Brutus The Naked Mole Rat

“Help the naked mole rat Brutus avoid the terror invading the surface. Gather tubers and give them to the workers in you naked mole rat family. The tubers give the workers different amounts of energy which let them dig deeper and deeper tunnels to get away from the inevitable downfall.”

This is my first “completed” game, working on another one. First jam, and my take on the “Deeper and Deeper” theme at Ludum Dare 48. Just started learning game developement, constructive criticism is always welcome.

I hope it isnt to buggy, it is supposed to run in fullscreen, i had a bug it sometimes did not, and made the mouse “aim” bugged out because of that. Worked after restarting the game.

Have a good one!

Constrols:

WASD - movement

Mouse - aim

Mouse left - Throw Bronze Tuber

Mouse Middle - Throw Silver Tuber

Mouse Right - Throw Golden Tuber

ESC - Main Menu

F1 - Main Menu

F2 - Toggle the music playing in game.

Done in GameMaker Studio 2 (GML)

Aseprite - Graphics and animation

Bfxr - Sounds

I did everything by myself except the music so i made it possible to turn the music off.

Minor Fixes in the new Build "Brutus_MINORFIXES_LD48.zip":

Fixed correct sound for the Golden tuber.

Fixed correct energy amount on Bronze and Silver tuber

Fixed tuber spawner to not go out of the room, which resulted in no tubers to pick up which ended up in not being able to progress further.  And alot of unnecessary objects spawned outside the game view.
