Finally! Hitting that puny human with my mighty brain tentacle was a highly satisfying experience!! This game is going to be awesome.

Thanks I love the tentacle too...I just stumbled upon the right look...

I am going to change the civilian sprite though....or maybe animate it...I got to figure out how to do that though...I need to now how to make sub-images when creating a sprite....

Well, I just completed the final build (for this contest at least) of Brain Drain. You can find it Here. There are many features that I wanted to implement but due to the fact that I am in college and  have a crap load of homework to do already, I was not able to include them in this version of the game. I will however continue to work on this game and will feature it in the feedback section when it is ready...

The controls for the game are as follows:

-Left mouse is to control the "Big Brain"
-Right mouse is to control the "Scatter Brains"
-Spacebar (while pointing the mouse pointer in a particular direction) is to use your "Big Brain's" tentacle to suck the brain out of puny humans and recruit more brains to your army
-Shift turns on the shield mechanism for the Scatter Brains" to deflect bullets (you can't move while shielded however)
-W,A,S,D fires "Brain Blasts" off to destroy bullets and humans (if you are unsuccessful in sucking their brains)

*Remember that the "Big Brain" will sustain damage by the bullets (the health bar is in the upper left hand corner)
*The "Scatter Brains" will automatically be destroyed it they collide with a bullet

Anyways, have fun!

(Oh, btw...if you are trying to download this right after I post this you may not be able to right away....YoYo games is initiating a virus scan of the game and as far as I know it still has been completed yet...but worry not, it will be there soon!)

[skaldicpoet9]

Aww, man the virus scan still hasn't completed yet...does that mean that my entry is late? I uploaded the game to YoYO games at 7pm PST or so....damn Virus Scanner...

I'm not sure, but something might have happened for the virus scan to screw up. You should use an upload service like rapidshare while you still can.

[Derek]

skaldicpoet9, e-mail me the game as soon as you can or provide me with another link.  I'm not going to keep you from entering because of Yoyogames.

E-mail: [email protected]

[skaldicpoet9]

Sweet thanks Derek, I appreciate it....I don't know why it is taking this long to virus scan..usually it only takes an hour or so....anyways, here is the new Download Link . I hope everyone enjoys the game, it isn't quite what I envisioned it to be but rest assured I will continue with my original idea and keep on working on it well after the compo is over...

Oh and a big thanks to Sean Chan of Battleships Forever fame for helping me out with getting the game finished in time, thanks Sean you rock!

[Terry]

Sorry, but your link doesn't appear to work.

"File has been deleted by the uploader"

Huh

[skaldicpoet9]

Yeah, it is my own stupid fault....I pasted the killcode link instead of the actual download link and I went to go test it out and it was like "your file has been deleted successfully" and I was like "noooooooo!" lol...I am uploading it again to rapidshare...the thing says it has about a minute left so just about right after this post it should be done....nvm, it is done! lol....I just checked while I was typing...here is the link (the real one, promise) Brain Drain!

The other song you... You! *Hits with frying pan* Ive heard it before, and now im obsessed with its name :I How dare you do that to me xD

+ A comment on your game;
What the flux did you think with the steering of the "tentacle", sometimes realy jiggy, but does it work like this?; Shoot, go other direction you want the tentacly to go, and it goes the other direction. Or? xD

Yeah, this was actually my first game so some of the mechanics of the game have not been entirely fleshed out all of the way. Rest assured though eventually I will release an actual final version of the game that is more polished (at least gameplay wise).

Now if you are talking about the song that plays while your are playing the game that is a track from "When the Earth Stood Still" old school 50s sci-fi stuff...I thought it was appropriate
