[raw]
made by Wolfy7 for LD 43 (JAM)

Colobopsis Explodens

is a small clone of „Lemmings“. Due to overpopulation, some ants have to leave the ant hill and get a new one. But the road to the new anthill is dangerous there would be: - Obstacles blocking the way - natural enemies - abysses - and so on

To sustain the existence of your own species, enough ants must survive. In order to protect and defend against the impending dangers, some ants can sacrifice themselves.

They can: - sacrifice himself to block the way with her body - blow up himself to destroy blocking obstacles - blow up himself and secrete a toxic secretion to defeat enemies

Gameplay

  • the ants run by themselves if they touch an obstacle the turn around
  • Select a ant by clicking and then select one oft he commands:
    • Kill -> sacrifice himself
    • Exploded -> blow up himself
    • Toxic -> blow up himself and secrete a toxic secretion

a given command can not be undone and the ant can not be selected afterwards - You have limited time

Tools used:

  • Music - bfxr
  • ​Art – Aseprite, Piskel
  • ​Engine - Godot 3.1 alpha
  • ​Version control – Git/Github
  • ​Editor – Visual Studio Code

That was the first time I participated in the Ludum Dare. So unfortunately i only get this prototype finish but still I am satisfied that i made it and i learnd a lot by doing it.

Also please excuse my bad pixel art skills and my poor english ;)

PS:

I dont know if the Versions for Linus and Mac OS will be work, i cant test them. And in the HTML5 Version the "Exit-Button"s dosent work.

Good game but kinda difficult to have a good timing. Could be polished into a fun game!

Timing is really complicated. But in general, really good.

Hmmm.... I'm gonna have to agree with @tosunami on this one. It would be nice if you could administer a pause command to be able to control your ants. I also don't like that the commands have a delay before triggering. It makes it unnecessarily hard to perform commands. There is definitely potential, but this needs to be fixed before it is truly playable. The atmosphere also seems a bit empty, with no music and the occassional sound effect. Some more sounds and music could have further improved the quality of the game! The graphics are actually quite nice, and I like the cartoony art style.

Thank you all for the feedback. You are all right there are many things to improve and i have a lot of ideas that i want to implement, but i had not enough time during the jam however i will work on it to release a stable version of the game.

I also noticed that there is currently still a bug in the game, the "Frog" cant be killed :( i will fix this later these day when im home from work.
