3 hours to fame

[BlueboyX]

When I was about to start the game I was thinking of making a shooter but I wanted something new. 

Most complete looking one though for only 3 hours.

I took an extra 30 minutes to make the menu,highscore, and healthbar
I was actually waiting for a few more games to be submitted so I could get a few ideas on what type of game I wanted to make.

I think I made it within the 3 hours but I didn't pay close attention to the time, took lots of breaks etc so not sure.

Not finsihed but the best I could do with 30mins.

JaJ: Awesome, i've always wanted to make a game like that. Didn't like how it always restarted from the start.

BP: Cool, grim fandango inspired? It's too short btw.

Bingo. Wish I could of submitted it for the comp, probly finish it this week.

I liked the graphics, but gameplay was just a matter of holding in the mouse button and running through the people. 

@Jaj
Thats pretty cool. He seems a bit retarded when he jumps though, only because he jumps so low. I thought it was fairly easy till those red balls mobbed me

Is this thing over? or do I still have a chance to enter? I suck.

[ShaneHeres]

it's not over as far as i know.
not until we write up a review of it

Finally had a chance to try some of the entries.

I quite liked Darthlupi' s game, would make a great casual Flash game I think. It was a bit annoying to jump out if you were in a hole.

I liked Deadheat's the most though. It felt so easy to kill them; very fast fire and they die instantly. Felt very rewarding, with the cool particles too. Gameplay wasn' t original at all, but very good execution. Addicting.

JaJ' s was kinda cool. Mostly because of the style imo.

Brian's (hey Brian!), interesting, though my hand hurts now I didn' t think smashing one of the guys felt very rewarding (didn' t have sound on though, don't know if it had sounds), it should feel like you really smash someone over, maybe hold still for a few frames when you hit someone. (or have the screen shake, your ball bounce back, etc). Just felt a little weird.

EDIT: Tried again with sounds, works much better (should've done that in the first place...). Still I think there should be more visual feedback.

BlueBoyX' s looks very good, stylistic and so forth, but didn' t find it much fun, sorry.

I probably spent closer to six rather than three hours on this one

Instructions: Figure the game out. PS Z can do stuff during certain conditions

@JaJ: Nice, although slightly bland. Definitely good for three hours, though.

@BlueBoyX: Nice graphics, weird gameplay. Mouse controlled sword swinging is really hard to get right...

@Paztor: Nice although a bit too simple, maybe?

@Kvalster: Damn that's some hot stuff. Gameplay is a bit boring but the first impression the game gives is quite amazing.

@im9today: Lovely sprites, weird gameplay. Spend some more time with it, maybe? Seems like it could turn into something awesome.

@darth: Reminds me of Kloonigames TIGSource entry for the b-game competition. Pretty fun and nice to look at.

@deadheat: Fun game. A bit too simplistic, but I really enjoyed the feeling of the engine.

@Radnom: The game made me feel ill. Seriously.

@2dcube: Nice, fun to play and I like the weapons.

@Jw: Awesome style, decent gameplay. You should refine your standard arcade gameplay for these platform shooters. If they were slightly more varied they'd be a lot more fun.

@Brian: That was really cool. Fun too. Like the rope physics.

@Shane: Awesome style like always. I liked it overall despite the lack of gameplay

@BP: Finish it

Good God Jonatan, this game is brilliant.

Can someone get all the entries together so I can post them in some places?

@cactus @me: people keep saying that even though really the game just sucks, so imma upload the file and sprites and stuff to the board and if anyone wants to continue it I'll sprite whatever they want. It's the best I can do really, I'm not too interested in expanding it because I realized my idea for it is just like the pig city level in rocket knight for the genesis

[ShaneHeres]

I had a dream last night that Tim W was on the private board posting and no one knew who activated him.

Any way, I will try to write up a little review on what this is and why we do it along with all the entries and then i'll send it to you or something. Tonight I hope. Maybe sooner.

[JW]

That's some huge asskicking you made there cactus. Almost beats xWung.

[ShaneHeres]

Yeah, I was going to have first post after it but I forgot to say. When will you be running out of style ideas? This is just awesome, and how you always find a way to do things different, like displaying the score is pretty inspirational to me  .
