+atari2600land Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I got sick of waiting for that contest, so I'm releasing it now. This is my 3.55k game (3,641 bytes, to be exact) I call Larry the Fly Swatter. I made this in INTY Basic, as a way to prove that games that use just 4k are possible with INTY Basic. I'd like some feedback on the game. (Don't say add music. That takes up a lot of code.) larry_the_flyswatter_2021october16.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian's Man Cave Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Interesting game, feels like a classic Atari 2600 game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 It's actually kinda challenging and fun. The fly moves erratically, as a fly should. I like the sound effect when I nail him. – Can the fly's wings beat faster? Like really fast? As I said, his movement is good, but the wings remind me more of a bird. – The fly swatter should snap faster when trying to swat the fly. You gotta be quick to get those guys. – The sound is more like static than the crack of a fly swatter. Maybe just a shorter sound would do the trick. No music = good! When I'm sneaking up on a fly and moving in for the kill, I don't want any distractions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Changes. - fly's wings move faster. - fly swatter snaps faster. - changed the sound of the fly swatter swatting. - added a game over sound. - any button (even # keys) starts the game. And it's still 3.5 k! larry.rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's definitely better. Since you've enabled game start with any button, you I guess may as well allow swatting with the lower-left button, too. One thing: if I'm swatting when the timer runs out, sometimes the swat sound persists until the next game starts. Let the fly swatting competition begin!

+atari2600land Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 More changes. + Fly swatting now can be done with any button. + Fly swatting noise cancelled (Sound 0,0,0) in Game Over loop. larry.rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik's Arcade Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Great job! Just like Brain stated, this has a classic Atari 2600 feel to it, which goes right along with your avatar...haha. Just like in real life, I suck at swatting flies! I usually need to get a towel, which has a a much bigger range. In 3 games, I only managed to swat a total of 3 flies...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Changed the wall crack placement and flyswatting sound. Here is my highest score: larry.rom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
