Sat-E

So I entered Ludum Dare 22 this weekend as a preamble for tomorrow's linear algebra exam. The theme this time around was Alone and the game I came up with is about a lonely satellite in space, kinda like Wall-E.

Download
Windows (2.1 MB)

Grand Thief Arto

Here's me and Li's game for our school course. The game isn't tweaked too much but it's a game with some fairly cool ideas.

Grand Thief Arto

Download
Java runtime including source (0.2 MB)

Instructions
Your goal is to collect loot until you can escape through the entry point when you've collected enough to complete the level.

There are touchpads and lasers you need to shutdown by walking next to a computer or an electric board and shut them down from there. Otherwise you need to open doors and then just run around and collect.

You can either play by launching the bash script "play" directly in the folder or launch the game with:

java base.GameFrame
or
java -Xss2048k -Xms64m -Xmx1024m base.GameFrame

Or whatever your preferred way of launching java apps is. You obviously need the java runtime, otherwise you might fetch it from here.

You might need to create the binary files for it. Use the bash script "create" or do:

javac base.GameFrame

But it might not be necessary.

Controls
Arrow keys - Walk around
Space - Do action
Esc - Menu

My Minions

So I think I made it! It became a pretty different game from what I set out to create, but I'm glad with how it turned out.

My Minions

Download
Windows (2 MB)
Linux, Slackware 64 build (3.4 MB)

Instructions
Build a pathway and then place objects or release minions on it, everything must be on a path. Place musical objects or make the minions turn or split to make sound and create some music. Or you can create a digital circuit and make it do something fun.

Controls
Mouse Left - Place an object
1 - Toggle up through objects
2 - Toggle down through objects
Space - Release a minion
K - Kill all minions

P - Pause
Left Shift - Increase speed
Left Ctrl - Decrease speed

L - Load map
S - Save map

F1 - Console, nothin fun :(
F10 - Exit the game

Now beware, I didn't have the time or energy to create a full blown level saving, so it will always use "level.dat" in bin as it's save file. It will overwrite and it will do so without asking.

If you want to build it yourself it depends on: lua, boost and sfml.

Where's Teddy?

So I did this course Game Design and what's a course on Game Design without a game? Well, here it is. Made in about seven days (more likely eight) and I thought it became quite cool.

Where's Teddy?

Download
Where's Teddy? (6.2 MB)

How to Play
Your mission is to find teddy and his teddybear friends. The problem is that it's dark and it's really hard to find them if you can't see where you're going but thankfully you have a candle with you and if you're lucky you can stumble on more candles to keep you from going completely dark.

Controls
Move with Arrow Keys
Switch and light candles with Space
Next Level: N
Previous Level: P
Reset Level: R
Console: F1

Beebop The Island Hopper

It's here! The stuff of dreams, an entry for the epic Ludum Dare 17 has been made! For those who don't know it's a 48 hour game making competition which actually is pretty silly. Even more silly is my two hours of commitment yesterday but late this night at about 03:05 I am now, finally, writing this post! The theme was islands and this is what I came up with:

A Geek Valentine

Yes! I made it! It's 22:22 on the very last day of February and I've been programming virtually non-stop for the past two days, my brain feels like mashed potatoes...

A Geek Valentine

Download
A_Geek_Valentine.zip (4.1 MB)

Controls
Steer with the arrow keys.

Use spacebar to:
1. Build the time machine
2. Buy and place traps (Just face an empty square and choose a trop on the top right)
3. Sell traps (Face and click)

Story
Well it's Valentine's Day and as the geek you are this is the worst day ever. Luckily you havean almost complete time machine hidden here in the grass and if you could complete it you'll be safe for now! But beware... The girls are searching for you! Place traps and run away!

About
This game, as usual, was made for The Experimental Gameplay Project. This time they asked for a short explanation on how the theme would fit together so here it is:

Rejection + Valentine's day = feelings hurt

And you're the one hurting all the girls' feelings. Enjoy.

MenuCity

This game is called MenuCity and it's a numbers game. Well that's the theme anyway. The game pretty much held to what I planned for - except that it deviated from the theme -again- a bit.

My game is very reminiscent of the old calculator classic Block Dude made by Brandon Sterner. If you like that game, or any puzzle game for that matter, you're gonna love this one.

MenuCity

Instructions
Left/Right arrows - Move
Up arrow - Climb
Down arrow - Pick up/Put down

Bugger

Ahhh... Finally another game! Theme of this beauty is Failure and your mission here is to avoid the bugs. As a programmer the fight with those nasty bugs are a daily occurrence and now I've brought you a chance to kill those nasties too!

The gameplay wasn't what I was planning on - yet again - but I'm actually quite content with the game. It's able to grab your attention for at least a few minutes before loosing you and it's absolutely the prettiest one I've ever made! Enjoy! ^^

Update: 21 sept - small bug fix.

Black and White

Here it is at last! Boasting a unoriginal name, themed Bare Minimum. My thoughts where to create a game where graphics where included into the gameplay but sadly it didn't come out nearly as good as I expected it too.

Yes I know there are a lot of things bad and wrong with this game, but this is a competition with myself to create a game in only seven days and you can't always polish the games like your heart tells you to do.

Black and White

Download
BlackWhite.zip (11.2 MB)

Instructions
Move left and right with the arrows, jump with space and change the blocks with enter. Esc into the menu and there you can enter a highly advanced (not) level editor to change the levels however you want with left and right mouse.

Balls

Here's my first ever experimental game! The theme was Addictive Gaming. My first thought was oh god I'll be making another tetris clone but the end result turned out a bit different. I'm not sure it's very addictive but it's actually okay! =D

Balls is a game about... balls. Well it's all in 2D so maybe Circles would be a better description but I don't think that captures the attention enough.

I didn't think this was possible but here it is! My very first jewel =)

Balls

Download
Balls.zip (7.1 MB)

Instructions
Well... There's nothing to it really. Move the mouse over the balls to make them shrink, survive until the top is filled with balls.
