Mini Ludumdare entry!

Here it is, my first Ludumdare entry. I went with a side scrolling platformer type game built in Flash with Actionscript 2.0.

I’ve uploaded it to my blog, here: http://hellfangvidya.blogspot.com/2010/07/greed-my-mini-ludumdare-20-entry.html

You play as the personification of greed and must try to move through the levels without being pushed off screen. You can eat items scattered around to increase your score but they will also make you heavier, thus making it more difficult to progress through the level. Being too greedy may result in you not being able to jump over an obstactle.

All edible items are unique, there are about 16 different items with different weights and properties. Sometimes the player character will request a certain kind of item at the end of a level and bonus points can be obtained by eating an item that matches it’s description.

Might be a few bugs still, I haven’t tested it much (it’s pretty hard :\) but it’s releasable at least.

The final (5th) level has a fishing theme.

Wow hellfang your game is GREAT! I absolutely love the “eating” animation. I’m also impressed that you got it to collide with curved surfaces like near the end of level one.

i like the drool off of Greed’s mouth. The eating animation was great, and I thought the game played smoothly. I like how if you eat too much, you can’t jump as high, which means you have to go through the lower portions of the level, which tend to be harder.
