I'm not sure why the pictures have artifacts :( Sorry.
Couldn't really work out whats going out or how to score.
Awful gameplay, I can't see the traps so how do I avoid them, why should I have to bash X if I get hurt anyway, why are the flower sin perfect squares, this game is pretty damn bad, sorry to say.
I've add a more detailed description on how to play, and the point of the game. As well as what my idea for the game originally was, this is simply what I got done.
I already know it's crap, it's got some work to be done. Wish I knew how to do tile maps and stuff, would have made everything a lot easier! It's bad, but only for now.
The fun is not there yet and the nothing new with the concept. I didn't mean to bash you or anything. I'd say keep trying and be better!
I like the idea, I can see how this could have gotten a lot more to it with trying to escape from the farmer and such with more time spent on it. Also if you are interested in learning the basics of tiles in flash, I found these tutorials really helpful when I started out http://tbg.tonypa.pri.ee/start.html
I escaped from some traps but died in the end anyways.
It's a lot like life, this game.
@Heck Yep, that is the plan.
@AndyBrown, Thanks for that tutorial! That really helps :D, was looking around for stuff on tiles.
@Dark Acre Jack: Like how unfair it is? :V
I thought the fox graphic was pretty good and there's definitely potential here. The main problem (as someone else pointed out) is that you can't avoid the traps because they're invisible. While playing, it just feels kind of like random chance because of this. Consider making the traps visible but well hidden.
There also appeared to be a bug where after I ransacked all 3 coups and then died, after restarting the game thought that I had won (hooray?) :)
Nice effort given the time constraints. Keep at it!
I've nothing to say that other people haven't already... The gameplay's pretty anti-fun since you can't avoid the traps, there are no sounds and the graphics aren't too good, either (I like the fox and the broken fence, though). It's too bad you didn't have time to put the entire farmer chasing element in, and I kind of sympathize with that since I also wanted to add that to my own game but didn't have time. Oh well, good effort.
