Wrist Lock!!!

itch2.png

A "local multiplayer mouse-based tug of war platform fighter." I've typed this phrase approximately 3000 times. I've typed the explanation for what that means 3000 more. This is my fault for making such a high concept video game.

You and your opponent stand or sit across from one another. The mouse is in between you. You each place a hand on your side of the mouse. When the game begins, the goomba-like monster is mouse controlled. Try to move it towards your lumberjack to get them to jump on it. If they do, THEY become mouse controlled and you now must move your lumberjack towards your opponent's lumberjack to bounce off of them and reduce their lives to zero.

It's also possible to win by reducing your opponent's OUCH meter to zero. Do this by getting them to land in the same place the just-jumped-on monster sits dazed.

Thirdly, the monster will "explode" when the timer runs out in a timed match. Anybody standing nearby will immediately have their lives reduced to zero (even if their life bar is set to infinite! Yow!). By "anybody" I mean "anybody who exists inside of the game." You, the player, should be safe.

I made the game customizable so you could theoretically do a "ouch drain only" match or a "countdown to destruction" match where you try to get the opponent exploded when the timer hits zero.

Not everybody is able or willing to use the mouse so you can also use the keyboard keys or the left thumbstick on an Xbox controller.

I think this is a pretty fun little bite-sized party game (ANOTHER genre???) and I hope you have fun with it too!

Attached is a .gif to give a better idea of how the game plays.

All Hail The Beetle - Don't Jostle That Jewel!

gamescreenshot.png

A small game that allows you to test your skills as a master burglar.

Another experiment in mouse control, or lack thereof, the idea is to pick up your computer's mouse and then put it back down without causing the beetle to move. If you fail, an alarm sounds, the screen shakes and a counter depletes until you put the beetle back where it belongs.

Apologies in advance for the "flavor" of this one being a little bare-bones.

Typing this sentence so I can have a line that doesn't begin with the letter A.

Also (argh!) I've included the source but it contains very few comments!

Bileview

screenshot.png

A game... or vignette? I have no idea. Where the game window (I guess it's a game now) becomes a small picture frame that can be moved around with the mouse. And as you move the picture frame around the screen, you will find a MONSTER that is trembling in fear at something accompanied by a cry. Or is the sound effect a taunt? Who knows???????????

Made in a day for the inaugural Nobody Except Me Knew I Was Making This But I Needed To Capture The Idea Before It Faded jam.

Bileview was created in Clickteam Fusion 2.5. Art was drawn in GraphicsGale/Microsoft Paint and sound effects were recorded in Audacity.

I've uploaded a new .zip that now contains the source for anybody who's interested in exploring a similar mechanic! I removed the sprites and audio from it, though, to preserve some of the sense of discovery in the game. It requires the Mouse object and Window Control object.

Prehistoric Dungeon Family is a game where if you choose to be part of the family they take care of you as one of their own. I know this sounds like some organized crime game but it's really not, it's just about family ties and importance and friendship and all that sort of stuff, so relax, enjoy, and absorb the chemicals that are in family.

I also converted it to TGF2 so there's a flash version too http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/603702

Not A Puzzle Platformer: Levels 1 and 2

n-a-p-p-1.png

I'm of the opinion that, among many indie game puzzle platformers, the "platformer" part really doesn't add very much to the "puzzle" part, especially ones which are clearly imitative of Portal. While Portal was ostensibly a "3D platformer", that doesn't necessarily mean that its puzzles or puzzle design clarity naturally degrades down to a 2D platformer. Too much focus is given on the length-height plane of Portal's puzzles, and, I feel, not enough on the length-width plane. So, in that vein, here are the first two levels of a game that is not a puzzle platformer.

WASD - Move.
Mouse - Aim.
Left click - Teleport.
R - Restart.
Reach the staircase to escape.

As it turns out it took ages to implement the special blocks' mechanics, so you only get 2 levels for now. Maybe in the future more will come forth.

The main inspiration for this was probably Epsilon, a somewhat drearily-coloured Portal-inspired puzzle game that is, strictly speaking, not a platformer either.

(Note: This may seem like I'm especially talking about the recent indie release "Gateways" but I haven't actually played that game outside of the first minute of the demo.)

Jazz Blocks

JazzBlocks.png

This game has nothing to do with jazz. Rather, it was inspired by the old "JezzBall" and "Maxwell's Maniac" games from the Microsoft Entertainment Pack.

Guide the bouncing ball so it rolls over all the coins. Once all the coins have been collected, the exit opens up. Bring the ball to the exit to progress to the next level.

You can drag the blue squares with the mouse. They are useful for guiding the ball toward or away from different areas. You can even use them to completely block off certain areas. Brown squares disappear when the ball hits them. Don't let the ball hit the spikes.

Download includes source .mfa.
