December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
AKA The World Only Gets One
You are an immortal, and the Quickening is upon you. You must behead all others to become more powerful until you are the only one.
Requires Python and PyGame. Written and tested on Ubuntu, though should work on anything with python installed. Sorry Non-US keyboard layouts, didn't have time to make a control mapping screen.
This was my first time writing in python, let alone writing a game and with pygame.
Update: I used py2exe to create a windows executable. Run src/main.exe. I had to change a few things in order to make this run. I haven't tested how stable this is. If you have to you can use this, but it is preferable to run the script through python.

Game seems a little random, but maybe there's some strategy I don't understand. It's almost more psychological than strategic. I had a hard time getting the timing/rhythm right, maybe some sound effect or music cue might have helped. Character customization is awesome.
Wow, this was you first time writing in Python. Good job, man!
hmmmm didnt seem to work for me. Not sure why. tried downloading it twice
Haha! The world gets only one. May it be ME ME ME!
Awesome! Like the original Pirates and Defender of the Crown!
Can't you somehow compile this? Would increase the number of ratings a lot.
Very interesting, I like the change of scenery which keeps rounds fresh. Mechanics taking some getting use to but a very good fighting game. well done!
I am glad I am not the only one to see this theme as an excuse to put highlander quotes in his game.
Wow for a first time in python, this is really impressive ! Nice work !
Wouldn't run here, due to missing pygame dependancy. You'd probably get more reviews if you packaged it in a way that runs easily with all dependancies included.
Nice idea, sort of iterated rock paper scissors. There could be more feedback about what move the opponent is doing, what the right counter is, and who won when the round is over.

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
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.
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.
I like the character customization before the fight. Nice touch.
