[post mortem] virus - a drawing API game

[greystone227]

Definitely has a great visual style, and kudos for making them all in the drawing API (I agree, it must really be a pain in the a** to do that, haha - but it's definitely worth it).

The whole game seems a little too "by the book" though. It feels like I'm playing some generic arcade shooter - the visuals are really the only thing that stand out to me. I would try to implement some defining feature that sets your game apart (other than the visuals).

gee, thanks.

I must admit it is just that, a very basic shooter, I also have to admit that I just built it around a visual idea. Though, that is more than you can expect from your general flash game.

Some of the missings things (or defining features) have been dropped in order to meet the comps deadline. The project outline contained some 15 more things I wanted to add, but couldn't in time.
I think I would have added them already, but since then I've been slaving from one project to the next, leaving nearly next to no time for this.

cheers, nGFX

I think I just found a bug? The game keeps resetting when those "super mines" have been on screen for a few seconds, or right when I kill the mine deployer... it goes back to the add before the main screen...

It says "file not found".

Probably because the thread is 2 years old...

Bah, I always forget to check dates after using search D:

The game should still be on there, that's odd.

We'll upload it somewhere and link back to it here.
