Now the title may have sounded like a striptease of some kind and it is; just not the sexy woman stripping naked type. :p I\'ve made a little game and I\'m lying it -all bare- here for judgement. Tell me what ya think!

Guh... it sux when you work your ass off for something only to have no one reply to your announcement thread. Someone change the thread name to "How Many Can You KILL!?". I\'m turning this into a contest thing to make it a more interesting. The game counts how many drones you\'ve destroyed... when you die, look at the number on the screen and tell us what that was.
How many can you kill before they finally kill you?!

You are all mean, mean people
-
hello :bounce:
-
You are in a forum that people don\'t frequent and you have a non descriptive title....
I got 1.4 million my first try. The score sleared and now it\'s on the start screen so I can\'t tell you much more. It got interesting once they really started raining down.

I kinda implied the content was porn.
Next I\'ll just lie outright.
"XXX hOT WET TEENS WAITING FOR YOU INSIDE!"
:D

I like the explosions. They look pretty nice. You make those with After Effects?
-
nopies.. those are freeware explosions that come with the Game Maker download.

Really well done, a few things tho...
- Space wave is really, really powerfull, you only really need the guns for the first 200 or so.
- Various enemies (boss?) would be cool
- Powerups would be cool.
Still, very enjoyable and addictive.

Ok, with well over 5 million and over 3000 ships killed (in one game) I\'ve discovered a couple of things to fix.
- you can go waaaaay to far off the bottom of the screen :)
- There are \'dead\' zones, at the mid-left and mid-right parts of the screen, where very, very few ships ever hit. At around 1700 ships killed, I pretty much was trapped there, just using the lazer wave time after time. The ships tend to cluster around the middle of the map, they either come in straight, or when they come in at angles, they usually wind up in the middle.
- for infinite score, at the very start, fly up, off the top of the screen... there is a distance up there where you can still lazer-wave, but ships aren\'t spawned yet... I\'m at 4400 ships and counting.... it looks like even the \'dead\' zones I mentioned before are getting hit by enough of the (very few) ships that go there that you couldn\'t survive at all....

Sorry bout the double post, I made a bitmap to make this easier...
*EDIT* didn\'t work.. guess I\'ll go upload it manually.
*EDIT AGAIN*
Here\'s the pic. Since I just realized I didn\'t re-install adobe or any graphics proggy yet, it\'s in bmp...
and it was huge, so I downed it to 16 colors.
Welcome to small-shitty ville, but whaddayagonna do.

PS - My avatar looks cool with 16 colors... :D
I stopped at just over 10 mil, 7k ships... heheh.

Ah the deadzone is a side-effect of a solution to another problem. I didn\'t want ships to spawn in one side only to fly off screen because their diagonal course was going the same way. So I made it so the ships that spawn arround the left can only travel straight down or to the right, and vise versa for the ones that spawn arround the right side.
The "bottom haven" is a side effect of memory management issues. At 100 pixels below the visible screen, I erase any enemy objects that managed to come through. I didn\'t bother to restrict the player object\'s vertical movement because it won\'t be as noticable as the horizontal boundaries - and I thought it\'d be a nice little glitch. :)
Also, if you press H, the enemy\'s loss count goes up. :)
I really don\'t intend to spend any more time on this. I might use the name, the sounds and some code in a future project, but I certainly don\'t plan on extending this particular project any further. But if anyone feels compelled to fix the little niggles, they can do this quite easily - the source file is available for modification, hacking, slashing, having sex with, or whatever.
:)
I guess what I\'m trying to say is - u can make your own games too! So make them!
-
nice title change, btw.
-
i would download it..
but i don\'t wanna..
-
whoopie!!! new score 13956943 and 10581.

i fully endorse this product.. in fact the naked lesbians in nothing other than hold-up Stockings puts this game on a par with the best.

I thought that would add a touch of class. :)
