My game is for the compo. The theme this time around didn’t inspire too much creativity for me. But I feel really good about my game regardless.

It’s a pretty simple tower defense with a mechanic that is a little different than most. Each wave is a number of towers that is “ideal” for the wave (a par like in golf). If you build less towers than the par you get a health bonus on your building. If you build more towers than the par your building takes extra damage.

There is 1 bug that I couldn’t extinguish before submission. Sometimes after a wave is finished, the game thinks there is still 1 or 2 enemies in the level, when there is not. So the game gets stuck. I put in a cheat though to get passed it. So if you get stuck, just press the “x” key once or twice.

Check it out!

I’m striving for the comp this time around.

I’m using:

• Construct 2
• PyxelEdit
• BFXR
• FamiTracker

Hello,

The game I created for the compo is called “Orgog’s Prison”.

It’s inspired by the arcade game “Berzerk” and Atari version of “Gauntlet”. Those games were created using ancient technology.

I created it using Construct 2 and Pyxel Edit. I hope you enjoy.

You are a dwarf that must go from room to room defending yourself against the orcs by slinging axes.

This is my third Ludum Dare, but the other two were complete failures. I attacked the jam this time with a friend of mine. We divided the design and the programming. I did the art as well. I was really sad that we didn’t have time to add sound or additional levels. But overall I am really proud of us and happy to have submitted my first game.

Still not sure how to incorporate 10 seconds…. Oh well, I’ll figure it out before submission.

Going to be using:

• Unity
• MonoDevelop
• GIMP
• GraphicsGale
• BFXR

I’m going to try to make it extra juicy! Before submitting your games, watch that video for some inspiration. The art doesn’t have to be pretty, but juicy.

Also, here’s a pic of my game jam work space. Redd’s Apple Ale FTW!!!
