Save the Banana ! by adreqi

[raw]
made by adreqi for LD 38 (COMPO)

Here's for my 10-ish hours entry. That's what you get with fiddling with no idea for the entier first day :')

Anyway in this "game" you play some unidentified lifeform protecting a banana from external harm.

Play here (webgl)

No sound nor music, sadly, I would have picked Jam but I wouldn't have been able to work on it tomorrow anyway, sorry for that ^^

I like how the banana turns black when it receives too much damages. However controls aren't easy for a mac laptop.
I didn't save the banana :( . Is this even possible ? I like the idea though.

Interesting idea, having to save a banana...

The controls are nice with a mouse. I managed to get 194 score. Is that good?
It also appears the game could go on forever unless the banana gets bruised too much, maybe having a certain score/time limit to aim for to win.

Very basic and simple visuals.

Good job for only 10 hours of development time.

This game is simple but fun. Part of the appeal is a simple mechanic applied to challenging gameplay (Shapes fall faster and faster).

Well, I did my best. Not bad for 10 hours of development.

I found that the shield animation and the rate of incoming projectiles don't quite synch up and no matter how hard to try to time it, it simply becomes impossible to protect the banana from the damage that is caused by the bullets.

I'd recommend some sort of improved shield mechanics, maybe allow to bring the shield up again before the animation ends so as to not receive unnecesary damage.

Great effort!
