Hello..!

Made another game. Felt like doing a fun side project after my last final exam. Here's what's come of it thus far:

Download

Description as follows:

-----------------------------
CANNON BALLIN'!

Primarily a two player game, wherein one controls the cannon turret and the other controls stealthy ninja. As the ninja you want to take over the cannon, and as the Gunner you want to defend your base. Once the cannon is taken over the players switch roles.

NINJA ABILITIES!
Run! Jump! Climb! And use your stealthy ninja rocket boots! Get to the base to kick some ass and take control!

GUNNER ABILITIES!
Big exploding balls to rain down upon ninja! Aim, fire, and fire some more.

SINGLE PLAYER MODE!
Play as a gunner trying to survive a full frontal ninja onslaught. Feel his terror as the ever more vicious horde of ninja come down upon him. Share his exhilaration as he turns deadly ninja into piles of char grilled ground meat!

FEATURES!
- Destructible terrain that reacts to gravity!
- Semi-competent ninja AI!
- Randomly generated landscapes with accessible seed codes!
- 2 Player Ninja power ups! Refill your boost or call in backup!
- CARNAGE!

MORE TO COME! (eventually)
- More-competent AI!
- Further play modes!
- Gunner AI!
- Hi-Score tables!

Oh shit! I've made it work... but it's too obvious I'm playing a game and the head of the library is sitting behind me right now, so I'll have to play later

I played it anyway, but I got a bit stuck the first time.

Stuck on scenery. I didn't have any gas and couldn't jump high enough.
I was probably doing something wrong though.

Yeah, if you were trapped under some falling dirt I've fixed that so it shouldn't happen.

If you ran out of boost because you were using it too much... well, you're stuck. There are some power up crates that fall for the ninja randomly so you can get more fuel from that.

I'll probably put in a slow refill should the ninja have fuel below a certain threshold, that way no cliff is totally insurmountable.

Ha ha ha. Holy shit that's some dedication. How come the highscore table didn't show up? I don't think you'd have busted it with that score.

Glad to see you didn't give up on it when it screwed with your ff.

You've certainly topped me!

Yeah I don't know if the ninjas can cushion themselves on the body parts of fallen comrades but the set up I had there should have allowed me to walk away from the computer and reap the rewards of infinite death. However, every so often some ninjas would survive the fall.

Uh...fixing the door blocking and taking away points for ninja suicides just ruined the game for me! I mean they are dying because of MY handiwork.

How was the game crashing when your ninja is spawning and all doors are blocked beneficial to you in any way? Shock

did you try cannon barrage mode?

My game never crashed. My strategy for the game is to destroy land and keep all but one door blocked.

Ninja is supreme and you have double crossed it!

Eightman, make this game internets capable. Damien's ninjas must DIE (like surf nazis). Also, eightman is like the SE of indy games now. He won't release the game I want to play.

I have no need for this game anymore.

Holy crap. You rpgers are good at grinding shit out.

You're still playing the old version aren't you? Tch tch.

Does this game not work on a compact keyboard?

Hmm. Couldn't get the game to work on my laptop at home. Don't know what's up with that.

Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 11:18 am Post subject:

No idea either fella. Well, if you manage to get a working keyboard or pair of controllers (xbox 360 ones should work) then you can try the next update with a brand new mode and such and such...
