Having never entered LD before, it just so happened that MiniLD 50 coincided with my desire to build a top-down 2D dual-stick Quake-3-Arena-style capture the flag game out of a prototype I’d been working on for a couple days but had no purpose for; a perfect candidate for ‘demakes’!<\/p>\n

Sprites drawn on iPad (in Sprite Something), game built in Unity, and sounds by cfxr, it’s the first near-game I’ve ever made that I’ve found fun to play too. I’d like to run with this as part of a bigger game later on, but for now it’s a standalone thing. You spawn with a randomly-selected weapon (pistol, machine gun, RPG or railgun) and have to face off against the blue team AI bots in a capture-the-flag match. It kinda sorta loosely\u00a0fits the theme \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

A typical match takes me 10-15 mins and gameplay is optimized for a gamepad (but works with the mouse too).<\/p>\n

Complete with id-tech-style console, too. No I won’t tell you what the cheats are.<\/p>\n
