LÖVE-Jam 1 [VOTING]

wtf, anyone else not able to start my game? ... This is kind of sad.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, somehow it really drains my system. I don't support Canvas or PixelEffect, so maybe you have a workaround system for that, that uses images instead?

I do use a pixel filter in order to make the images more sharp. You could try to comment it out,

Line 100 in Main.lua.

Nope, that's not it. Although I do think you don't need to call that every frame, just once during initialization should be fine.

The problem is in map.lua. If I comment out all the functions in there, it works fine. I guess it's because you're drawing 25 images sized 2000x2000 every frame. I don't know if you're scaling this down, but if not, this is not necessary, with the window just 1280x720 in size, you won't see more than 4 images at once. You could optimize that to only draw the images that are actually visible.

Yeah, I ran out of time, but now you can at least test my game as the backgrounds are not "essential".

Here's my input on the games.

Lovely Space Program
I liked this a lot. It was fun to be able to build ur on stuff and I killed a lot of time trying to go up to 10.000 and then down and try to land. Nice use of box2d and only a few minor bugs. In my opionion the best entry.

Thank you for your kind words! I might expand the game later on. As for my input thing, I will do that in a day or two.

Indeed, I've been able to play it now.

I like it, it's a good idea, however I'm not too sure about the controls. That's mainly me though, I've never liked WASD + mouse, but it's also that they don't change with the ship's direction. I would think W would always move towards the space ship's front. Once I found that out, I could just hold S and collect enemies above me, and just shoot them as I moved. But still, for the limited development time, it's very playable.
