GutsyBot vs the Universe by pawlmurray

[raw]
made by pawlmurray for LD23 (JAM)
Update!: I've uploaded the source for whoever is interested. Feel free to use any of my code or study an of it. I would like to state that the musical assets are property of Zachary Citron and may NOT be used without his permission.

Worked primarily on this by myself.

Definitely going to write up a big Post Mortem later. Spent way too much time trying to make sprites for the main character.

Was lucky enough to have one of my talented friends make some musics. Music by the truly baller Zac Citron. [Check him out at about.me/zaccitron]

Had a blast doing this all, hope you guys enjoy it.

As of now you'll have to run a setup so that you can install the game (it was made using C# and XNA). I'll upload the source when I get home tonight from work.

Follow me on twitter if you want to see what I create in the future [https://twitter.com/#!/Pawl_Murray]

A bit basic, and a bit difficult towards the end.

Not bad! Could use more variety in gameplay, but overall it's pretty stylish.

I second Canard about not liking setup files; please provide binaries!

Like the little defense game. I feel like it needs analogue controls tough. The way it is setup it gets really tricky to aim at incoming guys from a distance.

Not bad at all! Got pretty frantic there towards the end! I think it would've been easier to have the shooting independent of the movement, but the way it is does certainly lend a bit more of a challenge to it. Thanks!

Basic mechanics but not bad.
