Dinner with a hot chick by alobker

[raw]
made by alobker for LD 43 (JAM)

ld43_screenshot1.png

You are on a mission to bring food to the king. First, you must reach the castle. Then try to reach the king.

There are 3 different characters to choose from: Sam Ooray, Big Orm Bold'r and the hot chick. Each have their own skills and weaknesses.

Go through the levels by sacrificing yourself to overcome obstacles. The different characters each contribute in a different way. Most obstacles can be overcome in multiple ways, so don't worry about getting stuck.

Instructions:

For the keyboard: - Use the arrows keys to move - Press [space] to jump - Press [x] to sacrifice yourself - Press [z] to clear the level

For the controller: - Use the left stick to move - Press (A) to jump - Press (X) to sacrifice yourself - Press (B) to clear the level

Notes:

Try to finish with as few sacrifices as possible!

Updates:

We've updated the WebGL version to be in line with the stand-alone version (the WebGL version was outdated because it was built much earlier). While we were at, we also took the opportunity to fix a few game breakers. We also added a Linux build.

I think there is something really fun here, but its just so confusing. I think maybe some easier puzzles at the star would help explain the character traits as the only one that seem obvious was the big guy. The rest was just ages of me testing ideas.

The idea was very well executed, It reminds me of Thomas was alone, with the whole idea of changing characters around. The art was spot on, top notch lowpoly. Props to the team :)

Took a little while to work it out, but then realised this is a nicely crafted game. The graphics and sound are absolutely top-notch, well done! I'm having a weird issue selecting the characters though? Seems like the selection doesn't always update when you press the cursor? Well worth developing into a commercial game, I think!

@arkiruthis You have to press the cursor REALLY HARD XD

@arkiruthis I see what you mean though, it looks like a regression. I've found that double-tapping works as a work-around. One can also use the mouse.

Wow, you did amazing work! Your graphics is marvellous (I love that style!), your music too and these characters... Of course hot chick is the most funny of them (and btw the most annoying - why it explodes without any reason?! xD). Your game is funny, is well designed and matches to theme of LD! Really, really great!

I've tried to fix the keyboard selection thing. It's a little better but still kinda funky. Mouse selection does work, but you have to hover over the names, not the pictures. The problem only seems to arise in the WebGL build though.

The physics are good and the Lightnig/Modeling looks awesome. Good Work! The Soundeffects are also really good!

This is a great concept. It reminds me of Trine in how you need every character to solve puzzles. The art is amazing. My only complaint is that I would like to see a faster way to switch characters.

Puzzle games where you make up your own solution always intrigue me and I like that each character each unique enough and not clones of each other with different stats. The controls took me a bit, on keyboard, to get going and I was having an hard time selecting the characters. Meaning, it get getting stuck on the previous character and would not detect the where the mouse was highlighting but that's a minor. :)

"hot chick" funny :D

@prodigalson Unfortunately this seems to be an issue with the WebGL build :(

Very good entry, which taught me one thing: Samurais, fat guys and hot chicks in huge numbers are solution for everything.

I liked it, keep up the good work!
