RUST vs THE HIVE by Sol Roo

[raw]
made by Sol Roo for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

"In the foggy greeness of the far future, there is only one hive mind. You, and old generation robot from before the singularity, try to keep your old ways, through violence... Being alone is what you were designed to like. Try to stay away from the tempting features of the future, and eliminate the hive-lord."

You start with only body Controls: Arrows/WASD for movement, mouse for aiming. Left/Right click for active weapons. Space to pick weapons.

Cool graphics. Great job in creating spooky atmosphere with music and visual! Little laggy for me after some time (web).

I won! Damn humans.
The fog was a bit much. Removes any strategic moves. Not sure how I like the steering. It felt odd.
But great job otherwise. A finished project with nice explosions and different weapons. Quite well done.

Had a hard time with the mouse view controls, and the very aggressive tanks that just swarmed relentlessly were a little rough, but the graphics and visual / audio ambiance were great. Nice work!

Well done! This game looks great, and has a lot of features! I love the little screen-effects when you're being shot. The controls are a bit clumsy, it would've been nicer if the crosshair just stayed at the center of the screen (like a FPS).

Overall very impressive!

Nice atmosphere and graphics. The controls are a bit hard to use, so the aiming is difficult as a result. Otherwise nice game. I found the *literally* blue screen of death amusing. :)

Great atmosphere, visuals and sound. Like others, I found the controls a little clumsy. I also got lost at one point, took a while to figure out where I was supposed to go, so maybe a little direction would be helpful (even as simple as an arrow pointing in the general direction). Game was fun though, nice work!

A truly beautiful game, I loved the camera distortions that happened as you took damage. Until I picked up the radar I had a lot of trouble with enemies sneaking up behind me and shooting me without me realizing it. I had some performance issues, but I figure that is par for the course for playing such a game in the browser.

Oh, something that seemed like a bug that I happened across: I found that it was possible with the miniguns to sit at the start of the boss area and shoot the boss with out the boss doing anything in response. I was able to kill the boss without ever actually engaging it using that strategy.

@$162477 we just pushed a patch about that performance issue, we were hunting that problem for a while, it should be a stable framerate now (you can toggle framerate display with the 'p' key).

The boss is not particularly smart, we struggled to balance it, because it was too OP, so we kept it dumb for the jam submission.

Neat tank game, I like the variety of pickups. Primary weapons seemed very unbalanced, after trying a few I stopped using anything except the gatling gun.

Cool game with very post-apocalyptic mood. Graphics and sounds worked together, but the pickups and balancing could have benefited from a few more hours of balancing (which there are never enough of).

Cool start and nice vibe, but controls and camera are very clunky.

cool concept really enjoyed playing your game but sometime i was strungling just to move and drones were able to shot through the wall.

Really nice graphics and sound design. Love the blocky artefacts. As other said, this game could be pretty cool with some level design and balancing. Nice one!

The shooting felt good, but the AI was a little too hard. After death the enemies were still locked on me and came to attack me and my babies! Great game, and I'd be interested in seeing this continued. =)

Awesome graphics!

I didn't understand the connection with the theme aside from you start with no weapons, instead the first weapon is waiting for you to pickup right at the start of the map.

I loved the design of the enemies! Fighting with them feels very satisfying! Also blue screen of death was a really nice joke.

I wished the player movement actually felt like steering a tank.To achieve that I would remove strafing from the player and balance the enemies according to that.

I really liked the UI! and that there are multiple weapons in the game.

The friendly tanks at the start of the game was helpful but I didn't get why they are there.

Overall really cool submission! Thank you for making this game! It was really fun to play!

Great mood.

Not too bad. Felt a little weird and without purpose, and couldn't figure out how to shoot with the right mouse button, but the graphics were nice and the gameplay was smooth. Good effort!
