bubble bobble work-in-progress

another project in the go... yes, another...

i encountered some difficulties with the kid icarus conversion (it was my very first platform game), so i decided to convert an apparently easier game: bubble bobble 2, NES...
with the code i'm developping for the game, i'll can work on other bubble bobble-like games without spending too much time...
oh, and this time, i'll try to finish it!!!! ^^

what's done
- the first stage is near complete. what i mean:
-your character is fully playable, except the special attack included in the nes version
-enemies are here (i'll have to improve just a little bit their AI... besides that, the first enemy-type is finished)
-you can jump higher if you jump at the top of the bubbles (of course keep the jump key pressed, or the bubble will explode). you'll use that particularity in higher levels to reach high platforms...
-some sounds are here. music is coming very soon

what's missing
-there's no game over yet. when an enemy hits you, you die... and you'll have to refresh your browser. sorry about that.
-when you'll reach stage 2, you'll see that it's empty: no enemy. plus you cannot control bub.

here's the link:

keys:
movments: arrows
action (also start button at the begining): ctrl
jump: space

if you have positive or negative feedbacks, don't hesitate to drop a word. thanks ^^

i pressed ctrl and it started but it didnt start when i pressed shift...

i like the game so far. it is really fun, you need to finish this one!!

sorry, the key you have to press at the begining (and also the same to attack) seems to be CTRL... on a PC.
for mac users, like me, it's the key right near the space bar, and not the CTRL one.

i corrected it in my first post...

acidrap123
now you know what key i'm talking about ^^
also, you'll have the ability to configure the keys in a near future, hopefully

thanks ^^
about finishing it, I'LL TRY!!! but believe me, i'm learning a lot of things by trying different kinds of games (platform, fighting, RPG, myst-like...).

Yaaaay! At last, somebody is doing Bubble Bobble!

Great conversion so far marmotte, keep up the good work!

NICE!

i loved that game on c64.

just this : - theres a js error on the page

and btw. i broke my fingers when i tried to shoot AND jump (i first hit "up", which i think is a little bit easier to use ?)

i hope this game gets finished.

<olli/>

great game to start it just push ctrl and apple down together:D :D

whats with the funny cow:cow: mmmmuuuuuhhh

I would also use UP for jumping! Besides from that it looks great!

really?

mmmh... ok, the fact is you'll can configure the keys in a future version, so ^^ no problem

but i'm wondering: with the PC, the CTRL key is not right near the space key?

great game again :) i love this game, i have it on hand for my dc... i own the original ;)......

As usually Marmotte, your game are quite-flawless "Fideles" ports of their console counterparts ... though, i would join nGFX : i really wish that one is finished ( actually, i'm lying : I would rather wish that you finish your fighting game (don't remember the name ) cos i had tons of fun with it, even without AI :)) ...

By the way : interested in a port of Barbarian ( for US -> death Sword : a hit on Commodore, CPC, ATARI and Amiga ) ??? I would help anyway i can if the port was planned by someone ...

Just to show how much an aficionado I am :

It's an add for the online community that i made 2 years ago ...

Love the work as always marmotte keep it up. :D

thanks for your feedback, all...

do you mean dreamcast? (dc)

luxregina
oh, you like my fighting game that much? well, as i said, i'm not going to give it up. remember, i have more than 2 gigas of characters/background to include... (!)
^ it's a "long time taker" project!

about barbarian, sorry but i think i never played it... i'm not sure though. but well, maybe i'll take a look at it, if it's my kind of game or not ^^.

thanks, iori :-)

yes, dreamcast, :cool:

wow. man, you do some great stuff. that looks like just like the original, and your fighting game's graphics are awesome! your homepage alone is 2 cool.
i can't wait to see it finished!

acidrap123
i didn't even know bubble bobble was on dreamcast. personaly i had the NES version...

jwtheiss
thanks for your comments ^^
about the fighting game, i don't have merits with the graphics, because i ripped them... my idea is to develop a fight game with already known graphics and characters.

marmotte i really like your style of game-making. every game you make i always forget that that is made in flash. smooth as ****....excellent work once again.

update!

i just posted an update to my bubble bobble game:
http://www.marmotte.levillage.org/ga...le_bobble.html

what's new
-enemies in the first stage are a little bit smarter.
-second enemy finished: you'll encounter it in the second stage.
-this time you'll not have to refresh when you die! (you still have infinite lives though)
-second stage is fully accessible. but you'll be stuck in the third one, because 2 enemies are missing (i just finished to rip it)
-bonus: depending on how you're playing or in which stage you are, the bubbles you throwed may transform to a lot of bonuses when you kill the last enemy in each stage.
-changed some minor graphics
-changed the background (very minor update, hehe ^^)

ok, i had that problem sometimes: your character gets stucks in some platforms when you are re-jumping on a bubble... if you encounter that problem, i'll probably fix it soon, if i can ^^

again, feedbacks/suggestions are welcome ^^

update! again...

well, is somebody's playing or testing my game? :-)

what's new
- fixed all bugs "i'm stuck in the platform", finally. there shouldn't be any problem with it now...
- added some musics: title screen, game over screen, in-game music...
- now if you don't have lives anymore, the game over screen is done ^^
- added some new areas!
- added the enemy's "berserk mode" (bubble bobble fans will understand ^^)
- optimised some codes.
- due to sound, the file is now a little bit more than 300ko. no preloader, so if you are surfing with a 56k, like me, please wait a little bit ^^

kick ass, marmotte!
my little suggestion: start the game in a pop-up window(i think this will give it a more nes look)

otherwise, great, didnt notice any bugs, great gameplay. i lost, but how many levels did u make?

can u actually win right now?
