Free Fall: Stomp Party

I love this, and it was a cool idea to have it tile. 

Cool, what did you use to punch the round corners?

It's this corner rounder punch thing that I bought at Staples for $7.  You should be able to find one at any of the office stores.

These were my cards. I got them through Vistaprint which does not round corners.  Had to punch out the corners by hand and thankfully aeiowu wanted to do all of them    I also made some laser monster figurines out of sculpey.

Awesome pics Nava!  Here's my GDC album:

Beau Blyth drew this at our hostel right after we left the Art Jam.

I'm getting ready for GDC and making some Laserbacks out of Sculpey to give to future friends I meet there.  I'm putting a nail slot on the bottom of them so they can either be climbing a wall or just standing on a table. 

Just a small update: I've been trying to fix the random crashing bug for a while---it's a bit of a tricky one. In any case, I've found a solution, and the updated version is now online, if anyone wants to revisit the game (Katamaran, I'm looking in your direction).

Let me know how it goes and if it arbitrarily crashes again 

Dang.  It just crashed on me (old version) directly after I made one partner orgasm but not the other, and I was hoping it that was planned

The sybolism in each minigame came across really well.  There weren't any that I didn't understand.

Good job with it.

Kill the nearest enemy's tower!  That and getting every powerup you can were my best strategies by far.  Cool game, we had a lot of fun.

It's just a tad to slow to use the shield. It feels like it doesn't protect you during the beginning of the animation so you have to press quite a while before you get hit?

I've noticed that too, and don't know what's going on with it exactly.  Do you think it's framerate?  It seems that if the missile is inside the border of the shield when you turn the shield on then it doesn't block it.  I'm using Game Maker 7.

@nihilocrat
Yeah, it can get tough if you don't stay on top of blasting the helicopters with lasers.  Were you having trouble with the green choppers or the red ones?  The red ones shoot instant kill missiles (for now) so they are tough.

Congrats Mike, Greg, Steph, and all the other winners
 

That's a good point about illustrating the hugeness of the monster.  He is just kind of casually walking up the building right now rather than straining to pull himself up.

Yeah I definitely agree about the lack of purpose.  I've been working on a storyline for a few weeks, and I've got it to a place I really like.  I'm going to be moving things in that direction next.

Thanks for the feedback
