Barbuglio by boumusic



My (1st) game for the Ludum Dare 38.
The Barbuglio, a beast locked in a cell, has woken up and is kinda angry. Satisfy his needs before he gets out of his jail and eats whoever is out there (hint : you).
As soon as the Barbuglio asks for something, travel to the island to pick up the resource needed, may it be food, water, medics or some dope music (the Barbuglio is a great music lover).
Controls :
Left Click : travel to the pointed island, you'll pick up the item and go back to the center automatically. Enter : Fullscreen

The graphics are amazing and blends perfect with the fast gameplay.
The game gets hard really quick, but I think that that is the fun part about it.
I look forward to your next game.
If you have two tasks at the same time it's nearly impossible to complete them both. Here's some things that I think could improve the game:
- More visual feedback when returning a task
- A little more time in between tasks to catch your breath and wait in anticipation
- Maybe when you build on this you can have combo tasks (like a music pig, or some healing water)
See if you feel like adding them, might be fun :grin:
Either way, nice job for your first Ludum Dare game!
My top score was 41717!
EDIT: Music, of course, was great! Also, one way you could expand the game would be to make the time demands a less intense, but eventually add additional demons you have to feed.
Here is my best score :

The sound effects are great, but the music was taken from elsewhere, and many of the above reviewers think you wrote it... so I'm not going to vote on the audio.
The art is bright, not my favorite palette, but everything looks clear. The protagonist sprite looks a little scaled up compared to the surrounding art.
If the music is indeed made by someone else, you should've opted out of that category.
