Hi everybody,
Not sure where to post this, so i guess il post it here.

I got bored for a couple of days, decided to throw together a little twitch game, got bored making the twitch game, and ive been told its fun. So here’s the game. Its not finished, and by my rising levels of boredom i doubt i will do. Theres no game over, and the source is included in the zip, so feel free to poke around how DP codes.

and here is the zip, can’t be bothered webstarting it, too bored.

PS, play for a while till it gets hairy.
PPS, the code is actually quite hacked, i couldn’t be bothered with OO, too bored.

VERY FUN!!! A little stressful, but that seems to be the point! ;D Being able to quit by using escape would be nice though!

#3

Cool game. Very funny. But as Summary said avbove: A posibility to esacape the game would be nice. :wink:

#4

Pretty funny actually :slight_smile:

#5

great game and concept, i like the motion blur, but couldn’t find the so called “included source code”.

#6

oh sorry, i thought I included the source code. I uploaded the zip again with the source code.

Forgot to say, dont play it if your epileptic…The entire screen flashes when you hit a blob, and when its really hectic, the flashes can be quite rapid. Hope no one got injured :-\

#8

That’s pretty awesome. If you were to add some sound effects, game over / restart, and/or a score this would make a great little mini-game.

#9

not forgetting nice explosions when the blobs break up…and when the bullets bounce of the walls.

If you’re going to rip off Mono, then at least change something and give a link back to their website. >:( Doing a half-way reimplementation with the same graphics and gameplay is a little cheap.

the intial idea was infact to be like mono. But there was meant to be a beaker involved, in which the blobs would go into the beaker, and cute fluffy animals come out of the beaker for you to protect. You get bonus points for doing that at the end of each level.

But I am occupied with something else now, so I can’t really finish it off, but yes, the intial idea came from mono.

Great fun!!! :smiley:

Hope you find the right level of boredom, so that you can continnue to produce stuff like this :wink:
Menu, lives/power and points would make it a real game, but quite a bit of fun as it is.

Looks like great fun, but the zip seems to be offline :frowning:

#14

ye, took it off because of hosting limitations…

I do feel like rewriting it…maybe one day when glDrawBuffersARB isn’t crashing linux :slight_smile:
