+atari2600land Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 In case you don't read my blog, I've been working on a 2k 2600 game called "i" in which you are a lowercase i and you use your dot to slay the other vowels coming your way. Just thought I'd share this little game with you. Haven't decided whether to put it in the Minigame Compo or not. i2k.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The letters can get stuck outside the box: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The shooting is too complicated, IMO it would be better to shoot as soon as you move the joystick while the fire button is pressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I thought I had fixed the problem about the letters being outside of the field. I'll change the shooting, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I changed the shooting. I don't know if the letters will appear (and stay) outside the box or not. They should appear outside the box if you've just shot one or got hit by one, and then move their way inward. i.bas.bin i.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beoran Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Interesting! I'm having some problems with the bullet getting stuck and firing getting disabled. Otherwise, it's an unusual, original idea, so keep up the good work! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Very unique idea - the i shooting it's dot is funny. Instead of shooting the vowels, how about shooting the other letters in "atari", with the fuji as a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Latest build. I worked on the shooting a little bit. Please report any bugs/suggestions. i.bas.bin i.bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beoran Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It's already better... but to be honest, it's also a bit frustrating because the opponent letter moves around without stopping, which makes aiming more difficult than it should be. Also, perhaps the enemy should shoot back at you, from time to time, for more variation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 The shooting is better now but IMO the shooting sound is quite annoying. I think it shouldn't play the whole time the dot flies over the screen, just a short shooting sound after firing would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impaler_26 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks, the shooting sound is much better now! The game is pretty challenging but that's good, it shouldn't be too easy. Can't think of anything else to improve at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
