Grand Wreck Auto by naufr4g0

[raw]
made by naufr4g0 for LD25 (JAM)
You are a thug, who like violence and to vandalize things punching them. Your aim is to destroy all cars on the screen avoiding cops.
Try to destroy cars when cops are far enough. If a cop see you vandalizing a car, he run to you and hit your face with a club!
I'm sorry for the bugs. I'll try to remove them soon.
Enjoy the game and leave me a comment.

Controls:
Arrow keys = move
Z = throw a punch

UPDATE: I uploaded a post-jam version of the game, where I solved some bugs and activated all menus. The game is also a bit more easy to complete since I improved collision detection.
There is also available a jam version for OSX.

When I press "Play" the game crashes and I have installed the vcredist 2012. :(

Try to open the game more times. I know there are some bugs (the game surely doesn't work 2 times in the same session), but I'm working to correct them.

@krutech: Try this version:

@MaTX: you have to download Microsoft VS2012 redistributable from: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/3/2/13297EFB-ED35-46B5-BD9A-F32CF7CC2CFF/VSU1/vcredist_x86.exe

Nice looking game, but setting the options doesn't seem to work for me.

I guess I understand why your game crashes: I just set full screen:off in options and it worked.
The game is very hard by the way. But the music and grraphics are very nice.

Nice little game, a little bit difficult

The game doesn't work for me and I have the redistributable installed (as far as I know). Additionally trying to install the redistributable I got an error on that.

Will try to play it again later on on a different computer.

@tumoxep: thanks for trying to make the game work, but options menu don't affect the game anyway. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
@Kuulog: I had no time to add this feature, although I had expected it.
@Starspell: I hope you manage to make it work on the other computer. :)
@dsoft20: thanks! I hope you have it finished!

Really nice pixel art and sounds. Although I am not sure how I am supposed to avoid those superpowered guards :D

Nice entry!

@Starspell: I uploaded a new version with a lot of bugs fixed. Let's try it! :)

@MaTX: you could fight, until they fall unconscious to the ground. ;)

I just found it really difficult to actually get more than 2 cars. Once you have people attacking you from both sides it's just tennis, I can't see a way to win this. I can't tell what ducking does either. Nice graphics though.

@Brothers: I assure you that you can. :)
Anyway I know about the game difficulty, but having created only one level, I couldn't do otherwise.
I'm planning to create more levels with increasing difficulty and new blows (punches and kicks).

I would love to see a vid of you beating the game :) Maybe it runs differently for you but from my experience You can't run away from being punched, it's luck who gets the first punch in, and that person is the one who dominates for the rest of the fight, people only stay down for about 2 seconds, there's nowhere you can punch a car from without being seen, if you get started on from both sides, you're dead, and if enough people start on you at least one will not be unconscious at any given moment, meaning you can never run away (you die) haha. Seriously, I have no idea how anyone could beat this game!! I'm intruiged.

The graphics are very nice, but it's way too hard. The cops gang up on you and you can't do much against them.

@BrothersT: I invite you to try the post-jam version of the game I just uploaded. I think is a bit too easy.
Anyway I'll soon make a vid of me beating the original jam version. :)
@h.attila: If you want, try the post-jam version.

This game looks so good, and I'm sure it'd be a blast to play, but the cops are way stronger than you are. It needs either more balance or... a JUMP BUTTON!

Dunno if you've added either of those in the post compo, might take a look soon!

Otherwise you did do a pretty good job!
