MERRY CHISTMAS SNAPMAN

ExciteMike — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 23:59:08 +0000

Secret Santa game for snapman!!!

Tried to satisfy his wishlist: Combining KNP art and custom art, and telling a story using that style.

My one playtester did not notice the text and thus did not catch the story :/

PurpBot

ExciteMike — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 04:23:07 +0000

A collecty avoidy highscorey game. This time trying out 8-way movement. Not into those controls.

I forgot to make it Christmassy.

The gray is just an indicator of time left. It is not actually the Advancing Wall of Doom it might look like.

Here's a Flash version:

LASEBEEM

ExciteMike — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 02:03:34 +0000

I like the terrible controls, but I'm not at all happy with the game made around them. Oh well.

Bad Bike Ride

ExciteMike — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 04:12:25 +0000

No win state. No fail state. You can keep on keeping on or you can stop.

I went to a funeral today.

Mmengsnil

Game made for the Kickstarter reward game idea "Lemmings, only if there are survivors at the end of the course, you lose"

My Lil Baloney

ExciteMike — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:16:55 +0000

Game made for a Kickstarter reward! The game idea was "A game about Bronies, but with explosions and stuff. Include Derpy Hooves. :)".

Ended up with more balonies than bronies. oops.

Punch Monkeys

ExciteMike — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:33:47 +0000

Game for the Kickstarter idea "Punching Monkeys".

Super Redneck Stacker

ExciteMike — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:00:22 +0000

Submitted on behalf of Farmergnome, who was having some difficulties with the submission form (some kind of "bad request error").

ROM CHECK FAIL WITHOUT A CAUSE

ExciteMike — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 02:04:08 +0000

Uses the source code to the glorious ROM CHECK FAIL made by the wonderful Farbs and riffs on Pac-Man Without a Cause by Sergio Cornaga.

Voluntary Servitude

ExciteMike — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:12:49 +0000

gratuitously inaccessible
Based on Jane McGonigal's book but not in such a way that you could ever tell.

Flash version added:

Liquid Crystal Crocodile

ExciteMike — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 23:12:47 +0000

Trying out making something like the Donkey Kong Jr. LCD game.

all we are is dust in the wind

SKYMAN

ExciteMike — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:08:40 +0000

Borrowing ideas from Terry's game Sine Wave Ninja, only with mouse controls now.

I don't tend to be very good at video games, but for me 250 is better than most attempts, 450 is woo yays, and 555 is my personal best so far.

Raccoon Wings

ExciteMike — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:14:12 +0000

Two players!
Player 1 moves with A and D and jumps/hovers by pressing W. Player 2 uses the arrow keys. Stomp your opponent and move to the next screen (right for player 1, left for player 2). Reach the far side to win!

Oh hey! I can embed stuff right here can't I?

In my head this is a mash-up of ideas from Joust/Super Mario War, Mighty Bomb Jack, Kirby games, and Nidhogg, with graphics ripped off of Super Mario Bros. 3. But you could also say it is basically thumb wrestling. With levels. And one player has to win 7 more times than the other before the game actually ends.

I went waaaaaaaaaaaay over two hours. I've probably spent about 16 on it :/ It got to a point where the tweaks I would want to make would require me doing them in each of 15 or 16 frames, so I think I'm going to just call it done now. I haven't actually played with another human, so it might be (read: probably is) complete garbage.

Ax Relax

ExciteMike — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 01:22:33 +0000

axes. juggler. Bob Marley midi.

Flash version
TGF version in case you can't run 16-bit exes

Rapture? I Hardly Know Her!

ExciteMike — Sun, 22 May 2011 05:26:29 +0000

Yet another snakey avoidey game from me. Came out playing rather differently from the others, and is pretty fun, I think.

No intentional religious metaphors, but such things are easy to find anyway if you look.

Game rules:

arrow keys to steer
touch the angry-looking guys and you lose
earn points by being near the bluish and greenish guys
they go faster once they've been near you
like-color guys bounce off each other
different-colored guys will annihilate each other if they touch
game speeds up over time
the higher your score, the faster guys spawn
herd them around, trying to keep lots of them alive and stay near them so you get points faster!

The various versions:

MATWOGA

ExciteMike — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 01:24:43 +0000

My third attempt tonight at a massively two-player game. Better than the other two.

Pushy Elephant

ExciteMike — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 02:08:27 +0000

Made a game a day early! Birthday hijinx may prevent participation tomorrow.

2 players!
Make your opponent get in the scorpion's way!

Scorpions are bouncy, right? Like super balls with stingers. I'm sure I read that on Wikipedia or somewhere.

Jet Joust Interrupted Mostly Playable Version

ExciteMike — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 10:04:32 +0000

Airplanes! Giant Lances! Air Jousting!

Pretty bugly. As in scoring is completely bonkers.

gameplay is there though, just untweaked.

needs a "so-and-so wins" screen too. right now it just restarts.

Plane Train

ExciteMike — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 07:18:33 +0000

I made a game on the plane ride out to San Francisco for GDC! Actually my laptop battery gave out, but I did get it playable on the plane and now I've finished it up in the hotel.

It's up on Newgrounds, too!

Super Tree Run

ExciteMike — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:55:35 +0000

UPDATE:
* Flash version over here: PLAY IN BROWSER.
* TGF version for if your computer can't do 16-bit exes. DOWNLOAD TGF VERSION

If you've played much ExciteTruck, then you know what this is all about.

Use the arrow keys to steer, accelerate and brake. Drive close to trees, but don't run into them!
(That circle marks where trees count for points)

Wouldn't have chosen that music if I hadn't seen this: http://twitter.com/#!/RaveofRavendale/statuses/39116316824576000
But it's perfect!

IS THIS A STEGOSAURUS

ExciteMike — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 01:48:01 +0000

Know your dinosaurs.

I stopped the game I was making when I saw the COMPLETELY INTOLERABLE mislabeling in KNP. So you get an even-more-inane-than-usual game from me this month.

The Joy of Dodging 4

ExciteMike — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 02:54:44 +0000

The latest game in the Joy of Dodging series.
5 levels in all.
Kind of hard.

There is also a Flash version.

flOw Championship Edition

ExciteMike — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 20:49:58 +0000

My high score so far is 223.

About as funny as screen door on a battleship.

small and bouncing

ExciteMike — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:09:26 +0000

I may have been too tired to be making games.

Converted to Flash and slightly improved over here: http://excitemike.com/Small_and_Bouncing

Art Can Never Be Games

ExciteMike — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:29:07 +0000

It really didn't deserve a response, but this game is a reaction to this.

It is very text heavy. I am sorry.
