Grunnist by Alpenter

[raw]
made by Alpenter for LD34 (JAM)
"Grunnist" is a randomly generated endless runner! (With a gun included!) Everything is random! Map sections, enemy color, weather, and even the floor tiles!
Kill goopy slimes and run a further distance to get a higher score. Collect a power-up to help in your genocidal quest.

There is probably some other feature I can't think of... Idunno I'm tired ok?

A little disclaimer: A made most of this game while on an airplane. I'm lucky to have gotten this game out! Hurray for perseverance! This is also my THIRD LD game in a row and I didn't want to break the streak.
I also went with the "Two Buttons" theme as opposed to the other one

Really cool game! Found some graphics glitches like when the looping background sometimes disappears but otherwise, fun and nice looking game, good job!

You managed to get a lot in for a 'flight' game. The different backgrounds where cool. The overall feeling was pretty good. I found some parts very hard to beat, like the 3 shoot fat guy.

Was fun to play, I enjoyed the retro-styled graphics and sound FXs!

Very simple yet very fun. The shooting combined with the infinite runner was a good touch as it surprisingly makes the game far more challenging. Graphics and audio are very suitable for the game. The rain is very noisy though in my honest opinion. Apart from that, great work!

Linux d/l only contains one file. You run that file and it says:

Set current directory to ./Downloads
Found path: ./Downloads/Grunnist.x86
There is no data folder

It's pretty fun. I like well-thought tile presets. It makes level less random, but more interesting. Particle effects and sound is OK to. It's really hard to pay attention to obstacles and enemies at the same time, but I walked pretty far by holding Right key and pressing Up time to time.

Good job, especially given the time you had to work in. Some BG music would have helped it a lot, but the graphics and controls were good.

Had fun getting as far as I could! I like the fluorescent, washed out pixel art. Interesting look. Also, even though the variety is neat, I wished it always rained in the game- -- the rain ambiance really does a lot for the game, sound-wise. Or maybe have music in the sunny sections. Good job on this.

Loved the design in the main character, and the rest of the graphics are cute too, haha. Nice game, well done!

Good game nice sfx, but i think if you make a background music it will be more enjoyable

498 points.. not great, but it was that 2 spike followed by a big blob! i couldnt shoot enough to get him :( I think this is very stylish with the pixels and vectory effects that look like pixels, ideal use of the theme, and rain and sound fx too, the enemies were cool. nice work

@Alpenter: I ran the game through GDB and got a bit more info...
I can get to the Unity config screen, choose Windowed and press OK.
Once the Unity window is shown it crashes with the SIGPWR signal followed by a SIGXCPU signal.
A quick Google search tells me this signal is sent to processes using too much CPU time, like too recursive functions.
Hope this helps.

I really like the semi random nature of your endless runner/platformer/shooter (and I havent said that to anyone yet)

The random weather set the mood real nice. You made some very smart choices with the aesthetic that allowed you to focus on the gameplay-- and i think that shows.

one question: does this go on forever? I dunno if it did or if I'm just very bad at it.

@Weeping Rupee - Yep! It goes on forever!

@MemoryLeek - Really sorry, I can't seem to recreate the issue on my friends Linux! Sorry! D:

I really liked it. Had a lot of small things which made it interesting to play and look at.
