[LD29] Gold Diver

Here is my entry for Ludum Dare 29. Unfortunately the game is not finished. It's kinda workable, but misses a lot of features and packs a lot of bugs. I guess you can still get a little kick out of it with the proper alchool level in the blood, and the proper sleep deprivation ;)

The game is not finished, but I hope you's like to check it out. It's a spin on the AntEater ardace game. The diver has to get passed the obstacles to get the gold treasures. Hit the action button to rewind the breating pipe and go back to the boat.

Keyboard Controls:
arrows+spacebar

Gamepad controls:
direction+A button

A lot of things are missing on what I was planning:
  • missing animations/graphics for sharks and crabs
  • missing sound overall
  • harpoon for the diver
  • droping the treasure when shooting harpoon or when getting hit.
  • Shark is attacking the diver and not the breathing pipe, but crab where supposed to attack the breathing pipe and not the diver. forcing to get some strategy to get to the loot.
  • Moving slower when bearing a treasure.
  • ....
My main problem that made me fail the Jam: I'm still not fluent enough with Haxe and HaxePUNK. I'll still recommend HaxePUNK despite all the problems I had with it.

I'll be there for you - Insanity Jam 2014

Last week I participated in the Insanity Game Jam. The goal was to generate a random crazy game idea from the generator and make a game out of it. My generated idea was "An indie game where you resurrect your friends with your friends.". The result is a puzzle game where you transplant organs from one friend to another in order to get everyone alive.
You can download the game here: Mac (x64) Win (x64)
The game entry for the jam is here.
