atari2600land's Blog - Hamburgers En Route To Switzerland

[RSS Bot]

I don't know why I keep making games about food. I guess it's because I'm hungry all the time? Well, at least it was healthy food (tomatoes, lettuce, celery, etc.), that is, until now. I've transitioned to meat. This is the "secret" Game Gear game I was working on. I've decided to unveil it now because, well, I'm stuck.

Not with the code, but with the game play. Right now it just seems, well, boring. I need to spice stuff up. But how? Right now, you control a flying hamburger as it is going to Switzerland. Trying to stop you are the milkshakes. So you shoot them with French fries. But what can I do to make the game exciting? Have the milkshakes target you? Fly away from you? Have them shoot milkshake squirts?

I was trying to make a standard space shooter, but I just don't know how to continue. Any feedback would help.
