Our 24 hour game jam entry! - 03/12/13 03:50
Hey everyone! I participated in a 24 hour game jam hosted by Games.com. I was able to work with two of my friends to create a rockin Rocket ship building game!
YOUTUBE VIDEO!
Its a little long, so you can skip to 6:50 for a successful build and launch run!
I dunno but it works: Youtube Link We will be uploading an exe this week!

The graphics are nice but I have absolutely no idea what the game is about!

but looks nice.

Well, you build yourself a space ship to shoot astroids and a giant alien.

Yup! Hummel is right! And yes, you guys are right, the game is incredibly unintuitive! The whole point of the game is to build as much garbage around your cockpit to protect you from any potential asteroid strikes before you get to explode the master alien.

LOL Uhrwerk! We were given the theme "Launch", and we decided to go with rocket building. You stack garbage all over your rocket to protect your pilot, fly to space while avoiding asteroids, and crashing asteroids into your garbage instead of your cockpit. In the end, you ram your rocket/warhead into the alien and you win! The player controls the movement of the rocket, and the shooting of the parts!
Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Love it! Very creative, and it seems very fun, too! It's
Galaxy Trucker in video game form (that board game, by the way, I recommend).
I also love title and title screen. Good job!
