Unstaballz! by Biped Potato

[raw]
made by Biped Potato for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

UNSTABALLZ! play as an basketball who is sprouting boosters unstabally! Manage the boosters well and you may survive. Fail and you fall into the fire!

Stuff: this game was made with my UNSTABLE c++ and opengl game engine lol! i guess that qualifies it even before i made the game! The game should be cross platform (only tested on windows) so im uploading the same zip for each category. If you would just drop some advice feedback or just anything into the comments that would be highly appreciated.

Download instructions: unzip the zip and run the exe.

Note: the source code only includes the GAME source code not my engine source im not yet ready to reveal the source code of my engine so you'll have to make do without it.Untitled.png

I'll just get this over with and tell you that this art is great! It's minimalistic but still it has a lot of charm. Great job on that! The gameplay reminds me of something that I would play for hours in my mobile device(which is good). The theme was integrated pretty well too in the game.

Great job overall for submitting <3

Wasn't able to run it because it's a debug build (IIRC you need to have Visual Studio installed to run those). Suggest making a release build.

Could've compiled it myself, but the engine code is missing. :/

Not to play rules police, but if you don't want to share your engine, consider submitting to jam instead of compo.

Hey, I got an error when I ran the game. Will check in again later to see if I can get it working.

@holyblackcat @blacksheepza im sorry for the inconvenience i did build in release mode but apparently i was missing two debug dlls? Probably vs screwing stuff up. I am not sure why but i tested the new build on a laptop without vs and it worked now. Again really sorry for the inconvenience but you should be able to play the game now!

The new build works, thanks! Ended up with a score of 16. Respect for using your own engine, even if things don't go smoothly. :P

The debug dlls you were missing are required by `freetype.dll`. So maybe you built freetype in debug mode?

Also I'm getting minor graphical glitches on top of the player:

@holyblackcat sorry to hear that! I think it might be a resolution issue as for freetype ill be sure to investigate!

I managed to run the new build as well. Game seems a bit glitchy, but overall fun.
