Ransom Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 It looks similar to Countermeasure. And the name "Fail Safe" (or is it "Failsafe") is a term used in Countermeasure for the codes, IIRC. Is that what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 It's actually what would have been 'Countermeasure II', but I was asked to change the name. So, FailSafe it is. Differences between this one and the original 'Countermeasure': - This game is 'destination-based', meaning you need to reach the other end of the level to get one of the hexidecimal numbers for the code - It scrolls left/right instead of up/down. You start on the left and work your way right. You cannot scroll backward. - There are 4 digits in the code, 0-9 and A-F. There are 6 Levels in total, 5 of which give you a random position in the code. - The 6th level has the Missile Silo, and you must get through a minefield to get to it. - If you don't reach the Missile Silo in time, or you cannot guess the launch code in time, the planet explodes, and the game ends. - If you do enter the correct code, the game starts over, but harder - Two new types of enemies, aside from the Pillboxes, Jeeps, and Cruize Missiles found in the original - I want to put 'powerups' in the game, but not sure if I'll have the room. That being said, I would like to give a *HUGE* thanks to jwierer, for writing the level/enemy placement editor that I've been using to develop this. I am having a rough time developing the 5th and 6th levels, so that's where I stand at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be better to have a sense of acomplishment with an end screen before looping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The game does have an end screen and is coming along great - this is going to be a fun sequel and a nice change of gameplay offering for the 7800... Bob has been having some real hurdles to overcome on this game - he nearly threw his hands up at one point, but it is coming along really well and will be a lot of fun to play.

shadow460 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Where do I send payment? Anything Bob designs is gold. He could design a 7800 trojan and it would still be gold. I've purchased several of his games without ever trying them first and I've never been disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursday83 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I agree. Please count me in for a Cart if it happens, I will pay immediately. Nice work Bob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
