A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Pyramech v1.0
Palmyra Orphanage is a paranormal first-person horror, in which only stealth and attention will help you survive. Choose witch end they deserve. Unravel history of the orphanage, but be careful.
Made for Ludum Dare 35
Story:
Your world is being invaded by the evil god king: PYRAMECH! He cannot be defeated by any known weaponry, and so you must survive as long as you can against his onslaught!
Gameplay: Pyramech is a sort of bullet hell where you must use your transforming mechs to survive as long as possible, since without them you die in one measly hit. You can fly, shoot, jump, and barrage your way through the enemies and bullets that PYRAMECH throws against you.
Controls: (No controller support yet, sorry!)
A-D or Arrow keys to run left or right.
Space or Z to jump
Space to thrust the fighter jet
X or Mouse 1 to fire
C or Mouse 2 to transform
E or V to enter a mech

We were not able to make Pyramech as fully fleshed out as we would have liked in time. However, we are pretty proud of what there is!
Leave a comment on your thoughts, or let us know if there is a bug!
In the next week, we hope to have a v.1.1 with some more features, a scoreboard, and an extra mech on Itch.io, though the big addition will be actual difficulty! So keep an eye out for it.

It wont let me click the 'Begin' button, P.S. just from the starting screen this game looks amasing, keep up the good work and thank you for doing what you do =D
I know that I spelled 'amasing' incorectly..... dont patronize me
This has been a bugbear of mine for sometime now. I like using Python 3.x. I like teaching kids how to use Pygame. I use a Mac.Trying to get all three to play nicely with each other has been impossible for me up to now.
I've trawled through web pages and blog posts that recommend all manner of ways in which you can install Pygame on a Mac for Python 3, I've tried numerous solutions on StackOverflow, and I've even tried angrily shouting at my computer and threatening to throw it out of my classroom window. None of them worked.
Today I finally nailed it, and I have Pygame running. Here' what I did.
And that's it. If you have any problems yourself or a better way then please let me know in the comments.
note: the smpeg install is failing for me at the moment, so I'll look into this a little more. Pygame seems to be working without it though.
update
I had some brew doctor issues (around 20!), which might have been due to me trying to install Pygame from source earlier and therefore manually installing all the dependencies, which then conflicted with homebrew.
I deleted everything brew doctor suggested and overwrote all links as suggested. The brew install --HEAD smpeg
suddenly worked (although that might have been because I was no longer behind a proxy). I then did a brew unlink jpeg
and brew link --overwrite jpeg
.
Everything is working perfectly for now. (Crosses fingers, touches wood and searches for a black cat to cross his path.)
