LÖVE

Yes, that's really what it's called! Angry Boids! It's a fun game where you chase and get chased! Avoid the red boids because they want you dead. They're mad and they will shoot you down. Get those blue ones for easy points! You only win when you've wiped them ALL out - there's 100!



You really have to watch out for those red ones. They're smart. They will form packs and they know how to lead you, and they're dead-accurate. That's what makes it fun.

There are also 3 powerups you can get: gatling gun, invincibility, and invisibility! They're kind of self-explanatory too..

I won my first game! 1220 points. Can anyone beat that?

I got 1205.

If you're going to host this on itch.io for free and without a OS X or Linux version, you really ought to distribute the .love :)

Also, I get this error when I push the letter `c`

Be sure that you're using 0.9.0!

Nah, it was actually a bug. I used C to randomize teams in an older version, then I later removed teams.

Anyway, there's a new update out on itch.io! It adds... quite bit! A new background, messages, tweaked settings for a FAR more fun game, revamped point system... it's also MUCH, MUCH harder!

Also, here is a LOVE for the non-Windows users out there.

Since you're hiding error messages, maybe make a check for the love version first and don't throw an error, instead display "please use Love version 0.9.0" or similar?

Cause this .love doesn't work with 0.8.0, as you mentioned before.

It should be mentionned in the OP aswell, with proper links to the place one can download the 0.9.0 nightlies.
Besides this, awesome job.

I have been working on steering behaviors (this experiment is paused ATM), the topic is really fun.

I've taken down the itch.io page for now while I work on the next version. I've refactored the entire codebase and I'm working on adding a lot more to it. It's going to be a complete game now.
