December 14th-17th 2012 :: Theme: You are the Villain
You're a dastardly evil villain, so it's only natural that you would do dastardly things... right? You might say, that detonating a bomb is really evil. Detonating a bomb in a zoo - delightfully evil. But what could have even more impact?
Well, climbing into a submarine, going down to the very bottom of the Mariana Trench (which, coincidentally, houses an impressive collection of post-WW2 sea mines) and detonating a giant bomb, thus damaging the Earth's core and destroying the whole planet. Impact, I say.
Controls: arrows for moving, Shift for focused movement.
Press Escape anywhere to close the game.
For Linux users (64bit only), you probably need sufficient *.so files for SFML2 - grab them here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/2.0-rc/SFML-2.0-rc-linux-64.tar.bz2
Linux version was prepared by #sfml's iostream. Many thanks.

I downloaded the linux version, extracted it, and there is a windows executable in it. No obvious linux executables. I tried running 0b08555234_dastardlydiver, but it's not an executable. Am I supposed to use wine on the windows exe?
It said I was missing MSVCR110.dll so I couldn't run the game. I have 64bit Windows 7
Can't play on Windows XP 32-bit
says it's not a valid 32-bit executable
You should consider statically-linking the Visual Studio DLL with the project since a lot of people won't have it on their system. I can't seem to figure out what I need to make it work on my system... It looks great, though; I want to play!
Feel free to leave a shout on my game's page if you find a fix so I can play!
Same problem with the MSVCR110.dll; This is my work computer so I can't install it at the moment either. I'll play it at home though~!
Good game, collisions are a bit annoying because the submarine is a box instead of a circle (I guess?). Loved the mechanic of the surroundings getting darker. Some more fx (audio and graphics) would have been nice.
You should really include the dlls needed, here i was missing some as well.
Cool graphics and music. Pretty simple gameplay, but i like it)
@madpew - actually, all of the hitboxes are circles. It's probably the sprites, not exactly representing the hitboxes.
@SkyWolf - I wish the fix was as simple as including that DLL. Unfortunately it's way more complicated.
I've wasted the entire morning trying to find a fix, almost managed to do it, but it still won't work. I'll keep looking, but for now, I can't provide a fix :C
sorry, same here
says it's not a valid 32 bit windows program
I would guess my C++ runtime would be up to date, so I'm guessing, 64 bit problem?
Thanks to rbanke on the NeoGAF Forums, I've found a fix to the "MSVCR110.dll not included" problem (required two more files). I've updated the Windows link with a proper archive.
Awesome!
The music and visuals were superb and gave the whole game a great atmosphere.
The controls feel very hard and squarish, maybe you could have made them a bit more floaty? The overall aesthetic is really cool though, especially when you get deep down ;)
@BarrensZeppelin - I actually intended to do that (adding momentum to the movement, since you're underwater), but there wasn't enough time :( Good to hear you liked it, though.
Nice gameplay, music and graphics, shame about the Deus ex machina, though.
Loved the way the game got darker as I got deeper, a nice touch. I agree, the controls could have done with a little bit of inertia, also I was disappointed when I made it to the bottom and there was no huge bang!
Why do you want to put a bomb in a place FILLED with mines ? Just blow any mine and start a chain reaction. :p
Anyway, cool effect with the lighting slowly reducing and forcing to look for the mine's light, that was nice.
The hit box of the mine seemed larger than their sprite.
Is there an ending or is the goal to get the highest score ?
Wow, I really loved this.. Loved how the lights on the mines were the only thing I could see at depth, really upped the ante. Impressive work!
PS, was fine on xp 64bit.
There a situations where you can't pass through without getting damaged by a mine. That is a bit frustrating. The game is simple, but it works. Anyway, the visuals are lovely and the background music is great.
Liked it. Wished I had more armor though. Worked for me on Windows-64 bit.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Loved the music! Collision box on the submarine felt larger than it looked, my only complaint.
