Hostile Hostels by crashbanito

[raw]
made by crashbanito for LD25 (COMPO)
***Bugfix Update (The source has been updated to reflect changes)***
*Fixed a potentially game breaking bug where the player would have to wait 100 seconds after the final wave before they would receive their win screen. It is now 10 seconds as intended

***Plays best in Chrome, Firefox, and later versions of IE***

***You do not need to click every bird; you can simply click and drag over them. You'll be wanting that extra finger endurance for the end game***

Welcome to Hostile Hostels!

The name of the game is shady Hotel Management. Create hotels on grave sites as a horrible way to stop brave adventures from getting to their destination. Try your best to prevent the good guys from surviving the night.

This is my first Ludum Dare entry and my second game I've ever finished.

Enjoy,
Chaz Louviere (Crashbanito)

***Did you know? After awhile the game becomes so overloaded with enemies that they stop spawning. After a friend triggered this, I decided to create a win screen. Attach a screenshot if you can survive that long!***

The title is funny, but it could just as well be called 'Dove genocide'

Like tower defense in 1-D! Music is interesting

Very rare that someone would do acapella for their game music, so I must give you high marks for that! You need far more to do than clicking on the little doves, though.

BTW, thanks for including the source as a series of files instead of just one .GMK bundle. I wish more GM users would do that.

Funny little game. Good job with the music, the gameplay itself is what's letting the game down a bit.

Yeah, I really wish I had the time to incorporate more building types and ratchet up the pace a bit.

The music is amazing. I really liked the game.

Progression was a little slow - it would be great to have more options. Great work.

Music was great.

In Chrome, for some reason it scales up too large to fit the view, and I can't read all the instructional text and much of the game is offscreen. Seems to render correctly in Firefox though.

@csanyk That's odd as I used to Chrome primarily to test it. Have you tried zooming out a bit in your browser?

Funny music. I'm not sure if you intended it, but if you hold down the mouse button and drag it across the sky, you can kill the birds without clicking. Overall it is pretty cute, however, I wish there were more to do.

It was really fun, I enjoyed the music. I got to 811 seconds, by that time there really was no hope for me.

Interesting, although I could never manage to upgrade to the 3rd hotel. I didn't really get why the hotels kept geting knocked down.

@Jezzamon Basically, the heroes are trying to tear them down and they can get a hit in before they lose a hit of life, as the towers are very dangerous.

The music is hilarious and the game is fun, but my finger got so tired of clicking on those doves.

Slightly dull gameplay, but hilarious music!

It's DoveClicker 2000(tm)! The music is fun and major points for those hum-pom-pomming it. (Yes, that is a verb, since today) Like the other tower defence games, it's more of a weird sideshow than a game, but fun in a frantic sort of way. Your screenshot shows $149500, I don't even want to know how many dove-clicks that took!

Wonderfully disturbing soundtrack. Creates a nice atmosphere for the game :D

Yeah now I see why you wanted us to zoooom in. My huge monitor made it nearly impossible at the default size. The doves were like microscopic little things! Great and hilarious music and sound effects. The gameplay is a bit bare, but you have a decent start to a new type of TD.

Impossible to win! I've had about a million bucks and still couldn't click as fast as they destroyed my hotels :( But nice game though, and loved the music.
