Title: John and the Evil Pet: Snickers' Rampage
Post by: Walnut on May 08, 2006, 02:41:03 am: Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's baaaaaaaaaack. Last night Leviathan and I were talking over AIM, and for one reason or another, he asked if he could play JatEP. (I think, I don't remember exactly :P) So I end up going through my files, find him the demo... Yada yada yada. Lo and behold, sitting in the mess that is my Angelfire account, is a copy of my source. So... it's back :D

If you were a ZFGC regular in 2003, you'll remember this. If not, try it, it's fun :P The game's about some random kid named John (Note: I am not named John. I picked John because it's a generic name) who decides to buy a cat... Unfortunately, he buys Lord Snickers herself. Snickers takes control of the Rod of Time, and starts to run amuck with time. John brought this evil upon the Earth (Or technically the postman did...) so it's up to him to stop Snickers.

Genre: Platformer (With Adventure Fields, ala Sonic Adventure, although at the moment they're bare)
Players: 1 (Duh)
Estimated Playtime: (Demo 3) 45 minutes (Snickers boss) 3 minutes

SCREENSHOTS

I whipped these up real quick by request of Leviathan, so I could make this topic >_>

DEMOS

Demo 3: http://www.angelfire.com/ego2/walnut100/JatEPSR.zip
Snickers Boss (This demo just shows off a beta version of Snickers, who happens to be the Level 4 boss): http://www.angelfire.com/ego2/walnut100/Snickers_Boss.zip

Demo 3 includes 3 levels of gameplay, The Bedroom, The Dungeon, The Beach (Sand Francisco), along with two bosses. Demo 4 is to add The Forest, another boss, a whole mess of bug fixes, and some improvements in graphics (If you haven't noticed, the Beach has some graphical improvements over Demo 3 ;))

Feedback is always welcome. Also, bugreports can help. I know more about coding than I did in 2003, so I can probably fix up some of the bugs... I already worked out a buggy enemy in the Forest >_> Oh and one other thing... Don't hit Enter unless you want a menu to popup that you can't close. It was something that I overlooked when I went to finish Demo 3.

The game's not supposed to be pretty. Honestly, the whole thing started so I could fit in with the rest of ZFGC... Making fangames and such. As for Snickers... I think she's running from the FBI right now. :P

As far as the game goes, last night I fixed the horribly glitchy enemy I call "Camo Cats". They're probably about 50% coded now, but that 50% coding isn't bugged to Hell like it was in 2004, so huzzah :D

So why's your game more than a walking engine? :o

A tip if you guys decide to play the demo, when you reach Level 2, Dungeon, time your jumps on the small platforms or you'll be free falling all the way back to the beginning. (I've done it just about 100000 times >_>)

Post by: Drew on May 08, 2006, 10:10:26 pm: OMFG, I love this game ^__^
You might recall me saying "Hey remember your game I just beat it again, go make it again" XD
Every time I got bored or was waiting, I'd play it, it was just that good.
Walnut, I hope you continue on this amazing game, best of luck to keep it as good as it is at the moment :D

Post by: InvaderLupus on May 27, 2006, 09:01:58 pm: wow, this REALLY brings back memories. Although it looked great then (in my eyes at least), it looks like the graphics need some major improvements. Still a great, classic game though.
