[Eclipse]

We made a co-op, 2 to 5 players game during the Global Game Jam 2013 and we won the chapter in Rome as "Best Game".

We had great fun making the game and the whole jam was an absurdly amazing experience, with more than a
hundred jammers and a lot of very cool people.

So yeah, the goal of the game:

The Goblin King is drunk and he's lost in his dungeon again...
Please fellow minions, help him find a bed to crash for the night!
Taunt him so he will follow you but beware his anger. Only a beer will calm him down!

As I said, this is a game for 2 to 5 players - actually it supports single player too, but it's a lot better with more than one player (let's say it kind of suck if played alone) :-)

Supports keyboard and xbox 360 gamepads! (sorry, no other kind of pad support at the moment, time was against us but if you have a ps3 pad you can use DS3Tool!)

Features:

- Procedural levels!
- Fancy graphics!
- Colored goblins!
- METAL!  
- A very douchebaggy king.

I've also made it open source, if anyone wants to see how a little jam game is made

It's quite amazing how much Tommo and Danny wrote in under 48h, but beware, all the gameplay was coded in C++ inside header files, don't do that for real non-jam related projects, ever :asd:

oh I forgot to add: the theme for the jam was just an heartbeat sound, we wanted to avoid follow-the-beat or games featuring hearts because we knew a lot of people were going to do that, so after thinking a bit outside the box our process was something like heartbeat -> mood swings like panic\anger -> anger management.
Tommo wanted to do a co-op game, I wanted to do procedural stuff, and a friend of ours told us he was punched in the face by a drunk type for no reason while walking down the street. All this stuff mixed up inside our brains and yeah: a drunken goblin king and his minions of course.

This doesn't look like the most replied thread ever, but anyway, I'm leaving this here, for whoever might be interested:
if you don't have any X360 joypad, it's possible to play with "generic" pads using x360ce!

I initially thought we could gather some good feedbacks in here :D
