LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 This game is really great! You really should be proud of it. If I saw the game before this thread I couldn't say this is a homebrew or a comany developed game! I like very much when an arcade game is ported or when a good hack improves some original game. But this is different as many said before this game stands on its own, you've made an awesome game, I'm glad you changed its name. I'm looking foward to buying a copy when it's done. And I can't wait to see another games with this engine. Don't forget to release the code in a free software license, better than releasing in public domain.

Necron99 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I keep checking up on this one. great game, keep up the good work! looking forward to the release of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The box art is AWESOME. Very retro - almost Peter Max. I like the new name as well. No disrespect intended but this game is NOT the Great Giana Sisters by any stretch of the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack-c0s Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looking great! Say I think the 2600 just got a brand new mascot! Speaking of mascots - am I the only one who thinks this looks like an animated version of the 2012 Olympic mascots (although with the important difference of not being rubbish)? looks cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Still think Blinky in the Drinky is a better title. I love the box art. I really want to see this come to fruition. I'm also eager to hear the game now that it has SFX. Would you consider doing a limited run poster of the art work? I'd seriously love this framed in my living room!

DemonoidTentacle Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It's been a while since I've checked this thread. I dig the box art. I'd buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Hermanns Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce, that "Blinky goes up" will be released officially at the Gamescom 2012 in Cologne. It is "...the worlds largest trade fair and event highlight for interactive games and entertainment" - http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/ I'm there on Wednesday (15.Aug) and on Saturday (18.Aug) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Great. But... How can I bring Blinky down, or better South, here in Brazil? Will it be avaible somewhere else? And how much will it cost? Have you got some pics you can show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubelindo Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow! Looks awesome! I'm waiting for the release after the Cologne fair I'm in for sure, I hope I don't miss the release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Hermanns Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Ok folks, it's time for the world premiere of Blinky goes up. As of now you can download the PAL/NTSC ROM images and you can register yourself for the cartridge release. Without further ado http://www.lov3machine.com/blinky/index.html Have fun! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorsten Günther Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wow, simply wow. Just stumbled over this thread after watching this Gameswelt.TV report (featuring a short interview with you at 32:33). I believed a game with these mechanics to be possible on the VCS for some time now, but couldn't hope for it to become reality. Even though this is "only" a 4K title, I will buy a cart, as there are far too few good homebrew VCS titles exploiting the VCS' scrolling capability.

+Propane13 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Might be a redundant question-- how many levels are there? -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorsten Hi Thorsten, thank you for pointing to the Gameswelt.tv interview - I probably had never seen it because I lost their business card.

KevinMos3 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 This looks great and I have to thank you for sharing the Rom. I was trying it out last night on the harmony cart and the one thing that bothers me is the lack of a jumping sound for blinky. That omission makes it seem incomplete imo. Otherwise, great job.

KevinMos3 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am officially completely stumped... Any hints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am officially completely stumped... Any hints? I just arrived the same level and couldn't pass beyond. Tried everything... and discover the frying efect of the game is unlimited lives plus bad sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Hermanns Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am officially completely stumped... Any hints? There is a special maneuver called "Airwalk". Just run over the edge of any platform and press fire while Blinky is running/falling and he'll perform a jump then! Too bad, I hadn't time to finish the manual. I'm sorry!
