Game in a Day Showcase Thread

[buckeroo]

I think Game in a Day events are a lot of fun as it forces you to do the following:

1. Get something out there.
2. Gives you permission to go all out, now that you have a contigious block of time (in other words, the production isn't drawn out over long periods of time and you forget what it was you were doing).
3. You can learn things you never knew about the program and you hustle to get the answer.
4. It's fun especially if you can finish.

Post your game-in-a-day in this thread.

Here's what I was able to create with MMF2 in about 21 hours. It just got approved by Mochimedia and will hopefully get some distribution. Maybe this time around I'll be able to buy a couple of burgers

Ok, here's the link:

Nice work, have you also drawn the gfx by yourself within the time limit? Got an error message when submitting highscore. Couldn't read it because the message window was very small. Score wasn't sumitted.

I was originally an illustrator and designer before I became a programmer so drawing is second nature to me. As for the graphics, the main game was all custom - they are all new and was produced within the 21 hours. The intro, start, game over and instructions screens were part of a boiler-plate set that I created from a previous test game I made with MMF2 to act as a shell for any game that I might create. For the boiler-plate stuff, I customize the main titles and graphics.

The score submitting is unusual. I've had a dozen submits so not sure why that would be. I'll take a look at it. It would be good know what would cause that.

MMF2 is a perfect mix of point and click with enough power that I can appreciate as a programmer. From what I understand, extensions can also be created, so I will be dusting my C++ hat in the next few months if I can.

Thanks for your comments.

The game really isn't that good, even for a flash game.

The movement felt a bit glitchy, I don't think that the bounce back should last so long.

The level design was pretty bad as well, since there wasn't much to bring me into the game I was confused on what I should be collecting and what I should be avoiding.

It needs a lot of work before it can be considered a game.

Yeah, I'll work on it. I'll take what you said to heart about how confused you got with what to go after and what not to go after. Anyone else get confused? I kinda felt the instructions explained to stay away from the ladybugs and burrs.

I've only been using MMF2 for about 3 weeks and it's my second game. Number 3 will be better and will do another game-in-a-day event.

As for my plans with MMF2, I am going to totally obliterate this program and put it through its paces in the next few months.

Really nice graphics. A few improvements to the gameplay (what UrbanMonk listed) and this will become a nifty little game.

Ok, so I worked REALLY hard on this game from sunrise to sunset. I was loaded on caffeine. You can play it here at Kongregate (No account needed). I hope you like it!

Hmm, you might want to remove that music from the game because it's a commercial copyright track...

I've given them credit, and I'm told that it should be O.K.
