f4 switches fullscreen/windowed mode

the space bar thing is a cheat indeed, I removed it from future builds

[BoxedLunch]

just got a gamepad, and found a hidden level.

[namre]

Are you referring to the secret level? If so, I got it too on my gamepad. Lol

[BoxedLunch]

yup.

You know what your game still needs, don't you? It needs music.
I fixed that for you.

You're welcome.

@Machine Saint, woah. That sounds great! It really suits the style of the game.

[Ashkin]

Wow. Just wow. I can't believe I didn't notice this. Awesome, Jwaap. I am ADDICTED. This is exactly the kind of game I want on a handheld to take to school.

Critique:
1) I think that there should be more melee weapons. The katana is really fun, and I'd like to use it more.

2) The dual pistols are kind of under-powered. This is most likely because they are the same as the default weapon. I think you should up the pistol's power and, instead of a pistol, have a fist for default. It would work as a short-ranged katana with less power.

3) My favorite weapons: Katana, Grenade launcher, Revolver, Minigun and (sometimes) C4.

4) I love using weapons and then switching, such as placing C4 everywhere and grabbing a new weapon, or shooting some grenades and grabbing a crate.

5) The revolver should have a small amount of recoil for its power.

Really fun. My top score is 15 crates, I've gotten 1473 crates, killed 2542 enemies, and died 400 times.

You're welcome.

Thanks, nice song! I like the electro/chiptune kind of mix, but I can't use this.

We already have plans for this game, and we've got a music man.

I'm sorry, but nice work!

[ness io kain]

Yeah, that's OK. I did wonder if you had plans for something already.
I'm glad you like it, though. That might be a good thing to put on a business card or something some day: "Virtual Plankton Kleptocracy: Now Jan Willem Nijman approved!"

Feel free to use this if you ever need music for another random thing in the future. Your games have a pretty consistent style, so it might sound right with something else, too.

battle mode preview!

[JMickle]

jw that looks cool as hell. when you releasing that shiz?

[jwaap]

will take a while I'm afraid, lots to do still!

to keep you satisfied, here is another video:





shows challenge mode

[LeFishy]

I wish I could find a box of success.

[Laremere]

That laser gun looks like it's fun.

[namre]

There's now a challenge mode! Weee! Can't wait how I would fare. Max crates I got in Very Hard mode would be 18, I think.

[jwaap]

A lot of hard work done today, so I'm posting a secret in between builds version here. 



DOWNLOAD v1.3

This adds challenge mode and battle mode. Xbox Controller is recommended.

Press start on xbox controller or r to return to the menu from ingame.
z or b on controller to go back to previous menu

Also: pick a skin in the statistics menu with left/right.

Challenge mode has 8 levels now, they are all rather simple, and are ment to introduce people into the game. (while the further challenges will be super crazy hard stuff only! :D)

for battle mode, plug in one or two controllers, start a game in classic mode, press b once, and just keep playing and see who can get most crates.


have fun, and please give feedback: tell me how far you got at challenge mode, and what your friends think of battle mode.

THANKS

<3


Now I'm tired

[BoxedLunch]

squee!

Beat all the stuff currently in Challenge Mode! The 'flying enemies' one was probably the trickiest.

Not a big fan of the laser rifle right now - it seems really tricky to use, even moreso than the disc gun. That was probably your intent, actually, but I'm not sure you need guns that are trickier to use...

(It would be a very different weapon, but it might be interesting to let you 'hold' the charge - like Samus's charge beam, etc.)

Also, I just tried to start up the game again, to make sure that you couldn't charge the laser rifle at present - and it gave me the same error as when I tried to start it with a save from v1? As though the save had been corrupted when I quit?

worrying

(and you should probably change the link in your first post)

that shouldn't be happening, delete the save file again and it shouldn't happen again. ? S:

I'm no laser rifle fan either, I'll be changing or removing it.

THANKS! you too andy <3
