Snowboggan! is a 3d flash game.  I’ve always wanted to write a toboggan simulator, where you can speed down a snowy hill on a sled, dodging trees and smashing into snowmen.  This weekend’s game jams finally gave me the chance.  Check it out!  I would love to read your comments and warmly encourage you to let me know what you think.

Use the arrow keys to go left and right, and try to take out as many snowmen as you can!

In this game, you are immortal.  It was created for fun, and no matter what happens you can always climb back to the op of the hill and start again.  There is a hint of danger, however: if you smash into a tree or hit the “thin ice” signs, you might get flipped over!  If you do get flipped over, simply hit the “Click to restart” button on the top left.

The objective of the game is to discover gravity, prove that snowmen are not at allimmortal, and avoid the thin ice while gravity is constantly drawing you to the bottom of the hill.  These words are bolded because those were the secret “theme” words for the game jams I participated in.

This game was programmed using FlashDevelop for a pure as3 project, compiled using Flex, and the engines are away3d for graphics, jiglib for physics and Flint for particle effects.  All sounds were created by me using a microphone.  The guitar and snow sounds were done with my hands and mouth, and the sliding snow sound was the microphone rubbing up against my winter jacket.  It was an absolute blast to program and I learned a lot.  Thanks for playing.  Enjoy!

Here are screenshots of the game in action:

Source code: http://haitaka.googlepages.com/Booon.zip

Time to go find myself some food, and possibly a quick shower before the compo starts.

The library is based on Mike Schuld’s tutorials (www.thehazymind.com).

It’s not complete, but I don’t have the energy to finish it right now. Will try to add more functionality before the compo begins. No documentation but there’s an example program.

Also, I made a page for my compo entry, whatever it will be.

Blah, must sleep now. It’s 1 am here.

Do HLSL shaders count as “content” (in which case they must be written during the compo) or “part of a graphics library” (in which case they can be written before the compo)?

INSTRUCTIONS:

arrow keys to move the character.
run across the road avoiding the trucks.
get close enough to the green box, and you win!

It’s still a couple of hours till the compo. I just can’t wait. It’ll be my first LD actually. I tried to participate in LD10 but due to some circumstances I wasn’t near my computer through the weekend.

I hope I won’t be the only one developing on a Linux powered machine Good Luck!

Download: cubetendo.zip (Updated with trivial fix for ATI cards)

Windows exe and source code included (compiles in Linux). Requires OpenGL 2.0. If it crashes, try running it from a console (updated the zip with a bat file that does this).

The premise of this game is that you have a flying island high above a windswept planet. On your island you must gather the precious gas resource and defeat your rivals for control over it all. You have the choice of whether to build gas gathering buildings, defensive turrets (pictured), offensive missiles, or stability buildings.

The chain reaction is that when your island is hit with missiles neighboring areas begin to weaken. If there is too much weight on a weakened area from your buildings, whole parts of your island may crumble.

Ok, time for some shuteye and then the final push!

It’s was my first entry to feature 3D, although all gameplay and lighting is really in 2D, and it was also my first entry to not use Allegro. Instead it used GLFW, which is more lightweight, and I really didn’t need all the extra stuff from Allegro.

Uplighter is probably my best and most innovative LD entry so far—it placed first in ‘innovation’, second in ‘fun’, and also won the ‘Best In Show’ award.

You can get the compo version of Uplighter. It’s for Windows, but there’s a shell script (kindly provided by alar_k after the compo) that will fix stuff so it will compile for linux. You’ll need GLFW, GLFT, FMod and FreeType2.

Small notice: After the compo, it was reported to run very slowly on 3.0+ GHz machines. I’m still not sure what that was all about, but it has been reported that this can be fixed by compiling it in VS. If this is still much of a problem, I might get around to fix it myself.

This is an in-development screenshot, showing some octree debugging going on.

That’s how the game looks like. Shoot down all the pink, eyed balls to encounter the uber-cool-final-boss-with-superior-AI. (I got feedback suggesting that at least one person actually played long enough to encounter the boss – so I consider the gameplay aspect successful.)
