Bubble Pop

Any hoo, a little while back i started a thread for a game i was going to release soon and i need people to test the FPS. http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=673199

Well like a week after that i finished it but i never actualy showed you what i had done. Well i figure i will now, im not going to host it on the net, i dont like the slowdown of running it in a browser so if you want to play it you can download the enclosed ZIP file which has the SWF in it.

Feel free to comment on it or what ever, i made it for fun and for learning purposes so the awsomeness of the game doesnt concern me to much, but hopefully its not to bad.

This was actualy my first and only completed game in the 18 months i have been programming, it was completed about 4 months ago and i spent about 2 weeks and about 1 hour of those days making it.

Everything in this game is mine, all AS, grafix, and the sounds. There was a thread a little while go about making an underwater scene and daydream posted some realy nice pics of how to make one, i had made this before that so i didnt copy him nor did he copy me (Wish he did though, lol) so, yeah.

Instructions a straight forward but there are 2 things that you might want to know when playing. If you loose a life, all bubbles on the screen will pop (You dont get points for them) and they start from the bottom again. Same goes if you go up a level.

Wow this turned out to be a little longer that i expected, oh wells, have fun popping.

PS: Im running a AMD Athlon 2000+ 1.65 ghz, so anything above that will run it fine, dont know about how slow of a comp will run it.

hey looks good and progresses pretty well. ran smooth on my pc 40/41 fps
2.8 Ghz, 2Gb, 128Mb GFX

Cheers mate, how was your score?

can't remember dude. i know i leveled up about 5 times

very simple and very fun!

But I can't play the version in the ZIP file

Its flash 8, that might be the reason. Which verson did you play? The old one from the other thread, i dont think i have anyothers.

Any hoo, even though i said "Feel free to comment on it or what ever", i would realy like it if any one else could.

Thank you

quite fun for something so small.

Im glad you liked it SilverVenom

PS: It has been a while scince i actualy checked to see how high i could get but i played a few times and my highest score was:

Level = 8
Points = 574
Time = 102
Total Score = 3572

Fun game. I remember this from the other post. Glad to see that it got done.

Nice game, well executed..

Fun the first time you play it, but tbh I dont think I will play it again.. Got annoyed when it got too hard:P

But looks proffesional:)

Great job on the game! I'm just curious to know where you got the bubble sounds.

And you spelled "You Lose" wrong on the gameover screen :p

running very smooth at a speed of 40 fps and the sound is great and ver proffestional graphic.
my score was:
Level:7
points:384
time:82
score:1868

Wow, that's crazy fun.

Mine was smooth enough at about 19 fps, but I'm on a really old Windows form 2000 or something, everything is slower...

I wasn't really sure what the bar on the left was for, it jumped around alot and I couldn't figure out why...it might help you to know that I have no sound on this computer either, no speakers plugged in.

anyway...
level 11
score 10526
time 176

you should tell what the time is measured in, seconds or what?

perhaps just a few words at the beggining like "pop the bubbles" or "don't pop the bubbles" (whichever the point was, I tried popping them, and that seemed to work for me) a countdown might be nice too...

*goes to play it again*

"loose" means something is not tight.
"lose" means you don't win.

Other than those crits, fun game. My score was 1911

Kewl thanks for the replys. Ill change the spelling right now, so i dont forget.

Lol yeah, i have had some of my friends say the same thing. I couldnt find away around that.

Well, I couldn't play it and I have the flash player 8 :(

I like very much your idea, can I make it for my web page? and maybe say "based on a GLOO POT game" or something, I think there are too many things that can be done in that kind of games :)

By the way, 2 years ago I made a game for a client

http://www.ryp.com.mx/games/pegalocos.html

Also bubbles, but I like yours :D

Just click and keep pressing bubbles with eyes to release the little monsters traped inside, and let me say that I HATE! the laser beam, but the client wanted this way

What do you mean scheletro, do you want to put my game on your site, remake it?
I dont want it on any sites, but feel free to make your own version but i would like it if you didnt use my GFXs.

PS: If you do end up selling your version, put in a good word me ok, i want to do some client work in the very near future

What's GFXs?, graphics and sound effects?

Don't worry, I'll do my own version, I just like to give credit to people's ideas like this one, is an easy and fun game, those are the best!, well, for me they are

at last I could play the last version, I had to play it trough the browser, so my player is 8 in the browser ans 6 in the stand alone LOL

Well, what can I say, I like more the first one, faster, and in this last the bubbles run almost at the same speed, I was waiting some power ups like freeze bubbles on the screen or a bonus bubble to earn more points, maybe a 1 UP bubble, or a bomb to pop all bubbles in the screen, do you like the ideas?

Yeah, i had those planned but i had this assignment for school i had to do (Bulding a child game so i wanted to do somthing in flash) and the teatcher thought it would be to complicated with them. I never acualy got around to putting all my idea's in, but maby i will in verson 2.

Right now im just fixing up a collision engine for a platformer i want to make, i only recently (Like 2 months ago) made a Pixle perfect engine that ran so well and hardly did any damage to the FPS and i never got around to using it. So maby after this i might make Bubble Pop 2.

Yeah i ment those.

PS: With your site, did you tell your clients that you were hosting unbranded ETC ETC versions of there game on your site, i have thought about making something worth selling, but i wasnt shore if i could keep a real unbranded version for my own site. I was just wondering how you did it?

Sorry I didn't understand this part, so let me tell what I do

As you can see now I put a new web page

http://www.ryp.com.mx/games/netfun/

In this web page I'm putting all the games I ever done, some of mine that are not been sold, some demos, engines, experiments, toys and some games that I sold, I'm planning to make a link to the game in the clients webpages, also some games I did for a company that has the rights of marvel, I can't show those because I don't want any trouble

This is just a page for clients, as you can see there are no buttons, just the games, I always contact with people like selling web pages, but I sell games to many companies, so I'm not good adviser, I can show other people's games, if some one want to license I can arrange something, first I want to finish the page because I have around 80 games to show

Did I help?, can you explain me a little bit more, my english is not the best :D

When you make someone a game, can you have your own version on your site? I wasnt shore if they dont like it when you do.

Well, whenever you make something, anything in fact, it is legally under copyright protection. That means that if you make a game, it's yours unless you sell the entire game to someone else.

As long as it is yours, you can do whatever you want with it. (unfortunately, if you do not register the copyright, you can't sue people if they steal it for profit) However, if your host site now owns the game, you'll have to negotiate a settlement with them.

I understand, yeah I can use them because they are mine, but....., in some games I need to change the graphics, like in the case of marvel, but the engine is mine and I use it with another graphics in my web

sorry to burst your bubble but

hold down the tab key and them bubbles pop so easy

;) not sure if you can fix that either...

there's a way to get rid of that tab key thing, the same script to save your "find the differences" game

I dont get what you mean? I tryed it and i didnt understand what the differance was?
Is this just a mac thing?

flash has tabbing, focus on the movie and then press tab you should see a yellow box around the elements in the movie, might just be buttons only but when this yellow box appears around a button its as if an on(rollOver) has been called

Hey Gloo Pot, check this out:

Well... I dont know what to say...
The game its self looks quite good and some nice idea's have been implamented into it, but i still dont like knowing that there game exists. Maby i will just have to make my verson 2 even better than theres. :D

Cheers for the link

WOW somebody made it

I think we can make it better, and thats for sure, we can put some ideas here to improve your game

I will once i make my next game
First thing i need is a F***ing blog that supports SWF's!!!!!!!!!!!!
I been trying to code my own in PHP (With flash files) But that is quite hard...
