La Croix Pan (v1.1)

[Afflict]

Nice one Jburger, really enjoyed the title. I just got slightly annoyed with the way the sniper gun jumps after you click. It sometimes felt that even though I shot the guy it didn't hit him.

But screw that the game was awesome, I would of loved to see a hide function like in time crisis or something, where I can hide when I want to. Instead of being forced to reload and then come up whenever the reload is finished.

As for leaving the enemy alive... didn't you guys watch saving private Ryan?

The game is awesome, I enjoyed it and it was well worth the +/- 30 minutes it took to finish it.

[passer-by]

Nice game. Action and graphics felt like mohaa, which I liked.

Leaving him alive doesn't automatically mean that you'll let him run off to come back and stab you in the chest later on. How about taking him prisoner?

I just replaced the plugin and used an overlay instead. Try downloading it and tell me if it works.

Works great, thank you so much! Great game!

Edit:

Btw, small bug: If you close the door from the inside, you can still walk through it.

[Polaroid]

I enjoyed this. Great atmoshpere.
Loved the opnening sequence.

However, I have to say the door"puzzle" was a bit uninspired.

Care to elaborate?

Well, it's such a standard type of puzzle.
Almost every adventure game has a door-puzzle.

And since this is such a short game, with only 2-3 puzzles, I think it's kinda boring that one of them is a door-puzzle.

But this is just a very minor gripe, really.
It was kinda fun to solve and suited the setting very well, so I hardly mind at all.

Yeah, I tried to incorporate "realism" into the game. If you're wondering whether or not you shot the guy, some blood should show (presuming the enemy soldiers are close enough for you to see blood.)

But screw that the game was awesome, I would of loved to see a hide function like in time crisis or something, where I can hide when I want to. Instead of being forced to reload and then come up whenever the reload is finished.

I haven't played that game, but that would be an interesting feature. Although I don't really know what purpose it would serve except to pause the action.

Thanks for spotting this. It's fixed in the new version.

Yeah, I guess door puzzles are kind of boring, but I had it in mind for the setting, and I thought my take was unique enough on it to incorporate it into the game.

Thanks for playing and commenting everyone! I appreciate all of your feedback.

Any chance of releasing an updated version with the 'alternate ending'?

I'm not planning to change the ending.

It was not what I had intended when I made the game. 

[Afflict]

I Honestly feel the game is intended as it was meant to be & I love the way it is. I don't think Jburger should work any further on it except for bugs or tech enhancement.

I'm really stuck in the part when I have to go down the ladder in the tower and I am confronted by the german soldier, can anyone lend me a hand?

Try looking at the tips in this thread.

If you're still stuck, you can try posting in that thread.

Since it's been bumped...

I just played the game. One of the ways I rate games is: if it makes me feel as though I'm actually *there* (even if if's a 3rd person game - Gabe Knight 1 made me feel that way), then I praise the game as extraordinarily good.

And for the first time ever, in a sniper-style mini-game, I felt my forehead sweating as I took careful aim and kept a careful eye on my ammo supply.

Which is the highest praise I can possibly give to any game.

Thanks, comments like that mean a lot to me, even if it means "bumping" the thread.

Can someone upload again, as the link is broken

[Vince Twelve]

Sorry, my server has been a little flakey today.  I've got to have a word with my host.  Try again in an hour or so.  Or of course, someone can put up a quick mirror.

[Stupot]

This game is great in every way... but... I can't kill all the soldiers without getting killed first.  I'm not saying you should make it easier because everyone else seems to have coped alright, but it's a shame because it means I can't play the rest of the game.
Curse me and my lameness at shooting games.
Spose I should go and spend a few coins on house of the dead 4 for some practice.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

HEh, I had the first problem when I first played the game. But on my second run-through, I didn't even get scratched.

Spoiler

Out of curiosity, how does it all happen? Are we supposed to duck when we hear their bullets (they come in regular periods of time)? If so, how? Or is it all just luck?

A little (okay, big) hint if you're having trouble to shoot the soldiers:

Spoiler

Wait for them to get closer down the road, perhaps near the car, aim for the head, and use breathing to your advantage.

The code kind of goes something like this:

Spoiler

The soldiers spot you at random times, (partially) depending on how close they are to you. Once they spot you, they start firing and it's random if the bullets hit you or not, once again depending on how close they are to you (but only barely).

[close]

Does that answer your question?

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Yep, it does. Thanks muchly.

Ahh, cool.  Right, I'm inspired to give it another bash.

[EDIT]
Nah... Still can't do it.  What's wrong with me?
Once a guy starts shooting at me I can't win because he always keeps shooting me before the breathing is ready for me to pick him off.
