Competition Game

Posted by Mush on March 27, 2008, 8:39 p.m.

Above is the title screen for my competition entry, Swine.

Story:

You are a scientist living on a distant planet where the "Health Disease" is spreading throughout the land, infecting the many pigs that roam the grass-covered hills. Because you need pigs to test your experiments on, you invent a cure for the Health Disease and fit the pills with metal legs to join you in your journey of total vaccination.

Gameplay:

Swine is a platform-shooter with elements of the games Pikmin and my other project, Mo'W. You will use the pills that follow you to shoot at infected pigs, decreasing the "Health" bar which indicates the prominence of the disease on the planet.

Music:

Because I have to use music I made myself, I was forced to use my Jungle song. (the only complete song I've made.) HERE The bass sounds on beats 1 and 3 are to help keep time since the game is based on pressing the right button at the right time.

not bad idea, and nice spriting. Only thing is that "health disease" is ironic…

Lol, I love it! The scientist's design is really cool, great job!

The sprites are nice, but get rid of the black stroke of the gray parts.

basil: The bottoms are metallic so I added high contrasted colors to give the effect. I used this tutorial: http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4897&KW=metal&PN=1

The problem is, you're using the effect only for the unsaturated parts. I suggest using a dark gray.

Uh, shouldn't the pills look more..

Capsular? I mean, make them a bit taller.

Nice shading, though. :D

The Scientist's floating thing has an awkward line job. You might want to fix that up.

Also, animate the hair. That would add a

great effect!

So how is it tied with entropy?

You've got the concept wrong, when the variable decreases the game is supposed to be LOST. I'll clear that up in the news post.
