Feet Survivors by RilleP

[raw]
made by RilleP for Ludum Dare 56 (COMPO)

A game about stomping bugs with your feet.

Controls:

Click and drag the feet with left mouse button to take steps. Feet movement is constrained by the invisible hip and legs.

The Game

Every step damages the floor. When a floor tile is fully destroyed that tile becomes unwalkable, and you lose the game if you are standing on a tile when it breaks.

You gain score by stomping on the bugs. The stomping foot will also grow in size for every kill.

The bugs will attack your feet, killing them one bite at a time.

If one feet explodes, by reaching 0 hp, you lose.

Power Ups:

  • Wrench: Activates Repair Mode for 10 seconds. During Repair Mode tiles can be repaired by stepping on them.
  • Plus: Add 50 hp to the foot that takes it.
  • Coin: Activates Bigger Stomp for 10 seconds. Makes stomp area bigger.

Patch notes

  • Fixed bug where bugs stopped spawning after a while.

This is a pretty cool concept. A bit barebones, but I like it :)

sus game :flushed: Jokes aside though i think the idea has potential. I kinda have a love/hate relationship with the controls, since they're quirky. I think it'd been better if you used only one foot, since managing both is rly difficult

Unique idea! Liked the movement and gameplay, felt tho that the floors broke a bit to fast, so it was struggling to move while also killing the spiders. The game reminded me of an old game called, Smash your PC for some reason. Something about moving the body part, and destroying the floor :)

Now this is a game. Super unique concept, and the execution is fun! I love how gross the feet are.
The music was also really great! I agree with the comment above that the floor broke kinda fast.
Great work!

That was a really unique (and hilarious) way to control the character. The wrench was OP (not in a bad way), I got to stomp hoards of bugs as fast as I could click. And then it ran out and I stomped through the floor :)

Fun jam game, reminds me of Bennet Foddy games, you can control your feet in fun way, and two challenges at the same time iss fun.

Cool game.
Not sure i am a fan of clicking and dragging the feet to move. In my opinion it would be better to choose teh feet with some hotkey and then you can drag anywhere on the screen to move chosen feet

One of the most original games i've seen so far this edition, the movement can be of course polished and made it so it feels more smooth, other than that really original and intresting!

I really liked this game. I CANNOT explain to you the level of terror and unease I felt when I saw how the tiny spiders start eating at my feet when I get close to them. I love it!
I also liked how the tiles can get destroyed so you are encouraged to keep moving forward. The repair power up also turns everything on its head by making you go back to repair tiles. Good job for making this dope game! :)

Really cool concept and the controls are interesting. I'm not sure I have anything like this yet, nice work.

A very interesting implementation of the theme. The movement mechanics are pretty cool and the fact that we have to kill spiders is fun) In fact, I'm afraid of spiders and for me it's a kind of horror))

My best score was 409, I got super lucky with repair mode, I got it twice near large swarms of insects so I could stomp them without any care in the world and really rake in the points. But then my own hubris overcame me and I kept stomping until I went down with the tile, it was a shakespearean end.
Super fun game, you get really hooked in the loop of trying just one more time to improve your score. The power ups are great as well, I always look forward to finding a wrench or a bigger stomp powerup to really show the bugs who is boss. The stomps themselves feel great as well, I think it's the stomp sound effect, it really adds a lot of weight to it. Plus the feet models look great, them changing color with health is a nice touch as well, I loved that detail. Great job with this game!
