Blight on Happy Land by Tifu

[raw]
made by Tifu for LD25 (COMPO)
[NOTE] Please judge the non-bug fixed version, the bug fix version was made outside of the 48 hours and exists just so people can play the thing if they encounter the game breaking 'tiles falling too fast' bug and still want to play. Thanks!


Blight on Happy Land is a simple little platformer game, you play the role of a mean little imp who is going to destroy Happy Land. He does this by walking over the grassy tiles and destroying them. Destroy all the tiles without falling off into the void to win each level!

Controls: WASD to move, Space to jump!

There's no real sound, and no real ending (other than some congratulations text if you stand in front of the level trophies) but you can play through six levels, and your progress should save between play sessions.

This has been pretty good Unity and Blender practice :D


*EDIT*
Regarding comments of the game's difficulty, apparently the tiles fall at different speeds on different spec computers! I didn't make use of the Time.deltaTime function which is what I get for using a program I am unfamiliar with to do a Ludum Dare :D

This video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlc0TrsgMVs - shows how it runs on my computer, as you can see, you are supposed to be able to just walk straight across a row of grassy tiles without falling. So... yeah... that sucks. But at least I learned something =F



*edit*
Uploaded hopefully fixed versions for those who want to play the game properly, obviously just judge the broken version :P

Nice game! Very strange camera angle though.

Not as easy as I thought! :) The camera is indeed a bit strange.

Very, VERY difficult. By the way, it runs fine in WINE too :)

Too hard? I didn't expect that at all, I wonder if something is wrong somewhere... are the tiles just falling way too fast? There is supposed to be plenty time to get off them...

I destroyed Happyland. It took a couple of goes, but it was a good experience. Perhaps some sound would've been nice...

Really like this game.. Like the others say the camara angle is weird and doesnt intuitivly match the controls. but once you get used to it, its fun to play. and nice graphics

Controls felt very unintuitive, my only complaint. Game was pretty fun otherwise.

Noooo! You monster! You used the control scheme where "up" is top left rather than top right!

As some people are experiencing the game at different speeds due to my uh... lack of knowledge about Unity... I have uploaded a fixed version that should run at the correct speed regardless of your comp. Obviously just judge the unfixed version as the fix was done outwith the time limit.

I cant play, i have a FR keyboard (azerty). Need a config for this problematic wen you code a game for many countries. Not all have querty keybards.

The angle took a while to get to, but afterwards, this was quite an enjoyable experience. And I like the decorative animals!

There were a few bugs that kept me from finishing the game (because I got to frustrated):
- At stair passages: Sometimes blocks I touched didn't fall. Maybe I jumped over them?
- The jump-again-if-you-still-hold-the-key killed me more than one time, and I don't see anywhere in the game where you would WANT to jump again :(

Other than that, I quite like it!

the camera doesn't help much, but was very fun and a very nice idea!

I like the concept! It would be nice if you could go diagonally and the camera turned with the character though.

Nice, it took some trying but I managed to destroy Happy Land! Wish there had been even some congratulation screen or something as a reward for the effort though, because the game is really difficult because of the little off collision detection, camera angle and controls.

Interesting game concept it combines platformer with a simple puzzle game. Camera angle make it sometimes hard to control. Nonetheless very good entry I realy liked and I played it longer than most of games.

Nice idea and good implementation. I tried the bug-fix version, as I think a little bug-fix does not interfere with the way I judge games. The controls were a bit hard to get used to, but the game itself was really addictive as I tried all of the worlds a couple of times and succeeded in more than half of them. Good entry!

I like the concept but found it quite difficult. Its very easy to miss tiles and get into a fail state that you can't get back out of. I'm not sure the floor tiles need to fall away, or perhaps they should fall after a longer period of time (to give you chance to backtrack)

An excellent game! all what it misses is sound and a story :)
