Aero Shooter
(This was made for the Glombtacular Gamejam.)
I learned how to do Gamedev in under a month for this gamejam, watch how I did it in this game's Associated Glomble video.
Oh no! you clicked on a sketchy link on a sketchy website and now your Vista-esque computer has a virus that's "mutating" your system code to release a whole bunch of evil red balls!
I guess you'll have to shoot balls with a gun and jump on error messages to get more ammo when your gun runs out.
Controls:
- A/D or Arrow keys to move
- Space bar or Up arrow key to jump
- Left mouse button or w to shoot gun
That's about all, Enjoy! :D

This game is a nice quick game that can be picked up! It doesn't get tiring quickly and the simplicity really works for it here; the goal's immediately clear. The "gun sounds" also add to the charm and don't seem to get annoying, at least when fired at a fast rate. All of the graphics also make sense and fit in with the theme of the jam. That being said, I'm not sure how this relates to the "mutations" theme? I might be missing something. The video itself is delightfully thorough with the development—much better than the three submissions (including mine...) who simply sent in gameplay footage. Great game! Sucks it didn't get in and there hasn't been any communication, though.
Thanks for your comment.
The way this game relates to the “mutation” theme is that the virus is “mutating” the code of the computer to release evil red balls, although in retrospect, it’s a little bit of a stretch.
Also, Dosmaen sent me a late-submit link! My game now got in!
Yippee!!!
Yahoo! I'll repost my comment in the review section!
Also, was it clear that you can jump on the error messages? or is that something I should work on if I were to make a post-jam version?
