+atari2600land Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Well, I think this game is far enough along to get feedback on it. This game is of the fly-swatting genre (If that is a genre). Get the needle over the giant green germ and press fire. If the germ reaches the leg, the game ends. Tell me what you think. I spent last night putting some sound effects in it. knee12.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Kind of a funny concept. Reminds me of a PS1 game called Mr. Mosquito where you play the bug trying to bite the humans. Might be fun to swap roles for a second round where you control the fly trying to avoid the swatter and get to the leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylearan Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Haha, great name! Gameplay lacks variety IMHO. Right now I simply move in the general direction below the germ, then just hold fire and wait until the germ flies into me. More challenge and/or variety would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 That's the kind of feedback I need. So I added a timer, and if it gets down to 0 (or the germ reaches the leg), the game ends. knee13.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Fixed a problem with the floor. It changed levels when going to b&w from color. I also lowered the number of seconds you have to 5 and changed it so you get the same number as the time remaining, so if you get the germ when the time remaining is 3, you'd get 3 points. knee14.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 yeah, lack of difficulty is the biggest drawback. I played for 200+ points and the game never got any more challenging. I like the germ sprite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I changed the way the germ moves. See if it's any more difficult now... knee15.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
