CC-006 - 4x4x4 Challenge October 2022

Post by Sirocco »

THE NEXT CHALLENGE STARTS NOW

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use the emoji generator to make a micro-game based off of 4 randomly generated emoji. This compo should be vaguely Halloween-themed, although this is not strictly enforced.

RULES

1. GO HERE.
SELECT "Halloween 4x4x4" from the dropdown
Generate 4 emoji until something makes sense. The goal is to get weird so don't just sit there and reroll until you can make Mario.

2. Make a micro-game using the 4 emoji as your theme.

3. All targets are allowed. All libraries/engines are allowed. Get out there and get shit done.

4. Reusing code and assets is highly encouraged. Build on your successes and make your life easier.

5. Challenge ends in one month. So October 30th for teh slow.
EDIT:We're all having a rough month, so I'm extending the deadline by a week. November 6th is new deadline.





EXAMPLE:

With this, I might make a game where people compete within a high-rise to swap apartments as fast as possible, or maybe have two moving services competing to move furniture between apartments within a time window.

Guess I'm gonna go ahead and call mine out:

✒ ♨ 🚀 🔮

Tentative idea is "Spell out words by launching rockets in a hot spring, hitting the letters in the air. Hot spring is inside a snow globe and you can shake it to change position of letters."

I don't have a lot of time this month, so I'm hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew (again) XD

Hopefully this gives people enough time to squeeze in an entry. October is tough; I know.

It was a properly fooking tough month for everyone, and I think I'm the only one who managed to squeak an entry in, and that was only by sliding across the finish line ass-first at the eleventh hour, with a partially-complete entry :\

Things are tough all over, man.

COMPO ENTRY (Unpolished) (Win32 Binary + Source)
FINAL VERSION (polished) (Win32 Binary + Source)

Mine ended up being a weird bullet-hell + missile command fusion, with some zany summons to help keep you alive. The twist is that any shots that hit the player reflect, and can then damage the 8 lamps. If all the lamps go out, it's game over.
