Originally made for 32x32 jam, never submitted it. I don't know why. Recently made a few improvements and decided to release it.

In overheat you must shoot to avoid overheating and exploding! But don't shoot anything or the stress will make you explode.

Instructions:

Shoot using the arrow or WASD keys
Don't let the heat meter fill
Don't shoot too many things
Press F1 to enter/exit fullscreen mode
Turn your speakers off to mute audio

Houston, we have a problem. I can't start the game... I tried spacebar of course, and a few others. Also when reverting out of fullscreen the game doesn't shrink back down. It does leave fullscreen, but makes the window larger than my physical screen.

I can't re-create this problem, neither the fullscreen issue or the game starting. Hm. Anyone else having this problem?

Are you sure you're using the same LÖVE version? Any information about your resolution / screen setup?

I'm running v0.9.2 with a resolution of 1024x720(shitty laptop), but I'm not sure it'd make a difference as his conf.lua doesn't designate a version:

Code: Select all

function love.conf(a)
	a.title = "Overheat"
	a.identity = me
	a.window.width = 320
	a.window.height = 320
	a.window.fullscreen = false
	a.window.resizable = true
end

Conf.lua doesn't designate a version, but that doesn't mean it's version-agnostic; when unspecified, it's assumed it's for the latest version (0.10.0). Try updating

The key string for the space bar was changed between these versions. In 0.9.2 it was " ", now it is "space". So that's one down.

As much as I'd love to update to 0.10, I can't. My current system doesn't support OpenGL, so no canvases and no update. :x

But after manually updating the keys so I can play, my high score is 152... Not a bad game really. It's simple, but easy enough to get hooked for a few rounds! ^^

A suggestion for future reference... You can fix it to work for losers like me like this:

Code: Select all

if key == "space" or key == " " then
-- blah
end

Thanks for the tip. Added a version for graphics cards without OpenGl 2.1 support.
