Save The Hut<\/em> was my very first entry into the world of \u2018make a game in a low amount of hours\u2019 compos. It was all about The Hut, and how to Save it from the hut-hungry alien invaders. The player had to make sure The Hut survived for a certain amount of time. To achieve this, stuff could be built, but there was a limit set by the amount of credits available. It played as a mix of RTS and puzzle.<\/p>\n

Featuring 10 levels, 8 bit palette graphics awesomeness, developed for DOS using Allegro and DJGPP, it placed about 14th. Its shortcomings seemed to be that people had trouble figuring it out, had real trouble passing level 3 (The Holy Cactuses<\/em>, which was pretty hard), had trouble running DOS games, and also found \u2018hold out for X seconds\u2019 extremely annoying (because it sucks to fail at \u20182 seconds left\u2019 and have to replay the level).<\/p>\n

You can download a newer, slightly improved version (for Windows) of Save The Hut<\/em> as a .zip archive<\/a>, or as an installer<\/a>. Or, you could get the old compo version (for DOS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
