Blood & Sawdust by mcprog

[raw]
made by mcprog for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

UPDATE: 4/20/2020 5:41pm Blood & Sawdust is a game where you must collect blood and sawdust to keep your monster companion alive and fed. If you forget to feed it, it will get angry and attack you. Blood can be collected from killing aliens that come out of the sky. Sawdust can be found as a drop from sawing crates. Your weapon is a saw that can both kill aliens and break crates. However, you cannot kill your companion and must sate and slake its desires lest it turn on you.

Controls: A,D,Space,LMB,E

This is my first game jam and I hope you enjoy what I have managed to create.

Hey man , the game is nice , but some of the collision feel weird and at first I didn't know what to do in the game. Maybe try and copy/paste your game description into you game. And also some of the animation feel a bit blend. Innovation was nice and I really liked the concept. Good Job :)

Interesting game idea, it could be fun. I like the game, but it is definitely to short.

The game was without doubt challenging when you were approached by many enemies at the same time. It was a bit unclear what the companion did and why it started attacking you. Also, the game was rather short since the key was not super well hidden, but what can you really expect from only two days of development? Good job anyways!

Hi! The game is officially released since the Jam ended. If you played the game before 4/20/2020 6:00pm, then you were playing a beta version. I have since released an update! Hopefully this update is has addressed the wonderfull feedback I have received above :)

Nice entry, the saw sound suprised me a little and some collision and jump reseting are weird but it's pretty cool for a first game, keep it up !

The sounds could use some polishing, and your companion is a bit weird. Other than that fun game!

Really liked the idea. This game is very creative, literally everything in the game is something unexpected, which is great! Art is simple and good. I liked it!

The motion feels a bit floaty, and hit detection seems unclear at times. Otherwise a challenging game!

That is a pretty interesting game. One thing I would change is allowing the player to defend against the green enemies.

Overall nice work. I agree with some others about the floaty motion/control feeling which might be leading to the "feels quite challenging" but it also is just kind of difficult in its own. Keep it up and you'll continue to make great strides!

Hello!
I advise you to create a web version of your game, because I think many people like me skip your game because we don't want an exe on our computer.
So bad, because i'm sure your game is really interesting
