Mini shmup, play online now :)

Post by shmuper »

Hey guys, here is a link to a tiny shmup i just finished entitled Boss Fight. here are the things to keep in mind for getting a highscore :
shoot the core = more damage (faster kill = bigger bonus) and more points per hit.
eat bullets with your special attack, not just to get out of sticky situation but if timed right, to eat a whole lot of bullets at once and get crazy points.
get ready to hit retry a few times. :)
Have fun :)

Pretty nifty little shooter you have there and I liking the sound track awesome rock guitar.

One slight thing I would change is the hit box seems to be a bit on the large side.

It says I need to install a plugin for it to work. What plugin is this? I don't like randomly installing plugins ..

Its a plug in from Click Team which seems to be clean my scanner hasn't picked anything up though so should be ok I use Eset Nod32.

This is the second game today that needs a plug in for them to work.

You can buy the stand alone game as well just check the web site out.

It seems to need this one. Clickteam is a known company and not some fly-by-night trojan factory, though that doesn't necessarily mean that the plugin is free of inadvertent security holes that might be exploitable via a malicious file. They go to pains to state that it's "100% safe", but it's unlikely that they're actually in a position to guarantee that; they probably just mean that the API exposed to Vitalize apps can't do anything nasty. If a deliberately malformed file can smash the stack, all bets are off.

Indeed it kind *sucks* that it requires an additional plugin to be able to play it, but the plugin is small and worth it. Definitely Trojan free.

For the collision box, it wouldn't pass a Cave collision exam, but I didn't want to go that route. A bit more towards Axelay with a bit more forgiveness. :) Glad some of you like it.

Thanks for trying it out ! I am working on a 360 version with two additional difficulties. That should be out some time this year, maybe. A friend is handling the port.

I am also making a remake of Mini Shooter RS for those who've heard of it. working along with Pepo of Peposoft, we're going to take it to the next level. :)

Very good game in my opinion! I would like to see more of this? Maybe different bosses?
The attacks of the bosses were kinda fair, they required some memorization though ( sometimes I forgot about the green laser and got killed by it ).
Anyway, got to first place with score of 3.3 millions.

Edit: Improved to 3.46 millions.

The game was pretty good, nice art.

Unfortunately the plugin is a different story. I installed it with the plan to uninstall it after. To my surprise, there's no uninstall option. I am pissed.

I will mention that to the guys developing the engine and see what they say.

Sorry for that.

Okay.
This game is very good. While the plug-in might scare others, it is still a damn fine game. Graphics are very good ( boss sprite is awesome ) and the music rocks. The only problem I have is that it features only one boss. More bosses would be cool.
Also, increased by score to 4.3 millions.

Relying on a plugin is a bad idea, but relying on a plugin that cannot be uninstalled makes you guilty. Get rid of Vitalize, and I'll play your game.

Lolz. Awesome.

I just added a link to a Hall of Fame webpage so that you may share your glory without having to go inside the game. :]
http://www.mobossfight.com/bf_scores_july10.html
I will try to upload it once a week or as soon as something new happens in the ten top scores.
Hopefully in the future for my next game I should get a dynamic highscore page reading directly from the Sql database...

Again, Thanks for playing. :D
