New Globs Game Released for Testing!

Howdy Everypeoples!

I just got done with my new game and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to head over to my website and test it out for me?

http://www.jacksmack.com/index.php?act ion=playgame&gameid=1087

I'm not quite ready to put it on Newgrounds and let it off into the wild yet. I want to make sure there are no major bugs that I haven't found yet.

From what feedback I have gotten so far this is an extremely addicting game that I have made so please take some time and tell me what you like about it and what you hate about it.

ALSO IF YOU FIND A BUG OR SOMETHING YOU THINK IS A BUG TELL ME FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY TELL ME! I want this thing to be fun for anyone.

It will lag a bit on slower computers just a heads up on that. I have optimized it as much as I can at the moment. I will have to rip appart the code to optimize it more but I tested it on the slowest computer I could and it was still playable so... Might stay this way we will see.

Anyway please enjoy my new game and tell me what you think.

(To MindChamber: This isn't the epic project that I am working on that one is still coming.)

I tried the game, it's actually pretty good. But it needs something, it just the same repetitive style. I got pretty bored after the first 3 levels.

Nice game though.

Yes I agree it needs more. I plan on making several games in the Globs line. This is just the first one.

I can't give you particulars on what else is in the works but it will make the game have a lot more depth.

At the moment what I am going for is the feel of playing soliare or minesweeper. Something simple enough to play but can get challenging later on in the game.

I agree with pie it's a good idea but a bit too repetative. I still kind of liked it though.

Add some stuff. Repetitive clicking, changing colors and what nots is boring. Maybe make the globs look more fun. Explosions of glob when you beat the level, I have no idea. Just go somewhere with it, do things.

Random ideas courtesy of your raving (as in the first dictionary.com definition) blog-reader.

Have a good day sir.

Its a really fun game and has the potential to be a huge hit but its lacking something and I'm too tired to think of what it needs..

JackSmack 2008-08-03 00:34:55

Hmmm... I was playing through it againg and I think i want to make the continue screens and game over screens look a little nicer...

I think it just needs some nice polish at this point to really sing and make people like it.

I know it's repeditive like everyone else is saying but it is suppose to be... It's not a go kill people game or anything it only has 6 buttons that all do pretty much the same thing :)

Anyway. If you come up with any ideas let me know. I'm going to be working on this tomorrow a little bit along side build a robot 3.

This would make a great game on the iphone. Pretty fun, could use with glob things that work as power ups, such a white one that connects whatever color is next to it with yours as well. Or a black one that changes some of them around it to the color you chose. Idk.

JackSmack 2008-08-03 06:10:33

Thanks for the feedback! I could make a glob that randomly chooses a glob around it and changes the color of that one perhaps... Or perhaps globs that change color through a cycle so you have to time it right.

I also thought about Globs where you have less colors and you still have to obsorb other colors... so you would have red yellow and blue and then you have to touch red and blue to a purple glob to obsorb it... though the slowdown is pretty bad right now I would need to recode the system I am using...

Anyway if this is a hit I will be putting more effort behind it right away. In the mean time I'm going to shine it up and send it out if I don't get a good sponsorship deal.

Awesome game. but the level dificulty needs to be spread more even. The first 3 or 4 levels are really easy, then it instantly got kinda hard. But beside the point, i loved it.

Pedochu 2008-08-03 13:24:24

Cool game, nice concept. The thing that bothered me most was the music, that needs to be changed. And maybe add some special globs with powerups or something. Looks like a game that would be good for the iphone. And I think its really awesome how you're an artist who can program well. Nice job!

JackSmack 2008-08-03 13:24:24

Yeah the whole programming thing came about through being thrown into the fire at work where it was learn to program or lose your job. So I learned and I am glad I did.

I am putting the final touches on the game and it should be released on Newgrounds soon. I really want to make it as polished as I can. The current game style is the style that will be released first. There are going to be powerups in later versions though I have a pretty cool system worked out that shouldn't be to hard to implement.

As far as the Iphone thing goes... I will have to look into it. I don't know how well it would play on there and seeing as I don't have an Iphone to test it on it might be a bit difficult to set up.
