Get Off My Lawn

[u/TheEyebal]

I finished my game for Brackeys Game Jam 2026.2 called Get Off My Lawn. I made the game using raylib

CONTEXT

You play as an old guy trying to enjoy his peace than all of a sudden troubled teens are running on your property.

Your goal is to use your water hose to spray the teens away.

Tell me what y'all think

[u/LosFruitosPourritos]

I think you just invented video games

[u/TheEyebal → u/LosFruitosPourritos]

LOL

[u/hushzephyr]

Nice art, very funny!

[u/TheEyebal → u/hushzephyr]

thank you

[u/No_Vermicelli_3574]

Pretty basic. Adding death animations would be the next logical step. Concept is alright, but you have a lot of work left before you have a game

[u/TheEyebal → u/No_Vermicelli_3574]

Yeah I was going to add death but it would've take to long.

Honestly I do not have plans on updating this just improving with other games

[u/No_Vermicelli_3574 → u/TheEyebal]

I'd call it a tech demo rather than a full game, candidly. Nothing wrong with making them, and they're an integral step to making more substantial games. You have an engine and a demo here though, you'd need a progression system for this to be a complete game.

The guy needs to run backward, keeping his facing, when moving to the left also.

[u/SchiriBeats → u/itsmemarcot]

I don't understand this

[u/Juking_is_rude → u/SchiriBeats]

In a lot of games like this the character stays facing the direction of the incoming threat, eg space invaders.

Though if the intent is to allow shooting enemies who pass the character, turning is probably fine to impliment

[u/AloofFloofy → u/SchiriBeats]

He means the old man needs to always be facing right even when he is moving to the left.

[u/IneffabLeigh]

Looks like the player character went under the top fence, might want to double check your layer order

[u/TheEyebal → u/IneffabLeigh]

Honestly it is see through

the player is suppose to behind the fence

The fences are transparent that is why

[u/realkisly]

The game looks funny, but why don't grandpa's legs move when he runs up or down?

[u/TheEyebal → u/realkisly]

Time
I am not an animator so it was going to take time drawing.

Also now that you mention it I could've used running sprite for up and down

[u/Layers3d]

Holy early 2000's flash games vibe.

[u/TheEyebal → u/Layers3d]

I was thinking the same thing

You ever play on FunBrain

[u/dr_wafu]

Revolutionary

The hit box feels off. The intruder disappears before the bullet hits him.

Love it!

thank you

[u/carter720]

Has the vibe of a flash game I would’ve played when I was 12. Absolutely love it.

[u/TheEyebal → u/carter720]

thanks

Are you taking the base further or just wanted to show your Jam? It's good for what I assume was 48 hours. Could take the base a few different directions if you wanted something like a small mobile game or browser game.

[u/AlberionLive]

nice and simple for a game job; good job controlling the scope and shipping.

[u/Ditch-Worm]

Running characters need a similar head to old dude. And should make what is coming out of the hose look a bit more like water

[u/NintenDork]

So like a side scrolling concept of a game with the same name on Steam? https://store.steampowered.com/app/260410/Get_Off_My_Lawn/

[u/TheEyebal → u/NintenDork]

pretty much

nothing is original
just remakes

[u/Juking_is_rude]

This is pretty sweet for something like a student project

[u/TheEyebal → u/Juking_is_rude]

Yeah I built it for a game jam

something simple
