Ok now that was boring...

Poorly executed.. Work on it a little more.. the whole 15% minimum kinda sucks when some guy with a parachute is dropping from above and is too close for you to hit.

I am a master beta tester.

Can't test game now- downloading pr0n

 
Scypher 2002-06-16 12:31:08 PM  
Euhh, no Peg.

 
Lathranon 2002-06-16 12:32:20 PM  
As is: not so good; lets try some BOOBIES in there and see how your resposes go. But hey, atleast you are trying something constructive and not just downloading prOn (fetus)

 
cotb [TotalFark] 2002-06-16 12:32:48 PM  
This was fun... for me to poop on.


Having said that-- I couldn't have made it...

It's nice to see that some games don't mind suspending rules such as physics (friction, wind, etc) when creating a projectile game.

 
Flakeloaf 2002-06-16 12:36:56 PM  
Hey it's not bad for a first try. Simple mechanics, no excessive shiat, objective is easily understood. Nice job.

 
am3ricansyko 2002-06-16 12:37:27 PM  
oh yeah? weu try and make it

 
scraping-fetus-off-the-wheel 2002-06-16 12:38:31 PM  
Ok- finished downloading porn

game needs some sharks with lasers on their foreheads.

I always knew Java could blow away my VIC-20.

Only a certain number of shots are displayed on the screen, even when you hold the space bar down :-/

 
DanPerkins 2002-06-16 12:46:56 PM  
I got a null pointer exception while trying to load an image. Does this require Java 2, because all I have is 1.1.8.

 
Edseldave 2002-06-16 12:48:20 PM  
I gotta say... You farkers who negatively critique (like your opinion counts) should consider peeling your flabby asses off your computer chair and perhaps venture out of your bachelor apartment, and ACTUALLY contribute positively to the universe... No, wait... the sight of your pale acne-infested skin may upset my stomach.. stay home and keep up the good work!!

I guess it's easier to be an asshole than to give the poor guy a break.

Needs gibs.

 
ogt462 2002-06-16 12:52:05 PM  
the guy asked for an opinion, so people are giving it to him, if all he wanted was positive feedback he should have asked for that, so relax a bit

 
AVoiceInYourHead 2002-06-16 12:53:16 PM  
i wonder how long till the site gets farked

 
Jelloboytoy 2002-06-16 12:54:29 PM  
good start..worked for me on OSX...some long pauses...went from a slow pace to super fast.....

keep up the good work..!

enjoyable (briefly).

i could see a million white collar executives sitting around behind closed doors for about 10 minutes playing this before doing something else. maybe even mass emailing it to their friends and family.

if this is the first thing that you have done then i give you kudos. i know i couldn't make that.

 
BelDion 2002-06-16 12:55:25 PM  
Crashed my browser (Opera), that startup noise is useless and loud as fark, sound when you lose is dull and repetitive, angles are poorly contolled, and it's pretty much boring.

Hey, you asked for beta test, I gotta be honest.

 
bender127 2002-06-16 12:56:13 PM  
I was assualted by 10 guys in green pajamas (a heart stopping experience), but my automatic motor cannon sent them back to hell from whence they came. Then, for some reason, a 3 minute cease fire ensued. Unfortunately, that little green soldier guy will never know the war was over.

In any case, I think the game would get more exposure if the enemy had turbans. Heh...

 
scraping-fetus-off-the-wheel 2002-06-16 12:56:16 PM  
I like how the guys legs move, reminds me of an Atari game.
And for people who are too stupid to understand what I am saying, I like it.

 
MUCHWYZA [TotalFark] 2002-06-16 12:57:14 PM  
I won!!! ...then again, the only game I ever played was Tetris ... on a Gameboy.

Keep up the good work. Any farkers who are mean-spirited might be kickin' demselfs 2 years from now when you're rollin' in the big bux.

 
pknudsen 2002-06-16 12:57:43 PM  
Pretty cool. Reminds me of an Apple II game called "Sabatage". There if you shot the parachutists, they might land on the foot soldiers, killing one.

 
meek 2002-06-16 01:00:03 PM  
Good.... but.... why does the mortar bend? that doesn't seem right... i can't help but think that i'm using my trusty bendable penis to fire gallstones at random guys :|

Also, the mortar doesn't cover the whole screen. that should either be changed or the guys should shoot you once they get out of range of the mortar, just to speed things up.

 
zim1 2002-06-16 01:00:07 PM  
When I lost the game (during stage 2), the "you got killed" gunfire sound kept playing for a split second and starting over; it didn't play the whole sound until I hit the back button.

Also, you can hit a guy in the face and it goes through him. That might be a bug.

Kittens will die!

 
Mad Ogre 2002-06-16 01:08:45 PM  
I played a game like that once before. On the first MAC. Cute. Nifty game. Keep it up.
The morter needs a sound effect. A kinda "THOOMP" sound.

 
duskboy 2002-06-16 01:10:40 PM  
geez, this poor chap will never recover from all this *input*... as a programmer you gotta start somewhere: -with really amateurish stuff, right?! btw, LOUD!

 
Blackbird [TotalFark] 2002-06-16 01:10:51 PM  
Woo! Someone else who remembers Sabatoge! The first 3 sucessful paratroopers form a step beside your turret and the 4th will climb the step and blow up your turret. ^_^

 
HulkingMenace 2002-06-16 01:13:24 PM  
Umm.. many of you seem confused as to how to aim a mortar.. the HIGHER the degree of elevation the CLOSER the round will land to you.. the mortar covers almost the entire field... yeesh..

That being said, I still suck at it and got overwhelmed..

 
duskboy 2002-06-16 01:16:15 PM  
Mad Ogre: i remember that old mac game too, was it armor alley? that was the only game besides tristan (pinball) we had at work back in 91.

 
GizmoToy 2002-06-16 01:16:51 PM  
In contrast to a previous post, the game worked fine for me in Opera. And yeah, the 15deg min kinda sucks. Once you let one by you're screwed.

 
seeingeyegod 2002-06-16 01:17:08 PM  
Sabatoge/Paratrooper rocked. Was one of my favorite games for Commodore, Apple and old IBM PC, the apple versions actually had better graphics than the PC.

Anyone remember the game 'Wavy Navy"

and yes to anyone who cares I did still use an 8088 with 640k and EGA till the early 90s. Took me awhile to think of the right brain control method to convince my dad to buy "the family" a 386 (so I could play chuck yeagers air combat and SWOTL)

 
rhiannon [TotalFark] 2002-06-16 01:17:49 PM  
Hey someone has a cat that looks just like mine.
Unfortunately that person doesn't seem to understand that when someone posts something and is looking for an opinion, when someone gives said opinion it's not a personal attack on the poster. Unlike the immature and juvenile act of calling soemone an asshole.

 
kid_at 2002-06-16 01:21:03 PM  
obvious

 
LordVger 2002-06-16 01:21:51 PM  
Hell yes I remember Sabotage... Still have it. yessir, I have me an Apple ][ emulator and still haul out my old faves... like Aztec and LodeRunner.

AND I think this game is pretty well done, too. There was a long pause once, however, that you should perhaps tend to. And don't listen to the naysayers 'cuz they need whistles and bells to stimulate their tiny noggans.... don't understand old school simplicity.

 
pipco 2002-06-16 01:22:02 PM  
ok..ok.. i'm po' white trash. i fuggin' loved that game!!! it goes so good with drinkin' beer. can be played to perfection with one hand. one thing... how can i download it so i can play it when my stupid isp (earthlink) isn't providing?

 
seeingeyegod 2002-06-16 01:22:15 PM  
Looks like the guy is holding a cat who's tail is wagging

 
SkyDog1972 2002-06-16 01:24:54 PM  
It appears you have to hit someone in the feet to get
them. Anything that goes above their feet goes right
through. Here's an example of a shot that missed.
(Mortar fire is circled). Other than that, not a bad
little game.

 
Edseldave 2002-06-16 01:30:24 PM  
Special note to Rhiannon...

(Call me a shiat disturber, but I'm at work with nothing to do....)
Cat-man's and my point was that decent people offer constructive criticism, while "asshole's" generally dis' someone just for the sake of being mean.... Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

 
DoorFrame 2002-06-16 01:30:39 PM  
Stupid.

I just got to a point where I'd shot everyone on the screen fairly quickly, and then had a 30 second or one minute pause where there were NO bad guys at all. Now that was dull.

Speed them up a little bit, have some different terrain to deal with, throw turbans on their heads and have the blast radius be a little bit larger and you've got a chance.

 
pipco 2002-06-16 01:30:52 PM  
dammm! HOLY shiat!!!!! i just pulled the biggest jammin-ass boogey outta my proboscis... ooh ...oops the game huh? wrong thread..oopsey

 
rhiannon [TotalFark] 2002-06-16 01:34:44 PM  
Edseldave: Oh I get it. Here then: the game is boring and needs a little more action to make it more interesting.
There, is that better? I just thought the word boring was self explanatory. Guess I was wrong.

 
pipco 2002-06-16 01:37:43 PM  
ok..ok.. i can feel the suspense right through my 56kmodem which is giving me 19K (thanks earthlink) .. i wiped it on the " empty beer disposal bag"
