Stick Soldiers

Hey everybody, Whitespace Unlimited (a friend and me ) have been working on a new game for about a week, and have reached the beta testing stage. So, we naturally came to the best site on the web where we could find critical opinions galore. Anywayz, it would be very helpful if you could test it out and tell us what u think of it (preferably including machine specs and FPS). It's a single-player 2D side-scrolling action game called Stick Soldiers, where your objective is to capture the flag and bring it to a flag-stand (a little box with a pic of a flag on it) 3 times. I'm gonna work on better victory conditions, but for now, that's the best I can do. I suggest you read Manual.rtf before running the game, as the controls are anything but intuitive Also, I have only tested this on an Athlon 1.2 with GF2 and 256mb RAM, and I get 100fps steady. I think ideal running conditions for the game are Win98 with a greater-than-800 P3/Athlon - not because it's graphically intensive or anything, just because i haven't optimized it yet It has not been tested for WinXP. P.S. It's all black-and-white and grayscale cos' that's what stick soldiers look like when u draw them on paper P.P.S. AI is kinda dumb also... And finally - here's the link: Stick Soldiers Have fun --------------- I finally got it all together... ...and then forgot where I put it.

I think its strange that I have games which look like movies which are pushing the boundries of technology with motion captured animations, and have cost millions of dollars to make...and I am ignoring them all to play this

If you cant have a multiplayer side to the game, how about having a top 10 player score locally which people can brag about online. Sure it means people can bullshit scores, but it does give a bit of competition to people. It could be based on: Amount of enemys * difficulty - deaths + frags - time to win.

Also, do you have a page that has these other 5 or 6 games that you said you have made?
