LudumData

Toaster Boy by FreypodGames

[raw]
made by FreypodGames for LD 41 (JAM)

screen1.png screen3.png screen2.png

This game combines a towering stacking game like Tricky Towers and a 2d platformer shooter. Toaster boy must climb to the top of a tower to save his kitty. Avoid the enemy and make a tower to the top by stacking objects as they fall. Use WASD to move Toaster Boy and the arrow keys to control the falling objects. Space shoots the toaster.

This is my first Ludum Dare!

Bug Fixes:

4/23/18 10:20pm Fixed small bug that prevented text from properly displaying and the enemy helicopter from respawning. 4/24/18 9:00pm Fixed small bug that prevented props from spawning after hitting the enemy helicopter with a prop.

funny little game, I enjoyed playing it. Is it intended that the player sticks at the side of eg. the car?

I enjoy the concept, so it's unfortunate that the character sometimes gets stuck and can't jump while on top of an object. Well done on your entry, nonetheless!

Nice concept! It's like a shooter + The Incident. I'd like to see a things more hectic with the physics and falling objects, I think that could be really fun.

@langotriel I think that's an issue with the raycast I will probably fix that soon.

Nice work ! A simple but nice gameplay, graphics aren't bad either, and the mix of these themes is pretty good !

Really fun gameplay, I was so close to getting this kitten, but got stuck on stop sign :cry:

Wow! This is a nice idea!

Good job with this. I think the jump it could be polished because you get stuck in some places where you think you sohouldn't be stucked xD

I love the pixel art and how the gameplay feels.

Good job with this!

PS: I died for one shoot of the helicoper (I dont know if it is intended but I saw I had 3 lifes and I thought that I would have 3 hits)

This is really incredible I have students twice your age who can't pull off something as polished as this. The graphics are charming, the mechanics are solid and you should definitely keep developing this. Perhaps a way to get around objects that you're currently colliding with. I got stuck once or twice, but I'm sure this is easy enough to fix up going forward. Really well done, hugely impressed.

Really like the concept (I got so close!) but the shooting part felt almost like an afterthought, like a distraction, but the tower building was really fun.

Whoops, guess i'm screwed.
Funny concept, hard to play first because of the collisions making you stuck sometimes, but there's a bunch of assets, an efficient music loop, and a working gameplay loop. So I guess it's a gg for me. Those stop signs needs to be nerfed tho :P

Really cool idea! I found myself really enjoying this one. I just wish certain parts of the gameplay were a little faster, such as the speed of the toast and the falling objects. Besides those minor complaints this is a really solid entry!

Haha that was a lot of fun. I didn't save the kitty but I'll be back! Also what's the point of shooting the toast? lol

@Gizmolo Thanks for the comment! I came up with "Toaster Boy" first so I decided to add an enemy helicopter to give the toast a purpose.
