Baby Viking and the Alien Invasion

December 18, 2007

There's a annual event in Sweden, called Swedish Game Awards, where students compete in making the best game. This year SGA held a "warmup" competition, also open to non-students, where you had to make a 2D game in a week. The theme was "Vikings and the future". After all the fun I had making Kassandra I just couldn't resist joining this as well. I did most of this game in a weekend as well, though some of the art was done in the preceding week. Here's the result: Baby Viking and the Alien Invasion. Hope you will enjoy it, and feel free to comment on the game on the forums (you don't even need to register to post) as I'd love to hear what you think of it.

Big thanks to Patrik Karvonen for doing the music on very short notice.

Download the game:

The source code is available as well for those interested. It uses the Pixie Game Engine (included in the download) but it is somewhat messy, as I had to rush things for the deadline...

Download the source code (needs the game if you want to run it):
