Tito's Revenge by brinkhousegames

[raw]
made by brinkhousegames for LD35 (COMPO)
Play as Tito in this top down, western inspired action shooter, with a just a touch of sci-fi. All his recently buried friends have shapeshifted into spirits, and it's his job to make sure they don't get away.

Windows & Mac builds tested, Linux is untested. Sorry!

--

"I just buried my friends after a shootout gone awry, but those damn Evil Souls won't stop releasing them from their graves! Well, I think they are going to be surprised when they meet my little friend, El' VaccuumOLaser5000. They are going to wish they never stepped foot in my graveyard."

Wow, lots of good things to say about this one. The music is fantastic, really sets a fun mood. The vacuuming is a lot of fun, surprisingly more so than just collecting by walking on top of them. Good sound effects and visual effects, and the bathroom idea was funny.

It's easy to see how you could expand this- let you upgrade your vacuum, gun, have more monsters, etc.

Awesome job! 5 stars from me!

Awesome! Best graphics yet and feels great to play! The particle effects and vector art style are excellent. Shooting felt good too.

I think it would be improved by making it more obvious when you get hurt, like a flash or shake, and it needs more enemy variety. Other than that, great game!

Loved the art style, didn't like how Left click would have to be re clicked every time I got a white soul thing, but the right click could be held forever. The effect you added for the damage/death was top notch.

Looks really cool... But not much here. Gamplay is sorta odd and floaty and very basic.

Great sound - music wrapped up when game's over was really nice.

This is a visual and auditory treat for a 48-hour jam (though there seemed to be a touch of clipping on the shoot sound). The damage effect was great, the environment was neat, and the audio was really nice overall. Great job on the banjo music. The vacuum was a neat idea, though could be smoothed out, and the overall gameplay is pretty basic, but it's polished. Very nice work, though the visuals and audio outclassed the mechanics.

I got to level 5 and a dark soul spawned near me and killed me. I like there's a bathroom :D Good simple controls! Awesome audio! and the fact guy says whoops when he kills light soul :D

Nice art and music. I think I died more from the cactus than the evil souls!

Nice game :)

What I liked:
The music
The sound effects
The gameplay felt nice and direct
The bathroom break (put a smile on my face, when I walked in there :) )
The graphics
The old 3D movie effect when damaged

What I didn't like:
When an evil soul gets too close, your bullets go right through them
I would have preferred it if I could hold the left mouse button
The cacti look like shiny green rocks to me and only when I read the description did I realise it
Didn't notice where the theme comes in

Couldn't possibly give anything lower than 5 for Graphics and Audio, it's absolutely lovely.

I really like the visual style and the idea!
The gameplay is a bit repetitive, but still really good entry!

Wow!! The game looks AMAZING!!
I saw your comment on my game! I really appreciate the feedback :)
Thanks for that and letting me know about your game.. Its so cool!
Love the image effects! Nicely polished gameplay.
Gets kinda repetitive with only 2 enemies, but I understand the time limit :)
But everything else is polished so much that you tend to forget that :P
Amazing work again for 2 days... impressive!!
Audio and graphics.. 5 stars hands down!!

Very polished for a jam game! Love top down shooters, and this was good fun to play. Would've liked to see more varied enemy types, but perhaps I just didn't get far enough. Either way, it's a fantastic foundation for a finished game!

Wow ! that's a good one .
The art and graphics are definitely cool.
I liked the blending between scifi and the westeren theme.
Your take on the theme,though, is somehow lacking
maybe it could have been that you use the souls you collect and shift their shapes to bullets
(like collectible ammo)

Superb graphics and polished feel! Would be nice to have some upgrades and stuff, but this level of polish is really impressive for 48 hours!

Cool game, but the gameplay is a little slow to get interesting and challenging.

Cool game, the dark souls are not shootable if they are to close.

Best music in any game I've played so far. Gameplay was a little too easy maybe, but the aesthetic is absolutely fantastic.

Holy chromatic aberration! :P
I enjoyed this, and apart from a few niggles (enemies sticking too close when damaging you, perhaps another use for the white souls) this is a pretty solid entry.

I think the porta-a-john is the most creative version of a health giver I've ever seen!

Nice graphics, good audio, don't care for the theme but that's a personal thing, Gameplay isn't the most original but it is well tuned and fun.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
