[ Game ] Crazy Balls

[Squize]

Hi,

Just a quick pimp for our latest game.


Crazy Balls.

It's really not our usual kind of game ( It uses vectors and hi-quality! ) and not really targetted at our "usual" audience.

It is what it is. A nice little coffee break game, so please don't go clicking the link expecting the world. It's just pure pimpware

Major credits must go to dayDream for the always perfect pixels, and nGFX for all the testing, putting up with my moaning, the server side stuff and making my nasty html page a lot nicer.
Also thanks to Al for her cheeky cockney vocals and Mrs. Jackson for the jump "huh" ( Which sounds quite a bit like the JBJ Sisters... odd ).
A big ol' thanks to everyone who had a sneak peek and gave me invaluable feedback, and for the constant readers at the sN blog who had to wait an extra week or two to get their hands on it.

Happy new year everyone, now play & enjoy...

nice all around, nice graphics, sound, i like the audio clips used. especially the simple backgrounds, and the one yellow baddie who looks angry, nice art.

[Kakihara]

nice game, like everything really apart from the sound loop which i had to turn off before i hung myself.

good job as usual.

ps. whats that uxbkid thingy?

[mixedtrigeno]

so that's what the kid on ur icon is(squize...a game damn it and i was about to ask you if i can rob you from that icon to make a game about him cuse he looks cool.

[HumbuckeR]

Now that's another great game.

I bet you released it to increase the "Game Count" for the current year... Just kiding.

Just an issue... When you hit spacebar and the yellow thingie comes out it does not hittest the enemies near the edge.

Other than that great fun!

Happy New Year to y'all!!!

Aha!... Nice game.
But when that thing jumps on me I can't get up, he just jumps on me several times and that's it.. Is it sopposed to be like that?
Squize, are you sure that name is ok? Sounds abit like a nickname of some porn-star... "Argh!, I'm Crazy Balls! Come to Papa!"
p.s. Don't tell me I got a sick mind, first impression from the name was normal, after awhile...

Very good, well polished game. I like the graphics. Just one thing, for the email, it got caught in my spam filter, and I am not surprised. It looks exactly like every email virus I have recieved. So reword the message or ask for the senders email address and use that as the from line.

[adit_ya_sharma]

Nice graphics! Also, I thought, in the starting, why were you willing to give away this game to any site, then I saw the ads. Good idea!

[dernalin]

beautiful graphics! i like that game!

greets,
dernalin

[crashlanding]

great graphics update, well done dayDream.

(much better than those "coder graphics" )

[OneMrBean]

Very nice game. The graphics are smooth, control is a little slow, but it matches the pace of the game nicely. Also, I suppose I'm one of the few people so far who can tolerate the music, simply because it's strikingly similar to the Safety Dance, one of my favourites! *does the safety dance for old time's sake*

Hi everyone. I hope you're all nursing bad hang overs like I am.

Klas:
Pang ? Never heard of it mate

astrocalder:
Thanks.

Kakihara:
Check out the sN blog in my sig for more about UXB Kid ( And never let it be said I miss a chance to pimp ).

mixedtrigeno:
Sorry mate, you can't rip that bad boy

HumbuckeR:
"yellow thingie" Thats about the best description I've heard of his shot.
Hopefully daydream can explain what it is, 'cause I'm not exactly sure my self. Pretty though.
You sure that's a bug ? When you first kill one of the big baddies the smaller ones flash white for a little while so you can't kill them straight away.

rabbitkiller:
"But when that thing jumps on me I can't get up, he just jumps on me several times and that's it.. Is it sopposed to be like that?"
You mean when you lose a life ? Yeah, it's meant to be like that.
We've had no end of giggles about me producing my crazy balls for the public to play with etc. etc. ( The jokes are too easy. And just for the record, daydream came up with the name ! )

dogtown08:
Yeah I knew there where always going to be problems with the whole email thing and spam filters.
I didn't include the senders email address 'cause I don't want people thinking we're just farming email addresses ( Which we're not )

adit_ya_sharma:
Did say it was pure pimpware

dernalin:
Thanks mate

crashlanding:
:P

OneMrBean:
Glad you're one of the few who likes the music. I think it's a real love it or hate it tune.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to both play the game and post feedback, really grateful.

No I wasn't refering to that. What I was saying was when i hit the space bar and the "yellow thingie" came out it did not hitTest the edge of some of the big balls...

But maybe i'm just a crappy player...

[Squize]

Oh.

Yeah, you're just a crappy player

That, and the fact that the collision checking isn't mega accurate. I just use a straight forward bounding box hitTest ( With a rectangle within the baddies ) so I had to ignore the edges a little bit 'cause it look really poor the baddies dying if they were too far away from the yellow thingie.

A simple, but also nice game. It's fun to play.

[Squize]

Thanks

Sorry to bump this so harshly, but u/loaded a minor bug fix last night. I didn't realise that the hi-score input appeared every time, if you got a hi-score or not.
All better now though

Nice game that, graphics are awesome, really addictive too.

One thing I found though, was the cancel button in the email to friend section didn't work, so you have to email someone to get outta there.

On the whole though, great stuff!

[Squize]

Argh! This has been the most bug ridden game I've ever released

Fixed now though. Thanks a lot for pointing that one out mate, and I'm glad you liked it.

pang with globz!

fun game! found the 'rooted to the spot when shooting a spike up' a bit annoying at first - building a 'wall' then side stepping away from the incoming 'bubble' was my favourite tactic in pang - but the accurate collision detection meant this wasn't really a problem. cool stuff

looking forward to seeing the beach putting game!
