Gun Grabbers! by TobiasNL
CURRENT GUN GRABBER KING: Marcellus with a score of 87087!
I wil continue working on this game after the competition's over.
DESCRIPTION:
Gun Grabbers is a fast paced arcade platform game about stealing a weapon, and getting robbed of it.
There's only ONE weapon, and there are a lot of weaponless greedy lads trying to get that weapon! But you, the player, can also grab that awesome gun! Go slay all those needy & greedy dudes with detonateable mortars and machinegun fire. Watch out though, don't let that power fall into enemy hands, and watch that HEAT meter, getting stunned ain't funny...
I tried to make this game not too hard (my previous entries were just that), but I think I failed.
TIP: use a stun grenade, THEN try to steal his weapon.
It cost me a lot of effort to get this game working before the deadline, but it was totally worth it! There's still one nasty bug though. Hope it won't occur too often (the gun actually dissapears :P)
I used Gamemaker 8, Ejay, SFXR, Cool Edit Pro and my microphone.
I hope you folks enjoy the game!
FEATURES:
-1 training level
-1 highscore based arena level
-smooth gameplay
-sounds & music

Very cool!
Gameplay felt pretty good and music was great too.
I think I'll continue working on this. It needs some fine tuning and more various enemies.
This game is so much win!
This game is amazing though. The art style is soooooooooo good. There are so many good things going on on the screen that it just feels really great to play it. It's one of the best I've played so far. Really really good job!
I'll consider all suggestions... I might implement them later!
@adnzzzzZ: Haha that's a pretty wild score man. You win :P The game should indeed feature more challenge (more varied enemies?) as it gets too easy after a few rounds playing. I'll look into it after the competition!
To make a long story short: The scoring part and the fact that the enemies steel your gun (how fckn cool is that?) make this a brilliant game. Not to mention that it looks gorgeous.
Well - that's just my opinion. I think I made my point clear. Good job ;)
Maybe you should increase the need to cash the money (like getting one HP back). Or maybe I didn't get everything (like 2* multiplayer ennemies). I'll try again. Bravo.
My score is 45977.
Best game i've seen tonight by far, please please please make a multiplayer version !
Brilliant job!
I had som problems to read the texts because the colors are so shiny on the dark.
But theme is "You Only Get One", not "Arena Shooter" or something else...
Probably my favorite so far!
Cheers, Marcus
I've added a post compo version which adresses a few balance issues and adds more challenge to the game. It also features more music and a new enemy!
