+atari2600land Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 I found that on some backgrounds, it's difficult to see the score, so I introduced the info bar. Is it a good idea or should I get rid of it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Made the info bar smaller. Download it at the official site in my signature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 I would like to add four more backgrounds. I e-mailed Clint and he never wrote back. I also PMed Albert about the possibility of publishing the game. He said he'd play it and gave me feedback. That never happened. Why won't anyone ever answer me? Anyway, the only work I did is adding temporary artwork in the game that I stole from Google Images. The second one is part of my Desktop picture. I never changed it since I got the computer 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed your last e-mail, only have 67,000 inbox lol just a 1,000 shy from everyone's favorite Motorola processor but I don't ever mean to intentionally avoid or not respond to anyone so don't take it personally. Life is always busy and time escapes me., sadly. Will get some more made up for you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 WIP background #5: I also made a new title screen song with actual notes in it. Somehow it is smaller in size than the old one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Background #5 darkened. I changed the bomb to a lightning strike looking laser thing. I put a dark outline around it so it should be visible if the background is darkly or lightly colored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks, playing now.. Glad this is still available. Are you still working on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 I wasn't, but I could continue. I just need some feedback on what to do next. I just got everything unpacked from my website, it seems as though switching to a new RB+ folder erased all I had, but I now have it installed and running as of the last version I had.

+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Every 4th or 5th level could be a boss battle. Depends on what the average lifespan of a game is. If it's about 10 levels before all lives are gone, I'd hit a boss battle every 4th level to keep it exciting. If not, then mini bosses every 3 levels with a big boss on level 9. Make level 10 a bonus or power up stage so you can keep the numbers flowing the same throughout every set of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Have a bonus round of imposter aardvarks that resemble aaron attacking from top down. They'd have red glowing eyes or black armor to distinguish them from Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Probably not cool, but make one of the bosses resemble the corona virus and have Aaron destroy it to save the world ? Or have him fight a giant head. Love those.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Add a level timer of sorts and have the background break away in pieces in intervals as the stage progresses. Behind it could be some hot chicks or something to make the player fight hard to get to the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Could add a horizontal flying ship occasionally at the top of the screen for huge bonus points or that drops a shield power up once destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Add a meteor storm like in Songbird's Protector. Almost impossible not to get killed. Could balance the play (or tip it so much in one direction) that a player couldn't build up too many lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Add a shotgun ? Or, a darker, rainy stage with thunder and lightning. Could add some night stages, winter and hurricane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Death animations. When aaron takes a laser, have it splatter him all over the place. If a ufo makes it to the ground, have a little green man emerge and death ray his ass... again, splattering him all over. At the successful end of a stage, have aaron do some ridiculous victory dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Have the ants go apeshit once in a while and attack. Watch as millions of them emerge from the mound and engulf him. Have them chew on him for a few seconds then vacate leaving some bleached bones. On that note, when they do attack, have a can of ant spray fall from the sky. aaron must collect it and napalm the ants with it before he's ripped to shreds.

+Saturn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 When aaron dies, have a cheesy looking aardvark ghost float to top of screen and disappear. Put a cutscene in after every boss/miniboss battle with aaron sitting at a table in a dark bar smoking a J with some hot aardvark chick.
