LudumData

WIP55 by Pending Chaos

[raw]
made by Pending Chaos for LD34 (COMPO)
An infinite runner with powerups/effects, coins and bad stuff. It is for the two-button-controls theme. Running the source requires Pygame (http://pygame.org/news.html) and Python 2. The controls will be explained in the main menu.
Stand-alone binaries are included.

The music was generated with Autotracker (https://github.com/wibblymat/ld24/blob/master/autotracker.py).
The sound effects were generated with Sfxr (http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html).
The Orbitron font was created by The League of Moveable Type (https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/).

A decent attempt at an infinite runner. Physics were predictable, graphics were a little more interesting than just plain squares (although including more interesting backgrounds, characters and pickups may be good), audio was alright although the music could do with some improvement.

As the submission form suggest, you'll have an hard time getting rated if you don't have an executable without dependencies... You really can't make a windows executable?

I got 91 :). The controls were a bit infuriating at first but I got used to them and found it quite addictive. Nice one.

I tried on Linux and it did not work because it was Linux. I tried on Windows and could not get Python to work.

Neat little game! I like the procedural levels (they are, right?) but I did get stuck between 2 platforms at one point. I think the biggest next step it needs is jump height that's sensitive to the duration of keypress, a la Mario 1.

Also, for the sake of making an executable package, I recommend you look into py2exe - it really works quite well, though you may have to google a setup script to run it with pygame.

I've created some binaries for 64-bit Linux and Windows.
