Hard as balls to get down from boxes without geeting shot. Music and audio recordings are great!
Pretty good graphics, and I liked the voice acting. It added some extra humor to the game. As for the game itself - quite hard - unforgiving yet quite fun to play. The crazyass music fitted right in!
The baby was pretty cool with the sunglasses and all. I could picture him riding a motorcycle with a shotgun protecting John Connor.
The gravity was a bit weird. But love the art of your game!
It is a bit slow when switching context. Maybe make it possible to skip the transitions would work. Quite nice graphics.
Those guys don't stop shooting at me :/ nice graphics
It's a hard game to play for sure but it made me laugh more than once. I especially enjoyed the various catch phrases when you start. Nice entry.
I can't get it to run. The game closes out immediately. Is there anything I can do to get try to get it run?
@McDonaldsWizard The first thing that comes to mind is that you may have an old version of Java. Update Java on your computer and then try running it again.
HILARIOUS. Loved it. I did find a little glitch, though. If you stand immediately adjacent to something that your bullet will hit, you basically have a machine gun. It'll fire continuously and immediately practically tearing apart those aliens. :P (Also you can stand on their heads. XD )
@Scipio Xaos Very observant, though I kept the rapid firing in the game intentionally and actually designed much of the game around that mechanic. Did you notice the wall of bullets in front of the final boss? That was put there so you wouldn't be able get close enough to use the rapid fire on the boss.
Pretty tough. I like the art style! I'm always amazed at what can be done with Java these days.
It's a fine joke why would we be offended? :) This is OLD school difficulty! And I'm old enough to remember Spectrum ZX games :P
@Christina I just wanted to apologize in advance mostly because smoking is a touchy subject and a baby smoking a cigarette is pretty messed up if you think about it too hard.
i got to the boss and beat it, but i think he may have been broken. his shots were coming from the very top of the screen, forming a wall in front of him. i just stood a space away and fired away until he died. the movement is pretty stiff, and i'm not sure how it related to the theme, but not a bad attempt over all. good job, man.
Really like the art. It's definitely eye catching. When I saw the screenshot in the default section I absolutely had to check this one out. It's a shame this had to be tied down to the 'one life' gimmick. I'd like to see this be just a wee bit more forgiving.
Cute style, nice entry
Very difficult, but good graphics and audio!
Sometimes you can walk in the air and it is very difficult to get down from boxes without dying. Otherwise great game, amazing graphics.
I cant run it on my pc (Win7 i7 latest java version)
Stunning visuals and hilarious recordings. It was almost a pleasure to have to restart because I got to hear a different voice clip.
Gameplay itself was a little lacking, since it is nearly impossible to drop down from the boxes where enemies are. In addition, the final boss was laughably easy compared to the rest of the game.
This is a fun little game and could be expanded out with more love and time. Great work!
With a game as unforgiving as this, I always wish for a brisker pace. I wanted the guy to walk faster, but more than anything I wanted the gameoverrestart loop to be much much shorter. This game inspired keyboard hammering while I waited impatiently.
But otherwise a very nice job, cool graphics and sound and polish. I abused walking on the heads of the enemies to avoid having to jump down from the crate, was that as intended? I had no idea it was possible until I did it by mistake.
Cool smoking baby
Wow! Sound effects, voice over, idle animations, transitions, your game got everything! Very fun :-D
I think you are going to like this video, I hope it gives you some ideas :-)
