Last Stand Hero
Thanks for visiting my game page.
This is my game, created for the GameDev.TV Game Jam of May 2024.
Some info about the game:
The theme was "Last Stand".
I created a Musical Chairs game that matches the theme. Go ahead and try to become the "Last Stand Hero" while competing against your opponents for that beautiful last chair.
Controls:
Move: WASD and Arrow keys
Jump: Space bar
Sprint: Shift
BTW, if you find 5 minutes, please comment with your findings. It will give me insights to improve for my next games. :-)
P.S. The UI is not that great, but I prioritize the game loop.

Nice Game, I had a weird bug when I jumped on the chair an AI jumped a bit after me and then I lost the round as for the game he was the one who has the chair (although we both were on it)
Hey great idea!!
I love the setup and style.
(Took me a minute to figure out I could only jump when the music stopped. Makes sense, I just didn't catch on.)
My big suggestion is to up the AI a bit.
In the later rounds they didn't seem to moving towards a chair.
Great work!
thanks for playing! Glad you liked it.
Yes it definitely needs some improvement. A thought I had was to decrease de play area.
Cool art.
The first 2-3 games it was not clear to me that I had to jump on the chair to claim it, and that I couldn't jump until the last few seconds.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
Yes, the game lacks a tutorial or some extra info in the how to, but unfortunately I ran out of time.
And yes, it was a design choice to only allow jumping, once the music stops playing (which is when the players needs to go sit (in this game stand though) on a chair in the Musical Chairs game. If I did not prevent this, you would be able to go stand on the chair immediately, which was too easy..
The better solution for this would imply implementing some kind of penalty system, which would have, as an example, prevent the player for jumping for x sec, but this will be for a next iteration as the scope was set for the jam ☺️
Maybe just a message to let the players know, or a timer, so that the player understands when they can finally jump.
