About

After spending the first 20 hours brainstorming without any idea to the game what so ever! I were about to write a blogpost here on ldjam.com with the title "I'm out!".

Right when I were about to do that some buddies joined the discord server I was on and asked how I was doing. We quickly came the the conclusion that my situation wasn't that good. Within a few minutes they had come up with multiple great ideas. Now the only question was if I had enough time, with only 28 hours left I was in a real rush!

But I now proudly present "dang homeless people!"

Quick guide

In dang homeless people! you run around on the streets collecting your coins you dropped. However when the homeless sees you, a rich guy collecting mere pennies they get angry, and attack you!

The more money you collect the more homeless will get mad and attack you!

See how long you can survive without getting mugged and becoming homeless yourself!

Known bugs

  • Bug-code 1: When you take damage you will be able to run out of the borders, but when the immunity to damage stops, you will be teleported back into the scene.

  • Bug-code 2: Due to time limitation I didn't have time to make the borders scale with the screen size so they are made to 16:9 resolution. I have made 16:9 resultions the only playable resolution based on that.

  • Bug-code 3: On the Mac I tested on, the horizontal borders are just outside the screen size(1440p x 900p). This is outside of 16:9 res, so if the 16:9 requirement isn't fulfilled on Mac this a bug, please come as close to 16:9.

Neat game man. I also made an entry about homelessness. I dig your thinking. :)

Nice game and interesting concept. Collisions are a bit unsatisfying and it feels too frustrating to pick up coins.

**Pros:** Graphics are pleasant to look at. Gameplay idea is funny and matches the theme.

**Cons:** Coin pickup is frustrating - colliders aren't very good. Homeless people are a little too fast, so the game gets difficult quickly.

Overall a nice little compo game.
