Hydrate And Annihilate by Raivk

made by Raivk for LD 44 (JAM)

RISE OF....

THE VENDING MACHINE !

You are a vending machine. You give drinks to fighters in a robot combat arena. Those fighter robots are mocking you for your lack of combat skills. IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK ! You have been... hacked. And now, you want to fight. You CAN fight. Show them how powerful you are ! Throw coins and drinks on those robots to show who's the boss. OBLITERATE THEM !

Use the ZQSD / WASD on your keyboard to move, Space to jump, T to taunt, Left Click to throw coins (costs you money) and Right Click to throw a can or bottle (depends of your vending machine firmware configuration).

Your life is your money. You can throw coins, but you'll then loose some life. You can upgrade your machine, but you'll then loose some life too. So choose wisely !

BE STRONG. BE FAST. THRIVE. SUCCEED.

HYDRATE THOSE ROBOTS !

@viralsun thanks for the kind comment ! Did you use a bottle or a can ? Cans are like missile with no bullet drop ;)

@caorjavier thanks !

This game is AWESOME !!! Best game of the jam for me so far ! That's hard to believe that you made this in three days. The gameplay is fun, the atmosphere of the arena is really nice with the music and the neon lights.
Impressive work !

The sfx, music and graphics are really nice, but what ruins it for me is that its kinda hard to aim and hit something. Not sure if this is a bug though but I ran out of coins but I could still continue shooting, I just went into negative no. of coins. Still, overall its really enjoyable, just a little too hard for my taste.

Hey @anstabo thanks for the comment :) yeah there seems to be a problem with the arena border collider ^^' sorry you got stuck in it :/

Hey @random-thoughts thanks for the constructive comment, it helps us a lot. Seems like you found a new bug with the negative number of coins, the event detecting 0 or negative life points when throwing coins doesn't seem to be triggered as wanted. Sorry you got this bug ! Other than that, yeah the aim with the first few weapons is kinda hard. Some bottles or cans are much easier to use, like the smart ones or the thin bottles (juice / ice tea) :)

Nice game - i love the concept. The graphics and the sounds fits. the only thing is the "T" button is a little bit far, for me. "E" would be a better place. but far from all this points, GOOD JOB! :hearts:

Very impressive visuals and effects! The game feel is a bit too stiff it feels like, and there are some bugs (which I'm sure you are aware of). Overall though, great entry!

very good graphics and sound, genral idea also pretty good, but floaty and incedibly sensetive controlls make game really hard to play. If you fix controlls it can become much more playable experience

I never imagined that being a vending machine could be so much fun :smile:. Great game!

Amazing game, I stopped at round 36 after buying every upgrade and trying all of the weapons (the water tank was my favorite). I personally think that the coins should be stronger though, even with them maxed out, I still needed to use two to kill an enemy whereas most high level drinks could take out at least one enemy in a single hit.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments :)

@stevenjmiller yep we had a hard time balancing everything, and we didn't have enough time to finish balancing the coin thrower ^^'. We're glad you liked the water tank, we spent a lot of time refining it. (But I prefer the 24-pack of beer, the power of destruction of this thing is awesome haha)
