Cant i just stretch my neck peacefully ? by grynca

made by grynca for LD33 (COMPO)

Controls:
shoot laser - Left mouse
close lids - right mouse (protects from most damage)

Objective: last for 2.5 mins.
Hint: It is a good idea to dodge and also spare your laser (it recharges slowly)

Tech:
custom source 2D framework based on SDL2 - https://github.com/grynca/geng ( heavy WIP )
compiled via emscripten to browser. Emscripten version must be run via some localhost server (needs to access local files).

This was my first LD. Had most problems with my own framework + learning Emscripten. Hopefully next time will be better. But overall great event !

I will put (hopefully) online version up soon.
UPDATE:
- Online version here: http://grynca.cz/
- Added missing libraries to Desktop version
- winning Gameplay video here: https://youtu.be/UT_FN_H5xDw

Good variant with the shield mechanic. Can easily see how one can expand this with powerups and other obstacles.

Intresting game but when the laser bar is empty i can shoot this normal ? But that is fine for first competition. Nice Work !!

Lovely set of mechanics. I think the game would be more fun to play if your laser recharged faster. Was great you could retract yourself to dodge missiles.

I like how the monster is articulated! And the game is quite hard! (At least i tried a few times and i always died, too many helicopters)

Good job overall :)

Ooh an emscripten game! Cool! I've been itching to try out emscripten myself. Seeing how you managed to create a game with your framework during the compo is really cool and inspiring, nice work!
Fun game idea as well, although it could do with some further polishing. I like the funny title. :P

like the creature and the hand drawn art. Progress bar is good but would be even better if you know how much of how much progress you made.
Is there a way to survive at the end?

stupidmindlessf: of course, check the gameplay youtube video

made me feel tense. you know you are going to die sometime just depends on how long you can avoid those hunting you.

Fun game, was way too easy for a bit and then suddenly all the choppers swarmed! THEY SWARMED! :'(

Well, the mood isn't topnotch, but the gameplay really is fun and the movement of the monster is reaaally funny. Keep up the good work!
