Chess vs Zombies!

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to finish my entry, so I wrote this little game on the last day (second time in a row this happens). At least I get to judge other games. :)

Maybe next time I'll do something that's at the same time decent and not too big. Sorry for those expecting to play my game.

Looking forward to playing your games!

dont know

Objective: protect your family from the zombies for as long as you can. Controls
  • W -> move forward
  • A -> move back
  • SPACE -> attack
  • Mouse motion -> orientate your character
  • Mouse Click -> select a relative and designate his/her location
Weapons

You can fight the zombies with your bare hands but when doing so you will receive damage from their attacks so it's best to use the shotgun which will spawn somewhere in the house at the begining of the game for you to pick up.

Life and ammo

From time to time medkits and food will spawn in the house as well as ammo for your shotgun. You can send a member of your family to pick up life if they are damaged or you can pick them yourself. If you send a relative to pick ammo, you will need to touch him/her in order to get it.

Tips

You can move your family by clicking on them and setting a destination, you will find that some areas are strategically better than others. Keep in mind that they will panic if you move too far from them.

It's a good idea to try to pick up as much ammo as you can all the time... you will need it!

The game ends if you die or if all the members of your family die.

That's it folks. Enjoy and let us know how much time you lasted!

Aliens on My Lawn

This entry is going to be ambitious. Unlike the last attempt, hopefully this keeps my interest and results in some sweetness.

The game is going to be a top-down shooter. Gameplay will be simplistic, but fun. Hopefully the production value is pretty good, though.

IP Saints

The world is in chaos. Ruthless criminals are all over our internet stealing Intellectual Property.

Fortunately the noble God-appointed representatives of content creation summon Justice and its saints to defend the very future of innovation.

A mix of turn-based strategy with card games.

I messed up some of the instructions, so I decided to post this nice diagram here instead:

By the way, your cards are only refilled at the beginning of your turn. And you don't get rid a card unless you use it.

Suburbia!

NOTE: Rated T for Teen (swearing, descriptions of violence)

We took the theme "Get Off My Lawn" and tried to dig deep into the mentality of the kind of person that would say such a thing - what is "Get off my lawn!" really about? It's about someone who is unhappy with his life and is taking it out on others. It's about trying to control that little rectangle you feel ownership over, amid forces that are ultimately beyond your control. It's about dissatisfaction. It's about aging. It's about ennui.

We found that it was pretty hard to make a game about ennui. But we consider it a success.

Currently awaiting funding to begin our next bug project. I mean big project. Please send all Cheques, money orders, loose bills, and live Elephants, to our ranch in Uberwald. The more elephants we have, the sooner we can begin. No money will be spent buying fancy cars or on hotel rooms, it will all be used to purchase elephants to help create our next big game.

Rose Ninja

Wordpress blog is still going strong

Get up to the minute updates on my progress on Twitter! =^..^=

----

Rose the Red Ninja was walking out in the grassy fields near her home in Japan, when a Blue Ninja appeared!

He laughed, and told Rose that she was on Lord Skygem's lawn, and that he wanted her off of it... At all costs!

Rose must fight her way through the Blue Ninja forces and finally defeat Lord Skygem, so that she can bring glory to her master, Lord Crimson!

Notes that weren't in the README:
Press E to pause
Press R to restart the level
(Note:You'll have to sit through the load screen again :-()
Press Q to quit
(Closing the window also works)

The Status:

Done! Hope You Enjoy It!

Level One: Not much to say about it, mostly trying to get the hang of making levels. Came out okay, thought, so I kept it.

Level Two: Big vertical climb with enemies above. Also, lots of enemies at the end.

Level Three: You are immediately dropped in front of a large group of enemies, and must escape. Or fight them, if you're brave/crazy

And Then...: You have won the game! Bonzai!

Benjamin Butterbloom and the evil supergardeners

Hurray it's pyweek again. This is my fourth pyweek and like all other pyweeks before i'm sure, that it's going to be a lot of fun. The last pyweek my motivation lacked a little bit because, the content creation was far to ambitious for a solo entry, so this time i concentrate on the game mechanics and not so much on gfx and sfx. To all of you: Have a nice pyweek!

Lawn of the Dead

You are Sir Grumpy McGrumpington, veteran of the Sheep Wars, and you just want to peacefully enjoy your retirement on your very own stone cottage near a village in Scottland. You are very proud of your superb lawn - you invested a lot of time into it and nobody else in Northern Scottland owns a better one. Maybe not even on the whole British Isles.

But sadly, your plans on peaceful retirement are futile. Something bad happened - Media reports an infection or something else - and everyone seems to turn into a flesh eating half dead half undead beast. You could care less, but just some moments ago those filthy monsters trespassed your lot and are now stomping and scuffling on your precious lawn!

So be it! Grab your old and trustworthy Winchester shotgun and show these undead rowdies what you think of their behaviour!

LAWN: Terror From The Green

A lighthearted tactical stealth game for the theme "Get off my lawn!", LAWN:TFTG puts you in control of a group of young children on a mission to rescue their football.

Tips to players:

Tip 1: Click on stars on the map to start missions.

Tip 2: If you only have 1 non-panicked kid left, restart the mission by pressing SHIFT-R. There's no penalty for retrying.

Tip 3: Distraction is key. The elderly turn towards sources of sound. Even if they heard something, another sound can divert their attention again.

Tip 4: Kids can move off the lawn while others can't.

Kettling

  • kettling-lite-0.1.tar.gz — Re-upload of lite version with readme file - needs a less beafy computer to run than normal version; requires panda 3D.
  • kettling-0.1.tar.gz — Exactly the same as kettling.tar.gz, just with the addition of a readme.txt file I forgot. Still requires Panda 3D to run - windows users will be better off with the installer.
(Note - the above files (If viewing this on the list of all games.) are the code for the full version - you will need a computer with panda 3D installed to use this. On the download page there are Windows installers for convenience. The lite version is for lower spec. computers as the full version is very demanding.)

A protest simulation - you control the police in a simple (But deceptively tricky) RTS and kettle some protesters. Kettling is a term that reached prominence recently when used by the police at the G20 demonstrations in London - it refers to trapping a group of protesters in an area and not letting them leave, for any reason. The only way to leave early is to suffer a medical emergency, or suffer a medical emergency because you can't leave in the first place to get medicine.

Spawnmower Lawn Defense

You are a pest control technician and you are chosen to save the worlds lawn from vermin attacks.

The game contains different towers, creeps, time dependent menus and can partially be controlled with gestures.

You can build the following towers:
FlyFlatTowerThe Fly flap is good to attack a group of insects with its splash damage. It cannot attack air units.
HoneyPotTowerThe HoneyPot Tower has less damage than all the other towers. It slows down the creeps for a while. In the lesser levels enemies gets a health point bonus when they are attacked by the HoneyPot.
ToadTowerThe Toad Tower is very effective against small insects. It can only attack one enemy at a time.
InsecticideTowerThe Insecticide Tower is effective against groups of enemies. It causes a poison damage over time, if an enemy was hit.
Every Tower is available in 3 Upgrade levels. If you like shortcuts, you should take a look into the README.txt. Have Fun and good luck to all pest control technicians!!!
