Click to play!

I made this game this weeked for the Ludum Dare competition.
More than 70% into it I was still convinced it wouldn’t turn into a fun game at all, but eventually I managed to bring it all together.
It’s not a perfect game by any means, but I’m happy with it. =)

Haha very cool game. I won too :slight_smile:
Would be cool if you add more to it later…

#3

Is there a way to reset a level? I managed to loose the key on level 4 and can’t redo it :stuck_out_tongue:

#4

It is fun, but a way to restart a failed level without waiting ages to die would be a big improvement.

#5

Cool, old school - I like it.

#6

yeah, i forgot to add a way to reset a level… Unfortunately, the 48 hours are over.

#7

Nice pixel work, I really like the animation when bunnies got crushed ;D. Did you make the sound too?

Unfortunately I got stucked at a level where the key was destoried but my character survived.

“YOU WON”

Really cute art and animations.

There were times when I thought “I wish there wasn’t a minimum time between each bunny crush - I have failed it and it’s taking too long to kill them all”

I guess a way to invoke a restart would fix that.

Very win.

#9

Yeah you should release a post-LD update where you can press R to restart. I haven’t finished specifically because I got annoyed waiting for all the bunnies/me to die in order to try again.

#10

I’ve added the ability to reset the level with escape or backspace (you might have to restart your browser to clear the applet cache).

Also, here’s a timelapse of me making the game.

#11

hehe great stuff. what program is it that your using to create the sprites? and the timelapse?

#12

I mostly use paint.net. It’s not bad, but not great either.

For the timelapse, I use a tool called “chronolapse”. It was made by one of the people in the Ludum Dare competition.
It spits out a bunch of png images, and I then process them with the command line tools from image magick, then convert them into an avi using mencode.

#13

Yep, cool and quick to play. Fits nicely with web games you play when you have a few minutes. I got squashed in level 3 but played only one time.

#14

nice :slight_smile:
I reached level 5, could not get the bunnies to eat the carrots …
anyway, good casual game … my girlffriend said “how cute !” , until she saw the bunnies get smashed

It was better with the reset button. I love the maps when you needed the help of the bunnies.

End picture was… special.

#17

I Won! -yes I did it :wink:
Nice game and sweet -old scool- graphics
Very funny to play.

The time lapse coding video is genial!
Respect for coding such a game in hurry…
For me coding takes days, months and finally years

Very nice job! 48 hours, huh?

#19

I ended up not dieing in one level, but not getting a key and just stood around. That’s amazing you could do that in 48 hours. I can hardly do anything in that amount of time. The instructions came a little fast, maybe letting someone click after they read them on each level would have been better.

Once I get things figured out a little more in java, I want to cut my development time way down. Not enough for Ludum Dare because of the rules about not reusing code, but maybe a game every couple months.

What a fun game! I’m amazed you did it all in 18 hours! All the detail in the graphics, sounds, and brilliant game play! Excellent job! …and one of the few games I actually made it all the way to the end. :slight_smile:
