Butler with a gun by KneehatGames

[raw]
made by KneehatGames for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

A game about a butler slave that has to feed his master in order to survive.

You have to get the burgers in the cart and bring them to the master as soon as possible to calm him down and prevent the floor from collapsing even quicker. Use your dash to get around or across the deadly holes. Be careful not to overload the cart too much since it may become hard to drive. And be aware that you are not alone. The cooks that prepared those delicious burgers don't like stealers!

Fun little game :)
I liked the sound effects, the music and the simple direct controls.
It was clear what i had to do.
Good Job

It is very cool! It is fun to play, there is a good gamefeel. Although I do miss some UI to see the lives or the burgers delivered. I think that with more variety/levels/enemies you could create a very interesting game and publish it. Good job!

Heh, I really like this game. It was actually one of the first that I've played where I really enjoyed the gameplay. My biggest concern though, was how close the burgers spawned into the holes and how easy it was to fall into the holes. That was my main cause of death, and it was annoying when that happened.

Another thing I liked was the music. I don't know if the dissonance was intentional or not, but it led to a kinda intense "unstable" feeling. So nice job.

Very solid game, one of the better ones I have seen in the jam so far.

This was hilarious. My record is 39 burgers. Only thing I'd suggest is a cooldown on the gun so it can't just be spammed in all directions while collecting burgers.
Great work!

Funny idea for a game :D It's like an alternate future where instead of turning into batman he turns into fatman

Alfred's still a badass

Quick to pick up and easy to understand. I agree that falling in the holes was kind of annoying to deal with since the burgers spawn so close to them, but I can see having them around in less frequent spaces. The music was a little odd to me, but I started to get more into it as I went along. The sfx when you get hit are pretty dang loud. I would notch those down a bit.

Great game. Simple but works well and very connected to the theme. The holes are _very_ annoying tho but for good reason :)

Good game. I found the holes were too easy to fall into.
