LudumData

Crazy Alien by approxx

[raw]
made by approxx for LD33 (COMPO)
Ok! So I am happy to say, I submitted my 1st game ever for Ludum Dare.

Move with WSAD, shoot with Space.

The game actually remembers what level you ended at between runs :)
Sadly I did just two levels... Too tired now to produce more.
The game has music and sounds.

Have fun!

Software used:
- LIBGDX
- Tiled
- Aseprite
- Pixitracker
- SFXR
- Audacity

I learnt to use Tiled for levels, bit cumbersome but will help with next projects.

It crashed when a human killed me on the second level, but I was pleased to see that it started me on that level and that I didn't have to repeat the first.

The controls were smooth, and the music was great for atmosphere. I love the little touches with the animations. Good work for your first LD game!

It was short indeed (like my game too), but also fun to play. I espacially liked the graphics and the sound. Good job for your first ld entry!

Hey thanks for the warm words. I am aware of the crash, however I guess can't fix it now :) Luckily it happens only when you die (sometimes)

Works on Linux.
I like the graphics and the controls. It fits the theme.
The game however crashes when you die and when you get hit by multiple things at once it seems. (Error: NullPointer at GameWorld.shoot(GameWorld.java:728))
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 x64
JRE: 1.7

I like the graphics and the audio is great. Controls nicely. Very short but I understand the time limitation. The death animations are good too ^^

Really great job and congrats on making your first entry to the compo, really liked the gameplay, mechanics, music and sound, shame you didn't get time to make more levels as it was pretty fun!

Very nice graphics and audio, the human death animation was nice, and the physics were very well composed. Well done :)

A control scheme that feels "floaty" but is not frustrating? IMPOSSIBRU!!
Seriously though, good work. Looks good, feels good, sounds good - that's a hell of a first try.

I wish i could make few more levels, that would prolong the game play but... I guess there will be better use of my time for next games or this one remaked&polished.

I love the way the human's dissolve when you kill them. The game is obviously short, but the potential is really great. Nice idea and great execution, I'd definitely play a longer version!

Well done! The art style and music worked really well together, created a very nice mood. Would've loved to see more levels, but what is there is good!
