Shoot the Bs (a 2k 2600 game)

[+atari2600land]

OK, for those of you who don't visit the bB forum: #1. You really should, and #2. I'm at it again, working on a 2k game called "Shooting the Bs." I want this to be as good as it possibly can, so any recommendations for changes you'd like to see are highly valued and sought after by me.

I'll check this out on my Harmony cart this afternoon!

I made it so there's now two lines of clouds. There's now only 6 bytes left if I want to keep it at 2k. And also, any feedback would be appreciated.

I changed the color and added a couple more game modes. 0 bytes left!

When I first saw your thread, I read the title as "Shoot the BS". I really didn't know what to make of that.

 

I like the game options. It's good having multiple modes. It's definitely very challenging. Having the clouds kill you in mode 3 kicks my butt.

 

BTW, why don't the Cs and Bs get along? How long has this rivalry been taking place? Is it because the Cs came after the Bs and they think they're better? Or are the Bs uppity because they're closer to As? What does that mean for Zs, if anything?

Questions... questions.

I got the idea after thinking about a comic I drew about the Land of Gs and the day the H came. I changed this to Bs and Cs so I could have the pun "Shooting the Bs" (i.e. Shooting the Breeze.")

Entered into what seems to be the 2010 Minigame Compo. (Apparently Dr. Beep is holding it this year. There was only one other 2k game in the 2k games, so I felt Stratego was kind of lonely.)

"Shoot the B's" added!

(and yes "Stratego" felt lonely!)
