i made a game!

I made a new game with Blitzmax, but due to its slightly/possibly offensive(puerile) nature i'll not post anything other than a link to my site, i like this place, and i don't want to get booted out or anything. You have been warned!

I'd like also to take this opportunity to thank Brucey for the intel mac and linux builds.

Currently there is only one level, but it's a really good one, and i'm sure you all value quality over quantity, either way let me know what you think...

lol, congrats! The giant love sack is pretty funny. This actually looks like a decent shooter!

haha. nice hit! I love the tune.

Yeh, the tune brings back memories of my Amiga in cotton panties.

wow that is really creative and painful at the same time... I can see your reasoning for not posting screenies

i dont know how else to say it but, this game is AMAZING!!!!!

hmmm, well its definately interesting and creative. love the retro style very well done there, haven't tried it yet but it looks funny. probably give it a shot later.

definately not something i would have thought to cum up with though... i'm on a roll ;-)

Yeah good to see you've made a decent game instead of dicking around. It's also good that you've been creative and said "Balls" to convention.

Works well on my system. Can I ask what sort of timing method you are using?

Jason.

Looks like a load of boll..... um, best not. :)

You're quite strange, aren't you? ;)

[edit] I was going to say bollards. Yes, bollards.

I want to try it out but for some reason the player seems to fly to the top corner and stay there automatically, as if I have a joystick held down or something (which I don't - I don't even have a joystick). I'm not sure what the problem is but I have a feeling it could be to do with joystick support.

On the other hand, it looks surprisingly good; you've pulled off the 8 bit retro theme really well.

Thanks all for the comments. i had a cool shooter written, but no graphics or theme, and a friend suggested i use images of genitals. i couldn't think of anything else so that kind of stuck.

@quicksilva, no timing methods really, just a graphics 800,600,0,60. there really isn't enough going on to slow the game down so i didn't bother with delta timing.

@spacerat, that seems weird. have you got another keyboard you can try? i'm pretty sure it's not joystick related...

LOL. oh my word, best lookin 8 bit game ever! haha....

just tried it good fun, good laughs, good retroness.

all in all, its a very ballsy game and i hope any critiques aren't to hard on you :-o

good job

You should have a frog as the main boss to go along with all them pale tadpoles.

One thing I forgot to mention was that I was getting a slight delay (1-2 seconds) with the sound effects on Vista. This can be fixed by using OpenAL as I assume that you are not at the moment.

With regards to no timing, with your other game Bullet Candy did you do the same thing as that runs well too and is very graphic intensive. Just curious...

Jason.

I'll look into sound on Vista, thanks for the tip. BASS is free for freeware isn't it? i preffer that to OPENAL.

Bullet Candy wasn't doing anything fancy either, it just look intensive ;)

Interesting, so your games use no fancy timing methods but still run great. I wonder what the lowest specs are that your games run well on after all, Bullet Candy is the sort of game that would slow a computer down without proper timing in place. Anyway, sorry for going slightly off topic.

Jason.

File this under cult classics. Indie gaming needs more quality totally left-field games like this.

Vid looks awesome. Loving the music, too.

LOL. I wonder what has inspired you.

i think it was drink...

Ah the muse of many.

LOL that's hardcore. Stupid graphics but damn good gameplay :)

lol, never would I have ever imagined that I would see a game about male genitilia... Moral of the story... Never say never! :D

Very odd indeed! ;)

Well, the idea was really to get some hits to my site and letting players know that the site exists and that i write fun games, as i'm writing another more serious game that i want people to know about.

Space Phallus has a silly name, and sillier graphics, designed to get people onto the site. when they play the game, and realize it's more than just silly pictures of willies then i hope that people will return to the site to see what else i've got to offer and what is in the pipeline etc. and subscribe to the RSS feed.

Seems to be working so far...

Cheers
Charlie

Yeah :)) I'm still playing it :)
