EDIT: It looks like I originally uploaded the 64bit version of the windows build. I have now added both 64 and 32 bit builds (these are still the original submission version).

LD#33 Jam Entry by HiImMikeGaming(mzmiric5) and LRFLEW.

Mario games inspired Day in a life of a NPC (DIAL-NPC), is a 72hour first LD project we made. And boy did we have fun making, playing and streaming the development process.

The game lets you chose the NPC you wish to play with and the goal is to live a day of a NPC, being trapped in your section of the level, preventing the hero players from progressing further in the level. By avoiding being squashed, getting into the heroes way from the side to kill them (and earn points) and surviving for as long as possible, you become the NPC.

NPCs can jump if they pick up special items that allow them a limited number of jumps per item.

If a hero manages to get to the end of the level section you lose a point.

So get to it, kill the hero player, stay alive for as long as possible and have fun being the monster!

Engine: Unity 5 personal
Language: C#
Graphics: Drawn from scratch in Photoshop, inspired by a number of art styles.
SFX: Generated with Bfxr
Soundtrack: Generated with autotracker.py

Controls:
Left and right arrows or left gamepad stick to move the character left and right.
Space or Y (on xbox gamepad) or triangle (on playstation gamepad) to jump (only when the special item is picked up).

Notes:
The twitch integration keeps on breaking, the menu system is broken when trying to go from game to main menu (so if you want to change your character, it's probably best to quit and start the game again) and the help menu does not work, hero characters sometimes get stuck on the start or end of the level. The fixed version will be uploaded on itch.io later (probably tomorrow), so I'll add the links to that asap.

UPDATE:
One week after the LD33, and we finally found time to get the bugfix version ready for you all (we even added a Linux build). So if you haven't played the game, this version will give you a better experience, and if you had problems playing the original submission, this should hopefully fix them.
You can find all the bugfixed builds at the link below.
Bug fixes:
- player can't fall of the map any more
- enemies don't get stuck on the map limiters
- special sprite now has the right orientation
- twitch integration now pulls the data correctly instead of crashing the game
- menu system is now not completely broken
- the help and game over screens actually show up instead of crashing the game
or being completely unreadable
- player collider is now dynamically resized to avoid wrong collisions on
character change
