I picked this up recently on a trip to Frys to grab a new usb stick, since I promised my wife I'd get something for her when I went.

Now we're both hooked.

Aside from somewhat repetitive music, which can be forgiven, and reusing the same backgrounds a lot, its very well made.

The visuals all fit in, animation is nicely done and makes use of vector movement vs frames animation. Additional plant unlocking is nicely paced between the levels, and overall the variety of plants and zombies makes up for a somewhat static backdrop.

Even MJ makes his way onto your yard, what more can you ask for?

So if you haven't played it yet, try it out.

In other news, I would have a simple vid of what I've done in GLBasic reguarding* translating Rick Jason, but some how the file was corrupted or I used the wrong codec. Oh well.

Menu screen is done, which was easy.

Player control and shooting took a moment, but works nicely. So next on the list is to create the first enemy, enemy fire, and collisions. Say what you will about basic, but GLBasic seems to be one powerful tool.

*Did this on purpose.
