!

Was a bit for my screen at first, good thing that I could zoom out and it worked alright =)

A lot of content here, I like it. The player hitbox is way too large, which is bad for a bullet hell style game.
