Meatify by frcouceiro

[raw]
made by frcouceiro for LD24 (JAM)
Hi, we are Ruthless Games, a group of portuguese students who like to make games. This is our first released project, and we are happy to show you all our game.
Our game is called Meatify and revolves around the story of Zacarias, a fellow who wishes to become a butcher. However you don't control Zacarias in his quest to Ultimate Butchery, you will control the level around him and aid him in his advancement.
As Zacarias becomes more powerful, capable of a greater range of motions, your powers in the world will deminish, as Zacarias needs less help.
The story of Evolution of a person, with the aid of others.
Also, to show the real Evolution, we change the surrounding according to Zacarias' evolution.

We are very happy with the result, but as always with something made with a short deadline, there is always that little feature.

We were able, although, to create a level editor so that you can create you levels and share them.

Hope you enjoy our game as much as we enjoyed making it.

Note: the block on the bottom left corner represents the block you have selected to put, and on the right there are two blocks, which represent the moves (changes of level's blocks) you have left. Sorry but we didn't have time to implement anything fancier.

Controls:

1-9 pick block (some cannot be picked in some situations)
mouseclick add/remove block
r restart
space unleash Zacarias

PS: Includes Fart Jokes
PPS: If Zacarias stands in mid air at the beginning of the level, press R, it will all be ok.
PPPS: The game is in Java so requires it.

Pretty cool idea! The player could stand to move a bit faster, but I liked your little story-bits

Interesting take on the theme, it seems quite dull at first but gets more challenging later on. Good cutscenes and humour! Clicking the tiles in the lower corners seemed to quit the game, and the interface could be a bit clearer, but good job in the time!

Thanks, it's great knowing that our work is being recognized.
In the next days, we'll try to correct any bugs we find or are reported.
And thanks for the heads up!

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Resource not found: res/sounds/stage4/saltar.ogg

Running on Linux, can't really play it. "java -jar meatify-crossplatform.jar" is what I did.

This is one hell of an entry, awesome music, awesome graphics, awesome game. 5/5 on theme too, it's EXACTLY what evolving is all about.

For linux users, and you're having a problem with the load of resourcer (check the terminal), please go to the res folder and make sure the names are equal. We had a bit of problem with case sensitiviness
