Untitled game about shooting falling rectangles.

Post by veethree »

So this is a game sort of inspired by eamonn's "Mr. BallGuy" but with a few extra mechanics.

The objective is to collect as many coins as you can in one minute. Coins are dropped by the falling boxes if you shoot them, or collide with them. Red boxes drop more coins when shot, And damage the player when he collides with them, And the green boxes drop more coins when collided with.

Small update:
Changes:
-Notification thing relocated and given colors
-HUD added (explained below)
-Shooting by holding lmb made possible and ammunition limited
-Pickups added (not cars. Little blocks you pick up and they refill your health or ammunition)
-"focus" added which allows you to slow down time for a limited time


Updated controls:
-A and D or Left and right arrow keys to move
-W or UP to jump
-LMB to shoot
-P to pause
-Shift to enable "Focus" mode

Hud guide:
-White bar: Time
-Red bar: Health
-Green bar: Ammo
-Blue bar: Focus

Game Controls:
Move left/right: A and D or the left and right arrow keys
Jump: Space or W
Shoot: LMB

Debug/Misc controls
Tab: toggle debug mode (hide random clutter of text in the top left corner)
ESC: Exit (only in debug mode)
O: Toggle shader
P: Toggle slow motion
N: Toggle player stuck to mouse (used to test stuff)

Known Issues:
-Game doesn't restart properly.
-Reflection disappearing before actual object.

The reason why i'm posting this so unfinished is like i said before, I want to make the gameplay as smooth as i can, So if you guys have any suggestions i'd love to hear them.

i love the glass effect (it feels like just beautiful glass, its unexplainable. just i really like the effects and im not being sarcastic)
maybe you could allow the holding down of LMB instead?

Good work on the shaders, and also the dropping of the boxes (i.e. the movement), it "feels" very nice.

I was gonna mention the fact that the reflections disappear before the objects as the only flaw I saw, but then I read it under "known issues" :P ... great game!

I modified the shaders slightly so the game will run under LÖVELINESS... :)

(FYI: I changed shaders.lua to use 0.0 and 3.0 -- NaCl shaders don't like mixing floats and ints, see Modifying your shaders to work with LÖVELINESS)

Cool game, btw. :D

That effect looks incredible. I'm gonna say it right now, that looks great. I also like the focus ability, which was also pretty cool.
So far it's turning out pretty nice.
