Zakalwe - Forrest

[Zakalwe]

So... I really wanted to participate in this contest, but now it starts to look like that for the next month I actually have to do work at my work.
That means: no time for creating games, unfortunately :(

So I thought that for this contest I'd then take an older game of mine (made this in May...so it's actually not that old) and brush it up a bit.
You can see the original version still at my site, the one I submit now has just some slight improvements in code, high scores and a smaller size (to fit inside the 640x480 limit).

...I hope to find still some time to put together another entry before the deadline! :)

so cool! Kinda slow for me but still great. I don't understand the point of the right or left hand thing. 9/10!

[evolution]

I like it, the whole idea of either hand is really cool. The only thing is that the rocks are thrown way way way...to slow. Other then that a really good game.

[Zakalwe]

Yeah, I know, the slowness is a problem. I used too much tweening and not enough AS.

The idea behind the left-right-hand-thingy is that when there are several hunters right close to each other at the same time, you can throw a rock at the other one from the right and at the other one from the left.

It gets practical towards the end when there are more hunters at the same time of the screen... If you try to throw two rocks towards two different hunters, they end up both hitting the same hunter. So to make sure that both of the hunters get hit, you throw a rock from the left and another from the right. It's also useful when trying to hit the guys that scroll by. When they're going to left, it's easier to hit them when throwing the rock from the left :)

Edit: @ evolution: Hehe, I made the rocks go that slow on purpose :D

hey the game is quite fun, except that when you shoot at the hunters that shoot at you, if you throw lots of rocks, you can hit them like twenty times, and get lots of points, maybe you should do something about that! Really liked the forest and stuff, very nice!

[Zakalwe]

Yeah, I know that it happens, but I thought that it doesn't matter, since you get only 20 points from them. You would have to hit one of them 20 times just to get the same amount of points as you'd get from hitting once the hunter that scrolls at the back, so it's simply not worth it :)

(besides, while you're throwing rocks at this one hunter, others pop up and shoot you... In the beginning it might be an easy way to score points, but towards the level 4 or 5 you just won't have time to do that)

But... It actually is on my list of bugs to be fixed. :whistle:
