Roblox - Top Down LD54 by LDJam user 131145

[raw]
made by LDJam user 131145 for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

I wish I had more time. I planned on making enemies that shot at you and for you to shoot at them as well. Also, I wanted the round to "shrink", but life was all up in my mojo and I barely had time to work on this. This is my very first submission and I'm glad that I was able to submit something at all :)

The source code is available on Roblox.com. You just have to right click the game and choose "edit" and it should load up into Studio.

This is my first attempt at making something for LD (I think I tried once before, lol)

Overall liked the game loop! I'll detail some feedback below.

Pros:
* Visuals were pretty; I especially found exploding on death to be a funny choice
* Gameplay loop felt pretty engaging; a lot of the situations that I got into involved some clever thinking to get around the obstacles.

Cons:
* I feel as though the game could've used a progression system of some kind; maybe every point you get without dying speeds your character up, and dying resets your score?
* I think removing the ability to move up / down and causing the player to move at a fixed speed would pose more of a challenge.
* Holding down W and A when respawning seems to pretty consistently separate me from the ship, allowing the player to walk around without it.

Overall nice simple game, but I would like some progression
- Start from very easy level with slow motion or small amount of parts
- Progress via increasing speed and amount of obstacles
- Maybe some bonuses to help completing level (shield, slow motion etc)

@croze I'm going to try and be a lot better prepared for the next time. I LOVE making games in Roblox, but I'm still learning (although, I've already forgotten more than I know, lol)

I like the fact that when the cubes are at their smallest scale, you can pass through them. I saved myself a couple times due to that. Great Game! (I can't rate it for some reason. The stars won't show)
