Fatal Hangover by TSK

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

Protect your whiskey from these pesky rednecks.

Our first LD entry!

Fatal Hangover - A Tower Defense Platformer about one cowboy who’s trying to protect his whiskey from all the pesky rednecks who are trying to steal it.

You can jump and shoot those guys by yourself, or you can buy some turrets at the cash register to help you keep them away. Our favorite turret so far is Dynamite Canon - It’s just randomly shoots dynamite all around - not really useful, but really effective. 💰💣💥

Controls:

A / D - Move W / Spacebar - Jump Left Mouse Button - Fire1 Right Mouse Button - Fire2

Alt. Controls:

Arrows - Move Up Arrow -Jump Ctrl - Fire1 Alt - Fire2

Looks like WebGL build is a bit laggy, if it's the case for you, try Win or Mac build.

This was our first Ludum Dare! Learned a lot during this ~60 hours of non-sleeping experience, but that was worth it. Hopefully you'll enjoy the game as much as we're enjoyed making it!

okay this turn out to be a really fun game, albeit weird control and instruction. like why would you make space jump with AD control instead of AWD like most people?

so alt lets you buy a turret/tower from the cash register and alt again to place it

i got 2 basic cheapo in the lower floor and then got machine gun. it's DPS and aim is really good. TNT acts really weird and falls on the ground a lot, and there's a weird climb mechanic on wall or ladder like it just glides your avatar but okay...

I think i kinda beat the game cause they stop spawning. machine gun is good

@Tikikala thank you for your feedback! Initially we had a little bit different mechanic for the player, but decided to change it a little bit. That's why there's this controls weirdness. If you download a desktop build, you could actually configure the controls there. I agree, there's definitely a room for improvement!
Climb mechanic is actually a bug, looks like the player is colliding with the wall and it tries to push him up because of that, when you flip the character. I'll try to fix it after I'll get some rest.
Cheers!

@TSK i forget to say that alt is a really strange control to use for buying and placing cause my browser thinks im trying to use a browser function like alt + whatever

@Tikikala try using your mouse - lmb - shoot, rmb - buy/build

Very enjoyable game! Was a bit easy but great for game jam. I also ran into a bug where I would float through objects but didn't crash my game or anything so it was okay. Keep up the great work.

Really fun game and a smart combination of genres. I played for quite a bit and closed the game after only getting on a constant loop where one enemy spawned on the left over and over. I went out there and got stuck on the left edge of the screen (started gliding out of screen, managed to get back in and started gliding again).

@WalterP @bar0net I'm going to fix this floating bug, hopefully, today. Thanks for the feedback!

yeah , that music is just perfect for this game .... when i loose and replay there is no enemy anymore !? strange bug may be. I love the art of the game and it fit very well in the theme.

@captain-capslock hey! Thanks for the feedback! On which platform this bug is happening? I'll take a look what's wrong there.

I too got the floating bug, but I still enjoyed the game. Really good, well done!

The game is fun but could be balanced some more. The 150$ machine gun is way to powerful, TNT is just...strange.
Also as it was said before it's confusing to use space to jump with WD to move, and I've got some bugs floating into objects.

Could be a very great thing once polished

Very cool entry, great ambiance & music, lovely pixel art & animation, especially the drinking anim :beers:, you could had small feedback like dust when characters jumps to make the platformer even more dynamic, keep up the good work :thumbsup:

I'm fucking loving it, one thing that would be nice would be if the waves started getting bigger(or if they do already start growing faster) because at the end they were spawning one at a time and immediately being killed by the tons of machine guns. But still, it's fucking awesome and I love the sound, aesthetics and most everything about it.

@nidup Thank you for your kind feedback! And also great idea on some dust feedback, definitely will add it!

@IronPotato Glad you liked it! We didn't have enough playtesting time to polish the balance of waves, definitely needs improvement there, but we'll work on it post jam for sure. Thank you!

Really fun, if unbalanced :P

@TSK Thanks for playing our game! We had the same concept indeed! I really like the art style. It might not be really polished but it surely does have character! I also love the fact that you cannot only place turrets but also can shoot the enemies yourself. The premise is really good, but after a while, you get too overpowered :).

The only real criticism I have is that the character feels too floaty, as if you are in space.

Very nice entry, especially for your 1st one! See you guys next jam!

it was fun and satisfying to play, but a little easy! I think maybe some sort of turret ammo you have to replenish could be a good idea and waves need to get more brutal :) But over all very good entry, nice graphics and good sound!

really liked this game, the audio was great and I didn't sick of the music! The graphics I really liked, well executed pixel art. The main thing really is a bit balancing to keep the game challenging as you get further and further in. would be interested to see how you guys would approach that. maybe some more platformer elements could have found their way into the game, things that conflict with the tower defence genre, in order to really hit incompatibility theme. Really enjoyed!

Nice game. This has a combination of genres that can be combined very well. The audio is great, the platforming could be a little better but nothing that prevent you to enjoy it. Very good job, congrats!
