LudumData

OktumBoktum - A minimal adventure of a boy and his crazy pet by imagnity

[raw]
made by imagnity for LD26 (COMPO)
Online version works on good PC browsers like Chrome/Firefox, not on IE.

Zip file includes exe for Windows. Apk for Android. Jar for Mac and other platforms.

Android apk or apk qr code : http://tinyurl.com/ce23we2

This is my first Ludum Dare entry. Please bear with me. I never thought making graphics and music would take more time than coding. I used LibGDX framework. This has been really awesome! :)

Instructions: There's an in-game tutorial.

Installation: For windows, use the exe file. For Android, use the apk. For others, if you have java installed, use the jar file. Just open it with Java(TM).

I hope you like my effort. Will look forward to your feedback. Time to check out some games. Thank you.

Changed desktop control to use Left and Right arrows. Android version remains the same.

feels like a two player game? one controls the squirl (?) the other the girl? in any case: interesting game !

Nice, I wish it had keyboard controls though.

Cool! Thanks for that game. I`ve seen it at the second day but had no time to play.

Cool! Agree that the desktop ports definitely needed keyboard controls though... Or maybe I just suck?

@jhrrsn - I suck more. It really lacks the keyboard. Thanks. :)

Best game I played yet, very easy but entertaining mechanic (one might even say ... minimalist)

Good job

BTW for those on OSX10.8 in the terminal
type

cd [folder]
java -jar OktumBoktum_Desktop.jar to start

This is a hard game to play on pc, i'll be testing this on my cellphone. Nice game, I really like runners, and this one has a nice feature.

Should enable GPU v-synch on the desktop. Neat little game otherwise, controls could have been adapted for desktop.

@Mario - Enabling doesn't remove the stuttering unfortunately. Tested on Windows XP and Windows 8. Thanks.

Tricky game! I figured I'd quickly get used to the reversed control-scheme, but maybe not.

Overall, it's very well put together. Congratulations on your first entry!

Fun game. Impressive how just switching between two colors for two objects can be so tricky. I appreciated the keyboard controls. I wonder if switching the left-right mapping would have made the game any easier.

Man, that was actually fairly challenging. I gave up once I finally broke 1000 (just barely...1004), but I really enjoyed this. Very nice entry.

Very cute characters - I also like the backgrounds, reminds me of 'Pitfall' but more whimsical. Android version ran very nicely - although I never saw any dual-colour barriers ... maybe I just didn't do well enough to get up to that part.

Cooooool!

One of my early ideas was similar to this: You control some kind of ship and you have to change the colour of the screen to the colour of incoming balls (asteroids) to go through them.

It's beautifully done, the music is great and it is VERY addictive. My best so far is 1132.

One of the most fun game i've played in this LD. The aesthetic, audio and gameplay are all great, and it really got my brain confused at times. Good job dude!

This is a great game, good simple mechanic that leads to fun gameplay. Great audio too, nicely done all around.

Really nice game, although I feel it would be easier on Android - this game feels like it's lending itself towards a two-finger playstyle.

Awesome music, great art style and clever gameplay. Any way to get that music?

Interesting game, nice music! I found cursor left for the right player and cursor right for the left player counterintuitive. The most successful strategy for me was just to keep both players in the same colour.

I got to 923 by changing their colors simultaneously. My brain couldn't handle left/right mapping to big/small characters. =)

The game animates nicely, and the difficulty ramps up at a good pace.

I feel like the controls were reversed, since the cat is in front of the guy running. Fun game, I like the ramp in difficulty :)
