Manual Override - JamGame
Entry into the LibGDX 7 day game jam for March 2020
Theme: Global Thermonuclear War
Controls:
Arrow Keys or WASD to manuver. (controls are meant to be floaty)
Avoid Obstacles while you descend and guide you bomb to the target.
Fly through Trajectory Rings to collect points
Game is meant to be short, less than 2 minutes to complete. But it may take many tries.
I didn't have much time to test so. Be wary of difficulty or bugs. I added in an easy mode option just in case. So people can at least get to the ending.
This game is an homage to my favorite scene from the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
The guidance systems on the bomb have malfunctioned. It's up to you to make the sacrifice and guide it your target. Yeeeee Haaaaw!
All assets were created by me with 3 exceptions:
Airplane wing taken from: https://opengameart.org/content/airplane
Big explosion taken from https://opengameart.org/content/pixel-explosion-12-frames
All sounds were found on freesound.org

Simple yet brilliant concept! The feel of the game was great, I really liked the "floaty" movement. The graphics are slick and the music gave me a sense of urgency. The end of the game is perfectly executed :) overall impressive!
Very good game. It brings me back to nice memories while i was studying in the university many years ago, i had a pc with a celeron cpu with lots of dos games in it. One of those games was my favorite with the same concept, but i lost it and forgot the name. And now it is so much fun to play your game :) I love this, keep it and play usually :D
