Here's a game I made in Flash a few years ago. It's a lot harder than it appears at first! What's your high score?

If you are easily offended you might want to avoid looking at my other art, but all the games are relatively kid friendly.

I haven't had a go yet ,but i've put it on favs and i'll suggest it to the kids when their bored .

Its good but I would have polished the collision detection some more. I would hit things that I was confident perceptually were not near enough to hit me.

Yeah, well, suffah. It isn't going to get changed and here's why: I can't anymore. I don't have a version of Flash that will work on my new whizbang computer. I may get it again sometime when I'm flush with cash which happens every other decade or so.

The collision is being detected by a bounding box, not a shape identifying thing. So, yes, your perception of my crappy programming is correct!

I have gotten well over 1,000, so you guys aren't trying hard enough!

Good concept,tried it,but it wasn't challenging enough for me. But I like it.

Post up your score, THEN talk about challenging. If you have Mog's score(with a pic) you get to tell us its not challenging.

Ok. So, I beat your score...

I figured out why I did not get as far...until those last two games I played I did not know I had a rock smasher... hahahaha

Also, there is a bug where if your rock smasher count reaches zero you cant use them till you get an ammo crate with TWO rock smashers. Also, the count wont go down once this happens so it deceives you into thinking you have 4 rock smashers when you only have 1-2. That really got me good for a long good chunk of the game.

I liked those sneaky *******s that come from the top of the screen, ultimately while attempting to adjust to their random and FAST movement I did succumb to the rocks. Sad...

It IS fun though when you adjust to the collision mechanics.

NEW Score: 1445

That's an interesting little bug you found. Good score, too! It gets extremely difficult as you ascend the score, I forget what comes after the sneaky blue worms, though. The real trick with games like this is to have a persistent score page using a server or cgi script to save the scores, I never got that far since my ISP, earthlink, didn't support cgi with my cheapo website. My new website, paintoon.com probably will, I haven't checked yet.

I downloaded a test version of the latest Flash, however, it uses ActionScript 3.0, and this game was written in 2.0. I think for my sanity's sake I'd prefer to build new stuff than learn how to port old stuff into it. I might make another side-scroller like this but it isn't a priority to me. Flash can eat up as much time as you let it and ultimately I don't make money from it, so.....

Good hunting!

Who has high score? I'm terrible at it! Post a screen shot of your best!

Still available!

Who is the best? Screen shot or it didn't happen!
