HICKBILLY BRIDE

The Game That I Made And That Was Finished

Ok, you guessed it! The game is officially done. (I did like 15 minutes work on it in the last 5 days because I am back at graduate school, spending 13 hours a day in my sculpture studio.)

Download a .ZIP here: http://www.willhostforfood.com/files/31404/Hickbilly Bride.zip

It contains: an .APP for OS X (PPC), an .EXE for Windows, and a plain old .FLA.

I recommend not playing the .FLA, but I included it for the sake of compatibility. It might even work in the open source flash player, but I don't know.

Please note, because the game runs at 6 FPS and the key trapping is run in an onEnterFrame event, if you just tap a key it can be missed (a lesson for all of us). So... slam those puppies and hold'em down!

Hope every one enjoys the game. And if you get stuck, just think: You can't figure out what to do, and there are only 3 buttons to press in the whole game... Kinda sad, eh? But seriously, try to think things through, it's not really that hard.

Finally, I really want to hear what people think. Liked it, hated it, beat it, or ignored it? Let me know! Also, I'll accept bug reports here on the forum for a few days, but I warn you: what you consider to be a bug worth fixing and what I consider to be a bug worth fixing may differ...

Now, go play that shit!

I just finished this and I have to say, it has easily surpassed the already high expectations I had for it! As short as this game was, I found it to be a wholly complete experience. In just thirty minutes I felt anger, frustration, terror, mirth, triumph, and heart-warming romance. Excellent job!

Also, I give your rednecks a 100% seal of accuracy.

My head... it can't.. take... awesome...

*explode*

This game is awesome, just perfect.

Too hard for me - it took me long enough to get past the possum on the first screen, then there was two more and a croc.

Pretty awesome graphics and atmosphere though, overall. I guess I'm just not used to 6FPS games. or maybe I suck

I really like it, man!  That opening text had me cracking up.  And I love how difficult the game is, despite only having 3 buttons at my disposal.  Clever, clever!

Still not sure how I beat the very last section, but oh well.

Holy shoot!

Just logged in this morning and saw a screen cap from this game on the front page. Kinda freaked me out.

Wow, thanks for the compliments. Glad to hear the rednecks are now officially approved.

Still not sure how I beat the very last section, but oh well.

Don't wanna hand out too many hints just yet... Maybe in a few days time. Just remember, a keen eye and some short term memory is always your best friend.

Thanks to everyone who is playing!

Seconded! I really enjoyed the game. If all the other games are at this standard....I won't need to buy any more for a while ;P

Very cool. Loved the puzzles.

I think this baby made it for me as soon as the alligator showed up during the stealth segment.

"Okay, sneak sneak sneak, sneak sneak sneak, oh christ is that an alligator? RUN"

[Pacian]

Absolutely outstanding, except... didn't you misspell 'lessun'?

[Terry]

It's great so far, but I'm totally stuck at the cats

[G.Chuk]

Ya those cats are tricky, I can't get past Brutus!

 This game is incredibly fun, I am digging how hard it is, not many games today with a real challenge... Very frustrating though haha!

I don't want anyone to spoil how to be the cats for everyone, but if you want to email me go for it haha, It's driving me mad!


**EDIT**   I DID IT! WOOOT!  This game has a huge reward factor, I feel very accomplished now.

Excellent little puzzle adventure! The graphics were great, too!

[can-o-spam]

Wow, this competition is going great! There are so many titles out now. Seems like there is going to be a pretty good little collection of games left after all the dust settles.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. After the competition date passes I'll post a list of hints for each screen...

Sorry for not commenting on titles from other authors, but I haven't seen many that'll run on my old PowerPC Mac.
