SPRINGBOT 3011

[raw] LD19MiniLD 24. Jan 2011 · 12:25 UTC · 38 days after compo start by Geti · 0

Well, it’s very late for the Mini-LD but I only started on it yesterday and now it’s a game, so there’s something.
Screenshot for v0.LD

I used Arne’s 16 Colour palette and a 4×4 tile grid, and went from there.

I’ll build a page for it tomorrow, and likely polish it quite a bit more, but you can play it here: http://www.1bardesign.com/experiments/springbots.swf

For the time I’ve put in I’m very happy with it.

Instructions:

  • Go right
  • Collect Stuff
  • Don’t run out of bounce
  • R to reset

Have fun, comments appreciated.

I like it! The bounce as a managed resource mechanic is interesting and a lot of fun. After you’ve polished it and had time to make the levels a little more designed, I could definitely see this as a Flash portal game.

At first I got nowhere, but then suddenly I figured it out and lasted quite far in the level. fun!

Really lookin’ great Geti, money as a scoring system is awesome and the landmines make it feel a lot more like those earlier pics, or was that a different game? And yes, you WILL find me everywhere.
