I've had bit of a Knytter's block on several large projects over the past few weeks, so I decided to work it out by making some small, teeny-tiny levels, like Tree House. Anyway, I used silhouettes with this one because I liked the look of it. It's not pure black and white, though.
So I wasn't 100% happy with my KotMK entry, so I updated it...
now the invaders stay upright, and oriented towards the "player", and they have grey outlines, and the "chase cursor" is a bit different... now x+y axis is changed when you move the mouse, and x+z when you move the mouse with the button held down. Plus the chase box is a white box rather than a red dot
again, more of a toy than a game....
Once, very long ago, in a copse of pretty little trees by a pleasant little stream, there lived a young fox by the name of ARGLEBARGLE. ARGLEBARGLE was not sly or clever like his fox brothers. ARGLEBARGLE mostly just wanted to bite things. ARGLEBARGLE's brothers would often chat up tasty-looking passers-by, luring them with their cunning into highly compromising and edible states. ARGLEBARGLE was not so keen on that. He mostly did okay anyway, though.
Then one beautiful fall afternoon, ARGLEBARGLE was killed by a hound. THE END
Here is something I made a while ago -- completely forgot about it until this weekend. I submitted it to KNP Korner, but it never went up.
So there's this ongoing Knytt Stories level competition thing over at Nifflas Forums. One comp in particular requires that at least one tile from a tileset (A Beach and A Cave) be on every screen. I decided to make a level for it, despite not being a member of the Nifflas Forums.
Anyway, here is the level! It is one of those levels where you just wander around without much to challenge you in particular, although there is a challenge corner tucked away in here. There are 5 endings, most of which I wish I had done better. I like to think of this as a love letter to summer, kinda. Hope you enjoy it!
I was going to make this my Ludum Dare entry, and then I realised that they didn't let you use Klipart and I couldn't enter it there and I didn't want to redo all the art of my game so I decided to upload it here. It's a game about a pirate who visits the Islands of Confusion and has adventures there. It's a single-screen platformer, which I also happen to make a lot of. I need to stop making the same game over and over again.
Arrow keys and shift to move. Enjoy.
Ode to Zone Runner. With ooouuuttttliiiinneees. And bad animation. Also uses slightly irritating/unfitting stock samples from the TGF libraries. Just like the original!
I started this for the KotM #33, but didn't get finished. So I decided to go over the two hour period to bring you this.
There are ten levels in total: nine normal levels, and one boss(!!!) level. Most of the stages are designed to be quite daunting, and they also poke fun at some of the design flaws and eccentricities in the Zone Runner games. You get unlimited lives since some stages are a bit... unfair.
Made in MMF2. Needs DirectX 8 hardware acceleration to run. And 1280x800 resolution or higher.
Don't worry, Circy. You're still an awesome guy.
Have been itching to enter a competition lately... was on an international flight during the klik-of-the-month, so I went searching for an alternative. Drunken Coders (.com) was hosting their 2009 winter nintendo ds programming competition with a deadline of march 19th. Sounded good to me!
So in what limited time I could find to code, I threw together this little puzzle game.
It is pretty silly and was a real rushed job, so I thought I would share it here on glorious trainwrecks (though I'm not sure it's glorious enough, hee hee)
Hope you enjoy...

Recently Arthur "Podunkian" Lee posted some vitriol against your friend and mine, Terry Cavanagh. http://www.pigscene.com/?p=462
He made an assholish parody game of V^6, so naturally I made a game in response. Shit got serious. (Has a few in-jokes for the TIG's crowd.)
EDIT: You know I love you, right?
