Invasion of The Bugs by Scout

[raw]
made by Scout for LD 40 (JAM)

Our team are all first time ludum dare competitors but we excidedly jumped in. we had one programer and two people who didnt know much of what we are doing so they did animation and graphics this ment we had no sound whatsoever. our game is based off the idea that the more score you have the harder the game is however due to my complete lack of experence with pathfinding that is where our project probably vould have the biggest improvement.

You start the game with a quick view of the map then are put right into it you have a minute of day to mine some rocks for score (you can take out your pickaxe by pressing 9) the two rocks in the center both have weapons in them simply break the rock and walk on the weapon to pick it up, there are two other weapons on the map other than the rifle and the pistol there is the sniper and the piss gun each doing different dammages. Once you have some weapons and some score when night comes the bugs start coming and they come in numbers based off your score(once your score gets huge they seem to never stop coming even in day). the goal is to simply get as much score as you can The bugs will kill you in 5 hits so watch out.

-mine the rocks

-gather weapons(3 real, one a joke gun)

-kill the bugs(best way of getting score)

-get the highest score you can

-super "buggy bugs" at high numbers they seem to go to where you were but in a swarm this looks intentional

Is it weird that I have not encountered any bugs after playing for so long? Anyway I think you could make a mining game out of this. Could be good potential.

thank you for telling me right before i uploaded it for some reason unity removed all public variables that i had changed in the editor and i forgot to put back in the enemy prefab, i have fixed this as it was one drag and drop that fixed it

The game is well done, the bugs gave me a heart attack when I first met them hahahaha

otherwise it plays smoothly. I just wished the time between day and night was a bit shorter but no worries.

Good job on the game! :)

I like your cute main character and the bugs! They're kinda creepy. Kudos for the piss gun as well

This game is OK, the lava lamps seem to not relate to anything though. I like the fact that the rocks can block you and this can be frustrating at night when fighting the bugs. There can be a lot of improvements: add the sound effects, make more guns, have new game mechanics. This does not, however, really fit the theme well, as it is a bit random to have more bugs after killing a number of bugs.

The lava lamps were originally light sources for night but the lighting is super buggy in 2d so I removed it and the link to the theme is that the more score you get the harder it gets
