A small toy-like game about drawing with a circle that rotates around you when you move

I made this in 30 minutes

If anyone's interested in having some voice acting done for their games, let me know and I can likely do a little somethin' somethin' for ya.

I've been doing more of that lately for my own game projects - with my own equipment at home - and find it incredibly fun and creative. If you think your project could be helped with that sort of thing, keep me in mind and send me a message.

MERRY KLIKMAS LET-OFF-STUDIOS

Thanks so much for organizing klikmas every year, it's my favorite event in the whole wide world!!!

DODO and PENGUIN have teamed up to take over the skies.
PENGUIN has become immune to explosions, and DODO is going
to shoot him with a bazooka gun. Avoid the spikes and lazers, and
collect coins!!

Click to shoot a rocket at PENGUIN to blast him up.
Press "F" to toggle fullscreen (when on the game screen)

TIPS:
* Your combo meter increases the number of points you get. If you take damage it resets to zero.
* The combo meter resets to zero if you take damage or go too long without increasing it.
* Graze spikes by moving penguin close to them to gain combo points.

Just saw this notice for the Bad Box Art Jam over at gamejolt. March 25th - 27th.

http://jams.gamejolt.io/badboxart/gallery-of-trash

48 hours seems like WAAAAY too much time to put a game together. But the game boxes they chose for the jam are pretty outrageous. I'd say it's well worth a look.

I'm off work that weekend so I will see if I can make a game for each of the box arts they have in their Gallery...

I heard that coming up was the Four4th year Anniversary of membership, on our Shameful Trainful's Glorious Redemption web platform here, for fellow Danni! I decided a set of levels made in Chip's Challenge would be a fitting double tribute (both for their prolonged membership, and in commeration of Chippy the Chipper Beaver (CHIP In Peace!)).

Be prepared for the following information on the game, which I retrieved from myself at 8:04 pm under dire circumstances (a bit hungry).

This level set is intended for the TileWorld player program process, with the usual instructions attached: put the 'dac' file into the 'sets' folder and the 'dat' file into the 'dat'a folder! It's cake from there.

The game 'features'* four 'levels'** which are fully 'playable'***, even if you can not be able to complete them! Who knows what mystic secrets await to be unveiled to be able to progress to the next level if you find the current one of four two furstrating to be able to be completed, but it is known that to be able to start this process you must press the 'G' key on your keyboard, which is located between A and Z in the alphabet.

Level one / 4 features monsters that will never ever kill you, as well as many blocks. No tile is 'unturned' in this stunning process of linear movement! Hot tips: Go down once and up again to destroy your chances at surviving, but you can also trap one of those dang teeth in the cage it BELONGS in. 2) If you don't think you can use a tile, walk on it anyways. You NEVER know what will happen.... unless you look in the level editor, you naughty hacker!

Level 2 out of four teen features a tank-like maze enviroment, which is followed up by an even more challenging (!) maze-tank like enviroment! Some tips here: you never have to try to cross a tile a tank crosses until the second half is unlocked; there are multiple ways to get to the goal; and firstly, everything is reachable :)

Level 3 * 444 includes a wide open area, but with a challenge.... can YOU be hit by every fireball, and survive? (no). The secondary goal is to get to the exit... which requites ALL four keys!! Can you believe that? (yes). Spicy sauces: teriyaki sauce, chili salsa, this level is kind of a mess sorry about that but it should be amusing, garlic three chile jam, just take things slow and you should be ok, Taco Bell Taco Sauce.

Level $4 [full refund available]| presents you with an easy to reach exit... or is it??? In this fun filled adventure, you will visit many areas: Skater Park, Speed Lanes, Sinking Ground, Saucer Circle, teleporterS A plenty. the ultimate penultimate in level design!! Traders Inside Reccomend: buy low, sell high, stay inside your box to be destroyed, there are many secrets to be found by a full exploration of the upper bounds, capitalism is an inherently broken system that can not sustain itself for much longer.

Leveled 5: Doesn't Exist, same with any thing after this. :)

thanks for reading, and thanks twice (two times the thanks + the first thanks for reading = THREE THANKS! thranks) for playing my levels set.

* According to insider sources

** See above

*** Actually this word is true

I was stressed and bored today, so I made a little Knytt level. Note that it requires egomassive's Knytt Stories Plus extension to play. It's simply a very short, open-ended level that you can destress with. Enjoy!

STOCKRUE_FINAL.zip

All was quiet, thanks to your diet.
But in the middle of the night,
suddenly you had a fright!
The sleigh bells were ringing,
but the fireplace was not singing.
What could it be, but the Chistmas set free?

TWO WAYS TO PLAY! 2) Run the Old School For Schools Edition in the zip file to play it- assuming you are on a computer that can understand such old dog tricks! Z) open "STOCKRUEHTML5.html" to the web browser to play the STOCKRUE: DAWN OF CHISTMAS [PRO EDITION]! Features: real time sound play, advanced music orchestration, and a suspicious lack of candy canes.

Let the story commence...

They all know about the season for the gift aquiring (all 128 days of it) - but do they know the plights of the gift wranglers? Only CANDELBRA CANNY can give a glimpse into the unglimpsed world of gift wrapping in the tertiary Northwest Pole - where reporters and camera holders are loathe to bother trekking towards. Plus, the frigid DR. PENG (short for DREADFUL PENG) - controls the placement of en-dashes as well as the distribution of gifts...

+-+-+-+-+-+
|G|I|F|T|S|

Wrap, rip, plant, send, open, enjoy. The process of gifting. But mysteries lie beneath this surface of seeming simplicity... And who can say what they are? All the people know is that they order their gifts during their given 128 days, and on the dawn of Chistmas they find them under their festive plum pile! Nobody can be displeased at this situation, for signs of displeasure might mean you find your teeth getting inside only coal as you bite into your plump plum pie.

But what is in a gift? The real question is what CAN'T be, and lies is what. Only the truth can be found inside a gift - and all the truth is found inside gifts. Be careful what you wish for, because you certainly will get it, like it or not. If you inquire too much into what goes into getting you the truth, maybe this Chistmas in your gift you'll find... yourself!

Before you continue, did you know? There are only 128 gifts available. One for each day of Chistmas. It would be wrong for there to be more.

Clearly, the penguins don't do the work around here. They just make sure it happens. Nobody knows how, but it is likely that the penguins keep it this way. Some say that we are just creating a mass projection conciousness towards the penguins and our psychic bonds and need to believe in something (anything) so badly have created an otherworldly force - or farce. Some people also say the moon is made out of penguins and that they will come down to collect for their loan to us, in the only way they know how: through the beak.

Whatever horse you hold on to to get a pick of your precious plums, the penguins are here and they are part of Chistmas. Trying to challenege this is an affront to the well-meaning Chistmas spirit inside every penguin - and maybe every person too!

Hold on, did that penguin just say something to CANDELBRA CANNY? Or - to you? Does the difference really matter?

A giant statue of their head commemorates their existance. Sometimes penguins seem to dance to it, or possibly mock it. Nobody knows which DREADFUL PENG would prefer, or if those are even the options and opinions PENG has about their penguin actors/decriers. That about sums up what is understood of PENG's thoughts, actions, rationale: nothing. Sure, there's a press release every now and then, but more than two of them has been covered in turpines (the favourite fish of the penguins of the NorthEast Fifth Pole Sub-Sector 49: AlphaAelphElf - coincidentally the vacation resort of PENG!). It can be deduced from this simple fact, quite undeniable really, that DREADFUL PENG has not ever written a word we have thought to be from their hand! Rather, they dictate their messages to the outside world through the medium of penguin pennship. Read between the lines, do the math, circle the x's, dot the q's, and think for yourself for once. Don't you see how - ridiculous this is? And we let DREADFUL PENG run amok - unchecked - with - so - much power over - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Take over their role, the flame of the spirit of Chistmas. It is up to them (you!) to contain the unruly gifts, as DR. PENG unleashes them into the world (as far as the 3rd NW Pole is the world). It is up to their abilities - namely, demanding more rights (recieved in the form of more gifts to wrap mostly), transmogrifying the self (but not the spirit) into a candy cane with nice blue highlights, as well as summoning another CANNY from another timeline (when the boss DR. PENG is not looking). CANNY is likely the only living gift wrapper today, so they have a lot of work cut out for them!

Thankfully you are on the scene now. Help guide CANDELBRA CANNY with the ARROW KEYS and the SHIFT KEYS towards the gifts to bring forth more into the world. When two gifts collide, they will become happy together and be able to be sent out to a union of plums (which they will place themselves under to be discovered on the dawn of Chistmas). Gifts cannot be happy by themselves... and yet the icy DR. PENG refuses to make things simple for you! Thankfully, by aligning yourself with a gift you will have a platform for CANNY to demand another gift to be brought into their ice world. Congratulations on your socialist progess! Don't forget to try to recruit more workers to join your growing Union - by demolishing every gift (through the art of wrapping or noise) known to reason. But DR. PENG always has more more for you to wrap up...

Penguins roam the gardens in the distance, restricted access to visitors. Not that there have been any since... about 576 Chistmas times past. There were penguins here before anything else, and eventually everything will be only pengins. Nothing but penguins, and just the penguins. Even DR. PENG must face that they will be overrun by their farm of penguins sooner or later. The penguins say they hold many mysteries, past and passed down their descendents for spans of time that cannot be understood by any mortal. But on top of the other flipper, nobody can communicate with the penguins, and it is rumoured that even the self-proclaimed/named & cool cat DR. - PENG is unable to do so! So how can we know for sure that we have any thing about them written down that is true, in the slightest? Absolutely not.

But there's more to the NW3P than the penguins that cover every possible inch visible from the sky, or even space. Those gifts have to be wrapped up somewhere - all 128 of them! Who better to do it, than the penguins? Oh! But of course, they are all in managerial positions. Such is deserved of their old nature. We all know every thing capable of true thought naturally leads to an agressive, nasty, brutish, capitalist society.

0-1: How did you even wrap this few? How is that possible?
2-10: The ROYAL APPLE FAMILY will be glad to have your gifts. Nobody else is getting any.
12-40: Pretty good, but DR. PENG has made off with most of the GIFTS for himself and his penguin collection!
42-70: Great work! But not great enough! Your pay is being demarked 55% (on top of the 65% paycut for working overtime on holiday hours).
72-100: You're awesome! But not awesome enough! Your pay is being demarked 45% (on top of the 75% paycut for failing an attempt of success).
102-126: Please, don't talk to me. You clearly have aptitude, but you are not enough. Your replacement will be here soon.
128-128: Right on! You did it! You got it, CANNY! How.... - uncanned of you. Yes. How dare you presume you could make it this far... You must do better than that to truly appease such as me.
130+: You got more GIFTS than there were in the whole world in the first place! How did you do that? Why did you do that?? Why have you brought a collapse on the future of the universe upon us with your tampering?

I've just signed up for Glorious Trainwrecks because I feel like maybe I should actually make video games instead of just saying I'm going to. Hello!

I sat down today with no ideas and no clue as to what Klik and Play can do (because I'd never used it before) and came away with SPACE BURGLARS, a game about protecting your stolen nazi gold from swarms of burglars that want it back. It's probably not very good!

I have a much much better idea of what I can do with this thing now, so I think next month my project should be a lot better! Hopefully!

I'm also going to be starting work on a for serious independent game at some point in the near future (possibly starting it for January's VIDEO GAME BAKEDOWN), and maybe I'll post about it here because since it's one of my first real efforts at making a full game it will probably wind up being terrible!

I've done some development stuff in the past, but it was all modification work. I made a couple models for a Half-Life mod called Science and Industry (not the textures though, just the meshes, UV Mapping, and animations), and I made a mutator for UT2k4 called TeamRadar that added your team to the minimap in Onslaught as well as a bunch of other stuff(It wound up garnering an honorable mention in the Make Something Unreal competition, but I think if you entered you got an honorable mention) and a UT2k4 gametype that was a clone of Rocket vs. Rail.

So yeah, hi.
