CHUCK by brodavi

[raw]
made by brodavi for LD26 (JAM)
Wow what a mess. Play at your own risk.

CHUCK takes you into the basement. You (Snazzy) and your roommates (Dbag, Monk, Ardiente) have amassed far too much stuff. You all desire to be minimalists, and get rid of your stuff. Move with arrow keys or wasd. Throw stuff at your roommates by aiming and clicking with the mouse. If you can get rid of all your stuff, you win.

Can't figure out what to do ? Seems bugged (can't trow).

if you click on the screen, the guy doesn't throw? Oh! Could be a browser thing. We only targeted Opera and Chrome. We have an mp3 so Firefox complains, but if you're getting past that, I *think* it will work.

Definitely broken in Firefox... works well in Chrome. I like the art and the music!

This entry has as lot of heart and personality, that shows easily. Both the visuals and the musics' quality are about what you can expect from a jam entry.

But, other than that, it's nothing more than a 3-4 seconds clickfeast. Bam, you're done. The other characters' behavior ranges from standing still doing nothing to throwing stuff between them at close range and completely ignoring you. Also, the theme is nowhere to be seen, besides the entry's description.

And it's too bad, because the concept seems to have a lot of potential, as this sort of zero-sum shooter. But, right now, there's not a game there, yet.

Keep it up!

I like the graphics and music but the gameplay is too simple and the game far too easy.

I won! Wait...ok. Took me a minute to work out the way the game played. I guess I'd compare it to an arena brawler, sort of? It's an interesting variation, in that you're giving away your hit points to the other players...
