Minimalistic Shooter by Anickyan
This is the game I made for Ludum Dare 26. I only had very limited time, so didn't set my goals too high. It works, though!
Controls:
Mouse - control player
LMB - shoot
W - move forwards
S - move backwards
I'm working on building for Mac OSX and Windows(and 32-bit Linux), but I needed to enter the game before the deadline.
PLEASE NOTE: The game might have a few bugs, I'll correct them tomorrow.
Also, if you're on Linux, it will sometimes not recognize libSDL_mixer.so in the lib/ folder, and you will have to execute this command:
sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
apt-get can be replaced by either pacman or yum

A few bugs here and there, but other than that, it was rather nice.
With more polish, better choice in sounds and more UI, this game had a lot of potential.
I would put some work on the background as well (random colored bg would do the trick). Keep it up
Give the ship inertia and wrap the screen (like asteroids) for a more dynamic feeling control scheme.
I liked the surprise end of game boss! :D
Nice particle effects.
I really missed moving sideways with A and D.
Knowing ones health would be good.
No but seriously. It's fun but it didn't keep me in it for long, Need a score tally as a minimum if nothing else otherwise if i walk away for 5 minutes i might aswell have just begun there's nothing to show how many awesome kills i've made and how far through i've got. If i hadn't read the comments i wouldn't have known to keep going for something.
