It's back, and it's bad. Seriously, it's horrible. Anyway, as some of you may recall, I started a project several years ago called 'Orbit'. The game revolved around a cute little yellow ball-like creature who would mindlessly jump from platform to platform and destroy enemies. The first game died horribly. The second game was popular for about eight seconds, in which two spin-offs (Spin and Gyro) were made, and some sad person went and made 'fan' art. I also made a 2-bit version of the game with a cheesy story to it, but it, like its predecessors, died horrifically in a hard drive explosion. Now however, I'm re-creating the project from scratch.

What's this?! WORKING slopes?! Also note the repetative tiling
in the background that is supposed to represent mountains.

Wow, like...OTHER platforms....also note the awful
pseudo-parallaxing on the clouds..

BALLOON!

Anyway, as you can see, the game is already at 'craptacular' stage, and a demo will be released shortly. Feel free to steal my excellent tiles from the screenshots and sell them off to other companies. Peace out.

When working on it the first time I decided there might be a short storyline, but it would not give Orbit a backstory. If you have a good idea that's pretty 'open', I might use it though. Logged

Previously I had double-jump and super-jump (Where after jumping you could charge up a more powerful jump), but I'm not sure whether to add them in or not. Also I need ideas for bosses, nothing too complex...there's very little you can do with a guy who can only jump and roll... Logged

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 413	Thanks for all your overly optimistic comments guys, they're the only positive thing you'll have to hang onto once you realise how awful the game is. Though if you really want to help, go find me some public domain (e.g. classical) MIDI file that would suit the first level. I'm lookng for something short, yet 'bouncy' and optimistic. Any ideas would be appreciated too. Logged
