Harvester 008

Backstory

You are the A.I. program in control of a harvester for Mega City. The city are considering upgrading the fleet, which would mean you losing your job, so now is the time to show them that they don't need to upgrade.

Instructions

W,A,S,D - control the ship.

Space Bar - this will point the ship upwards. There is no other way to right the ship atm.

H - toggle help on/off

Motivation

I joined this LD as an opportunity to test a physics engine I programmed over the Christmas holidays. The physics are just collision detection and resolution, and was missing a few 'core' methods which I added over the weekend (things like applying forces on the bodies), and I'm happy to say that for a basic game is seems to be okay.

It would be great if you could let me know if you have any problems running the game. You should be able to just run the executable and it should start.

I've already heard from friends that the movement is lagging, so hearing from you all would be awesome!

Post Jam Version

As I didn't have enough time to finish all the things I wanted to include in the game during the 72 hours, I have started working on a post-jam version of the game. The features and gameplay will largely be the same, but the graphics will be improved as I finish drawing the city and add animations to the background.

Thanks
