NOTE: THIS WEEKS GAME HAS ENDED!

GORF

Game Info
GORF consists of four levels. The first level has you behind a defensive shield, defending against an alien attack. The level is a top-down view, with your ship & shield on one side and the aliens on the other side. This is the Space Invader style gameplay, as the alien vessels approach closer and closer in their threatening row formation.

The second level is similar to the first, only your defensive shield is gone, and the enemies tend to swoop down over the level as opposed similar to Galaxian.

The third level is a change, and has you entering hyperspace. Your only goal is to survive to the end of your journey. The viewpoint switches from a top-down view to a behind-the-ship view and in effect you are heading "towards" your destination. Alien vessels flying in circular formation try to stop you.

The fourth and final level is similar to the first again, with some key differences... You fight not a wave of enemies, but a single one. A mothership with a glowing weak spot. Hitting the weak spot will instantly destroy it. The mothership also has that same shield that was yours in the first level.

For my first attempt a wimpy 6,640.

[darthkur]

21,900

Gorf is another one of my all time favorites. It's a shame that the Galaxians level was left off on all of the home versions.

[duncantoml]

56,760 - Mission 45

I'll have to raise it later when I have more time.

[Mister VCS]

18,800

suggestion for Patch-Challenge: 1 bonus point for promotion to status "Space Avenger" (screen-shot)

the "Flag-ship" level is lame-it looks like that the player could score endless points by firing at the
flag-ship-enemies or the ship himself without a time limit! Does this game make sense?

The two gorfians that accompany the flagship are never replenished after they are destroyed until the next flagship board. Granted you could fire at the ship for 10 points per plink or the incoming shots but what fun would that be?

I'll second the vote for the Space Avenger bonus though.

[theking21083]

I added the patch challenge. At what level do you reach Space Avenger?

Upon completion of mission 20 you are awarded the illustrious title of Space Avenger. I just missed it by two boards on my last submission. I'll get there though.

first attempt 24,560 - Space Warrior. I think I can do better when I have another go tonight

[Ikrananka]

I seem to either be in a minority or a one off - I hate this game on the CV. Just seems poorly balanced with the invaders screen being manically fast and the the laser attack screen ridiculously slow. The collision detection on the laser attack stage also seems to be way off.

Anyway, I'll persevere - maybe it'll grow on me if I get better. So far a lowly score of 12,460.

[darthkur]

31,000 Mission 23

Not as great as I was hoping for but at least I did obtain the bonus point by surviving until the point of being awarded Space Avenger status.






Since these multi-board games are such fun might I suggest either James Bond 007 or Looping for the next game? If not the next round perhaps sometime in the near future.
