Oldschool! haha! Nice job!

cheshyr 2013-04-30 02:12

Holy Nostalgia. Well done.

umu 2013-04-30 02:13

That is really faithful! I appreciate how much care you put into getting the feel of those games down.

Much like those old LCD games...
I have no idea what the difference is between the two game modes.

I got 1600 points without getting hit... does it end at some point or does it go on forever? The sounds are just perfect for it!

moomoo112 2013-04-30 02:24

@nintendoeats: game 2 starts off quicker and the planes are more likely to shoot and change lanes

@dietrich: nope, just a never ending arcade game

mystify 2013-04-30 03:14

I like the tile as the plane shifts lanes, nice touch

ahm99 2013-04-30 03:21

Cool game. Really liked the old-ness. Good job

richtx 2013-04-30 04:02

Really enjoyed this one, even if exploding planes can shoot at me :). Fantastic!

phocker 2013-04-30 05:01

wow -- what a creative idea -- it would have been nice to save me the horror of pressing the buttons but i will let it pass because it was so cool -- great effort

metadept 2013-04-30 05:06

Makes me want this as a handheld version! I like the mix of keyboard + virtual hardware buttons controls, and the grayscale LCD. Well done!

I did notice at one point in Game 2 I managed to get an exploding plane stuck at the far right bottom enemy slot. Not quite sure what specific action caused it other than shooting at point blank.

moomoo112 2013-04-30 05:21

So glad to hear this style is welled liked, thanks for playing!

@metadept: I'd like to know what causes that too, just one of the smaller bugs that didn't get fixed, along with if you die while an enemy is changing lanes they'll get stuck there

Wonderful! Really captures the feel of those old games. The sound, the embedded graphics. Perfect! Not particularly challenging, but certainly a winner.

darkhunter 2013-04-30 08:10

I really like the idea of this type old games. It is perfect match on the theme!

fishbrain 2013-04-30 08:22

Nice retro work!

cloudiestnights 2013-04-30 23:32

Graphics and audio were perfect! I used to remember being addicted to one of these games wayyy back. Good job on recreating that!

timtimtimtim 2013-05-01 03:31

cool fun theme. good job

invaderjim 2013-05-01 03:36

This is great! I demand an android/iOS port, and then I demand more games from you in this style. Get to work! ;D

robcozzens 2013-05-01 05:14

Ah yeah. I remember having games like this.
Thank you!

gmaker 2013-05-01 11:56

cute! _)

paulsinnett 2013-05-02 00:27

Was there any sound? I clicked the sound button, but I couldn't hear anything.

justinmullin 2013-05-02 01:50

I've never seen anyone do this before, and now I'm wondering why. It's genius!

ecool377 2013-05-02 01:59

Very fun! I liked it alot even the lack of audio. 4/5 stars

moomoo112 2013-05-02 02:32

@PaulSinnett: there should be sound effects, like moving and shooting, no musics though

Thanks for the feedback!

whilefun 2013-05-02 03:02

High score for me was 225! I thought this was very original, and pretty neat. I don't know if it was intentional, but the audio was coming from the rear channels. It was effective though as they made the game have a bit more aural depth.

stefenism 2013-05-02 05:01

GOOD SHOW!

tehskull 2013-05-02 05:42

Very arcadey and fun. I want to play this on a GameBoy Pocket.

bernhard 2013-05-02 05:43

Captures the look and feel of a Game&Watch game very well. Cool idea for this theme! Got 2640 Points in Mode 1 and I think I made the game crash in Mode 2 by shooting too much :-)

somenetworkguy 2013-05-02 06:55

Very clever idea! Brings back memories of some of those kind of old hand held LCD games I had as a kid. Nice work.

ithildin 2013-05-02 08:42

Nice! I had one of those as a child, you've portrayed them very accurately =)

manabreak 2013-05-02 09:21

Fun way to go :)

michaelhaii 2013-05-03 06:01

Very well done old school feel

lightnarcissus 2013-05-03 12:44

Interesting game that goes both well with the theme and evokes nostalgia. Nice effort!

paulsinnett 2013-05-03 23:31

Curious, still no sound for me. My Java must be misconfigured somehow. :(

coffeeonimal 2013-05-07 05:11

Very nice.

dertom 2013-05-08 07:58

Great! Just great! I brings back old times and hits the theme with a 100% punch! Nicely done"
I have a "Mario Bros" game&watch just holding in my hands and wonder where the corresponding batteries are hidden :D
Good job!

rafaelsales 2013-05-08 21:04

Cool game. The purpose of an old school experience is interesting, but a better interface could improve the quality. Congrats anyway! Keep making games!

moomoo112 2013-05-08 23:46

#rafael: interface like the onscreen buttons? 'cause those didn't turn out too well as I ran out of time..

minionstudios 2013-05-14 01:28

back to the originals!

kunonooni 2013-05-20 01:43

Nothing says minimal like Game and Watch! Good job!

frogmaster 2013-05-20 11:37

Wohoho, that's nostalgic! Game A is a bit boring and in game B dead planes sometimes stay in the place and You can't shoot through them. Anyway, I'm impressed :)
