Dead Run 2

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

A few months ago I wrote a really small game called Dead Run, a game about escaping zombie wrath and stuff. So now, for a week I’ve been working on a game called Dead Run 2. Its supposed to be a puzzle game, and I haven’t added everything I want to put in it so far. I’m just really into 2D games right now and haven’t been paying attention to my 3D ones.

All the graphics in this game are the second attempt I’ve given at pixel art, and some of the designs are from those I’ve seen of other games with pixel art, so don’t judge the art too harshly. :slight_smile:

There are currently only 4 levels to play so far, and I’ve added some checkpoints in. I wouldn’t really want to post an incomplete game right now, but I want to get some opinions on the game so far, in terms of puzzle and challenge. I’m not really good at creating puzzles either, but I’m trying my best. :smiley:

So, here’s the download and tell me what you think! Suggestions, additions, modifications, take-outs, please post them all:

Controls:
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = move around
ESCAPE = reset level
SPACE = punch

Your download is just an empty file.

#3

Sorry, fixed. o.O Ubuntu zipping is sort of confusing through terminal <.<

#4

Window shows but doesn’t draw anything.
/res folder is empty

#5

You’re kidding me… Darn it ubuntu D:

#6

There, fixed. gee whiz

#7

Game works :slight_smile:
Cool and difficult, but I’d like it better if you could push the obstacles just by walking in to them, not having to press the space bar.

#8

Alright, yeah, that makes sense. I don’t know why I made you punch it. I’ll work on that tonight :smiley:

Alright, fixed that. What you have to do now is while you punch, move around to move the boulder. Just having you push through the rock ruined the point of some levels. ):

PS: I’m coming out with 2 new levels tomorrow! :smiley: Hopefully not too frustrating

#9

why no screenshot?

#10

There is an image. o.O

#11

Oh yes, It didn’t load before :slight_smile:

#12

Oh, ok. >:)

Did you play the game? Does it look and feel good? :smiley:

#13

Yap. It runs well. Kinda reminds me to notch’s LD entry (forget the name).

Just there is glitch where you can change your direction while on ice.

#14

Yeah, I did base the graphics off of his LD entry.

And what was the glitch? ): I can’t seem to find it.

#15

When you skiting on ice, you shouldn’t be able to change the direction before you hit something.

Hint: it maybe your code glitch, or my framerate glitch (late update on graphics). Because I run openJDK here. Better not mind it until someone else say so ::slight_smile:

#16

Well, I run on openjdk too. :confused: I guess I’ll wait if there is again, because I can’t change direction.

#17

Nice game! :slight_smile:

Making 2D games creepy?
#18

Awesome game!

#19

Oh, thanks. Didn’t realize this would be “brought” back alive. xD
