Entry for Ludum Dare 23 by armornick.
Gameplay
--------
A small and simple ascii graphics strategy game.
Currently has only one weapon and two enemies.
Thus nothing more than a whack-a-mole game. With mines.

Tried it and it should be working. Did you get an error message?
Its an ok game, could turn out to be something with a few additional features :)
The OSX link says file not found, but I was able to download the .love file and run it via love. Nice first try. Keep it up!
Maybe you could make the microorganisms follow a trajectory and limit the number of mines. This way the user has to put the mines in an intersection point where 2 or more organisms cross.
That was something I originally planned but things happened and I had to start over with only 10 hours left so I didn't have much time to work with.
***I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.***
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Please consider making a browser game next time.
Clicking cases things to stop moving. Then I can click a bunch of other things and kill 'em. So long as I use the wrong end of the mouse!
Too easy (just click the enemy)! Could be fun with more features.
Humorous, own fonts, nice idea. Too easy.
Couldn't download .love file but running the sources through Love worked.
the shortest game i played so far, about 30 sec :D
But funny, i like the ascii graphics.
This ends up being a click the enemy game, especially because you have unlimited mines. The enemy movement eases the difficulty even further.
The ending text was kind of amusing though, and you made it in Love2D, which is awesome.
One last thing: you credit sfxr for sound effects, yet I heard nothing play? Is this a bug?
Hey, just letting you know that that preview image isn't very good. When viewed from the list of games, it just seems completely black. Maybe upload a picture of a zoomed in section of the game? Something that's visible in the screenshot.
Also I'm getting a file not found error, and from the looks of the downloads, it seems like everyone else is too. :C
It's a strange thing, those downloads. I uploaded the love file to github and it's even there in my list of files but when I click it, it says file not found.
About the sound, I did have sounds in my first version but some things happened and I had to restart with only 10 hours left so I didn't have time to implement everything.
Unless I'm very much mistaken, it should work on an iMac. Just download Love2d (from love2d.org) and the source and put them together.

Couldn't download the file, link wasn't working for me. I'm not sure if the service is overloaded or not
