Nobody Shooter

What? A small Demake of the first level of 'Everyday Shooter' in Game Boy style. Gameplay: Short, nervous area shooter action. Arcade: It's mainly about making highscore. Features generative chiptune sounds, but no real music yet (my skills are too limited here, sorry, i'm still learning...) Play? Use the ARROW keys to move and the W-S-A-D keys to shoot. Try to collect as many points as you can. You can move the window by grabbing it with the mouse on the upper border. Tech? OS: Windows XP (not sure if it works under Vista, please let me know). Graphics: Standard OpenGL (emulated 160x144x4). Audio: DirectSound (emulated 4bit/11025Hz). Net: Has a net highscore again (gimmick: the table deletes itself automatically every month). CPU: CAUTION: Requires a rather new computer (>1.5GHz?), it's completely unoptimized code. Bugs? In rare cases, after several tests, my system suddenly freezed when i quitted the game... please let me know if you encounter similar problems. CAUTION: Save all open files before playing my game! Misc? This is my second (almost) finished game. I try to teach myself some stuffs right now, but i'm still on the lowest level though... Nice to have these compos! Deadlines are such good thing to have

Enjoy!




If the other download fails, here the game as attachment...

Misc?

• This is my second (almost) finished game. I try to teach myself some stuffs right now, but i'm still on the lowest level though...

 

You mean ZicZac was your first game ever? Wow. Now I feel all... inadequate.

[0rel]

hey Gainsworthy!
...you know, i started coding quite a long time ago and made some tools, basic experients with graphics/sound and stuff, but never games... - but now i really want to make some! i always wanted to, but was probably always too cautious to admit it

[Dugan]

i tried to dload , and its 0 kb

[0rel]

 i've added it as attachment, just in case the download fails again...

[Dugan]

hmm - sorry still 0kb. Could you zip it perhaps? (maybe its a firewall thing)

[0rel]

updated...
the attachment is now a zip file.
hope it works,
but please don't expect too much, it's just a very very small shooter...

[Gainsworthy]

Ah, a coder, but not a game-maker. Righteo. Makes a little more sense  .

You seem to have a knack for making games- this is similarly brilliant to ZicZac. Particularly difficult and twitchy, but it has a real sense of weight and speed to it - which is, in my opinion, critical in a shooter. So, yeah, feels good, looks awesome and distinct, and has a nice sense of reward in the challenge. Short, but well de-made! Though, you do have some good source material. Nobody Shooter is an nice choice of name, too.

Also, why do you always put down your music? I feel the "generative chippy stuff" works very nicely with the feel of your games.


Oh, and finally, just figured out that your name is Zero-Relative! I always read it as "Oh-Rell." Though, I still will. I'm still trying to figure out the numbers plastered all over your site.

[Dugan]

yeah that worked - ta! fun game, more levels please 

1376 best score so far...

Hey, this is fun. It also works under Win2k, BTW. And I like the sound/music.

One complaint I have is that the things you are supposed to pick up look too similar to the bullets which will hurt you if you don't pay attention, so it's sometimes confusing.

[Blueberry]

Gosh, this is hard.
I finally beat it on my #10+ try. Have struggled so hard it was very comforting to find that it said 'Very Good" in flashing text. All games should do that.

The simulated Gameboy pixels were gorgeous, but I thought playfield was too cluttred and that gameplay suffered from that.

I feel happy after playing your game!

[ExciteMike]

NICE! 
For some reason I kept thinking the points were shots I had to avoid, even though I still play Everyday Shooter.  My only complaint is that it would be even better if my gamepad worked with it.
