Seaweed Assault

[PFL]

The manual is looking great so far. I'd be tempted to pick up a box and manual in the future.

I thought I remembered seeing Seaweed Assault in the store, unless I'm mistaking it for something else. The cover art looks nice. I'll have to check out youtube for some gameplay footage.

I recorded my game play of seaweed.

And I plan to record all games we play in Atari 2600 HSC

Here's the manual with all of the pages. I still need to do some clean up work, and the pages would need to be reordered if this ever got printed, but the basic gist of it is there.

Very nice! It would be great if the box and manual got made!

I'm definitely down for a box and manual if it ever happens. Your artwork is lovely and I feel really suits the game. Great work bloke.

[Schizophretard]

I would buy both.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that. I just cut and pasted copy from RT's site.

 

Thanks,

Got my printed box proof back from Marc O. Looks great next to the cart. (Sorry for the crappy-quality pics)

Your label and box look fantastic and fit this game very well. Great job!

WOW! I don't know how I missed the box design being added to this thread a few months ago but this might be my favourite box you've designed so far Brian. I honestly can say I've loved every box design you've come up with, something about the style of your artwork just fits perfectly with the homebrew world. Well done you. My Seaweed Assault cart now feels lonely without this box and manual.

That box is really cool

Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you like it!

Great game!

Great game!

 

Thanks. I hope to have a PAL version in the first post some time today if I can get an answer from somebody in the thread below:

 

Is there a way to make Stella automatically run a game as PAL60?

[+Random Terrain]

PAL60 ROM is in the first post:

Thank you very much for coming back to this game RT. I, for one, really appreciate it. It will be on my Harmony within about 3 seconds of hitting the post button for this post.

Seaweed Assault is now available in the AtariAge Store without a box:

I picked this up this week.

 

How has this had nearly 2000 downloads, yet only one review in six years? Anyway, I submitted a review and it is awaiting moderation to appear.

 

For anyone 'on the fence' - short version - this is GREAT.

 

It encapsulates everything I've tried to put in my own games:

- simple to learn

- hard to master

- fun but challenging

- punishing but fair

 

Couple of hours into this and still going. Might need a new thumb soon.

 

Well done to all involved, it is quite obviously clear this was well thought out during design, and tuned to perfection during testing - excellent game!

It was fun helping RT with this. Once I started helping him I play tested with all the free time I had. He impressed me every night. I would tell him about bugs, timing issues, difficulty, bounce ideas off of him, etc. and practically every night after work he would already have a new build with everything we discussed addressed in it for me to test for the next build. I think I still have all of the different versions on my Harmony Cart which is many because he didn't stop pumping them out until neither of us could find anything wrong with them and he couldn't fit any more into the ROM. It was just a blast, RT is brilliant, and I want to have his babies.
