Be warned!

This is the kind of game that comes about when it's a long, boring day at work,
with 0 customers and nothing to do. My brain was slowly frying in the extreme
heat, and thus the idea for this bizarre little game came about!
(It only took me 2 days to make it)



This is an RTS game(Sort of) where the main brunt of the strategy is in upgrading
your troops in between fights. I actually had a blast play testing this, lol.

Use ESC to Exit, any key to skip through text scenes, and Left and Right Arrow
Keys to move your army left and right(Not that you often have to).


Have fun ;)

Interesting idea.

Looks like brownian motion, without reverse?

Runs a bit slow for me, although my machine is old and slow anyway.

Reminds me of stratego.

Maybe work it into a screensaver?

It runs in slow motion at first, but speeds up as more fella's get killed ;)
Not sure why I did it like that, it just seemed to fit.

A screensaver would be cool.

Didn't have any patience for this. It starts off very slow. I was pressing left and right and it didn't seem to have much impact.

The text should be aligned to the left or right. Its difficult to read!

I like the pixel-y, oldskool graphics.

Had to start the task-manager to quit it. Esc didn't work.

Ya somethings up in the code there Werdna.. it runs quite sluggish on my shitty laptop thats for sure...

Werdna, you are a bit Weird you know? :)

I tried your game and had a lot of fun playing it! The concept is interesting and I liked the humor !

nice one!


WERDNA(Posted 2010) [#7]
@TWH Left and right don't have much impact, period ;)
They don't really achieve much until you have only a few guys left, and then it's only to
aim the little fella's at your few remaining foes, and hope they don't die when they
collide.

You mean the text that appears on the little guys?
I agree with that, I'd also like to make it slightly bigger I think.

All the graphics(For the little guys anyways) are done using a 10x10 pixel paint brush. I rather like how they turned out myself, lol.

ESC works, you just have to hold it down. I'm using KeyDown instead of KeyHit ;)

@Skully
It probably runs so slow since it has to deal with 82 little fella's, all moving and colliding
with each other at once. I didn't bother to do anything fancy to fix the FPS, because
I like how it starts out slow and then increases as you kill more little guys. However
I can see it running a little bit Too slow on a lower end computer! I could perhaps
fix the FPS problems, and put in some 'fake' FPS problems so it still runs slow like
I want it to, but has a limit as to how slow it can go.

@alain
Yeah, I know I'm a tad weird. people call me Weirdna sometimes. That's what makes
me such an inventive fella ;)

Glad you liked the game. I like it quite a bit myself!

@Everyone
I may or may not make any fixes to this game. I'm personally rather happy with how
it turned out, and it really was just a throw away project. Something to program while
I was bored :)

Although I would like to do a sequel of some sort in the future, with a lot of new
stuff and online play.

Cheers folks!

Thanks for playing it!
