Viking Supermarket Smash!

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

This is my first real official build of my current project, Viking Supermarket Smash. The name is courtesy of videogamena.me 's random name generator. The premise of the game is that you are a viking, Gurf, who is disgruntled at the supermarket for their high prices. Cause as much havoc as possible by knocking things off of the shelves! Watch out for shopping carts and wet floors. Use the space bar to jump and press enter to swing.

I really like the overall theme/feeling (story and art) of the game, so great job on that.
Feedback:

  • Every 8 seconds or so the game stutters for half a second or so. Is that when you create the data for the environment?
  • I would like to see multiple swing styles implemented, I believe you can only hit one item a time currently so perhaps you could add a wider swing that does AoE damage but requires more time to execute. This would allow for more dynamic game play as you have to decide between taking a longer time to hit multiple items stacked up or use precision hits for items that are alone.
  • I encounter the shopping cart and wet floor sign once and never again.

Just a fun thought: perhaps you could have your score reflected in your beard size. So at a score of 0 you have a wimpy beard but at a score of 100 you have a magnificent beard. Good luck on your project, I look forward to updates.

Update: I added a rage bar that can be activated by pressing shift. You can fill said bar by hitting things off of the shelf. I believe I fixed the stuttering problem.
Use the same download link as before to re-download it.

Rather space and enter I suggest a pair of nearby keys like X and C.
