Hi all!
Soo basically I'm using this competition as motivation to actually finish a game for once in my life. That means my game is going to be super-simple. I have been looking around at all the other game posts, and your guys' games are way more awesome than I can muster
. But I've gotta start somewhere, eh?
Okay, so I ended up hating my old idea. AND THUS WAS BORN chu chu snake. Which is chu chu rocket mixed with those snake games.
Here is a build:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15705884/Chu%20Chu%20Snake.exeProblem is I'm not sure how to make it multiplayer yet. Either the second player is another snake and they each try to funnel the... blue creatures into their respective "pots", or the second player is something else and tries to kill the blue things and then they switch places and highest score wins. But oh god there's not much time left and I've still gotta add sounds and some collision stuff and put in a scoring system and *hyperventilates*. So it may just be the 2 snakes thing, since that would be easiest.

In that spirit, my game is basically pong. Everybody (2 - 4 players? undecided) is on the bottom of the screen, and the ball moves parabolically. Each time a player hits the ball, it changes to the color of another player, and that player must then hit the ball before it touches the ground, and then it changes to another color and so on. As the game progresses, more balls are added in, increasing the chaos. I'm not so sure on win conditions at this point, maybe a set time limit, with points gained by bouncing the ball into floating objects, and points lost by missing? We'll see.
I've got a very basic 1-player build with just the bouncies made up for right now, and my goodness I loves me some game maker. If you squint, you can pretend it has real art in it!
