feedback on first game - very original

this is my first game. Its sitting about 90% done.

Nice styled graphics!

Runs well, although at times I don’t seem to pick up the little chaps at the bottom.

Confusing tho, what exactly is the objective? :slight_smile:

Kev

you have to pick them up around the shoulder area (I have some code blocked out until I finish the graphics that’ll allow you to pick him up by his feet).

objective, to lift the kid to the top and knock them off other ballons.

Jupp, kick-ass graphics. No problem with running it on a winXP machine with jre1.4.2 and a lowend nvidia gf4.

I get points both when the other kids reach the top and when I knock them down. Also I get points when the kid I control falls down, so it’s still a bit confusing what the objective of the game is (which all of course could be caused by some missing code).

Feels like it has potential to be pretty cool when it’s finished though. :slight_smile:

Don’t mean to be a pain in the ass, but I have to say, the copyright notice is a bit strange considering you totally ripped-off those graphics.

OTOH, it was fun torturing the kids, though I’m also not sure what I was accomplishing.

Good work.

no, your not being a pain in the ass, thats a good point. I’m still waiting on his approvial before I continue the developement and how he wants to be credited/promoted. Once I hear back, I’ll address all those issues (but in the mean time, it would probably be better for me to remove that, thanks)

(I think it turned out really well for a first game, I’ve got a few more in the works that will really slick)

Hi,

the game run fine on my WinXP with jdk 1.3.0_01. I didn’t understand the game, but it looked fine.

Keep going…
