Post by genecyst »

Hi guys, i want to show you my last gba game. it's been released yesterday for neoflash 2013 competition.

Powerpig is a puzzle-platformer for gba.
You are armed with a gravity gun, which gives you the possibility to carry on your shoulders anything you find.
This gun is powered by coins.
In the up left corner, coloured in green you got the gun charge, collect coins before it runs out of energy if you want to stay alive.

D-pad: move around
A-button: jump
B-button: use your gravity gun

More coins/enemies you carry more points you get.

The scoring system and music are in an alpha state and not properly set up.
i'll putting more detailed explanations in my blog very soon!

Will certainly give this new GBA platformer/puzzler a spin. Holy Hell was a delight to play indeed.

Hi guys, thanks a lot for playing this game... and for remembering holy hell. i'm very happy about it!

I'm just working at a second release of powerpig with some bugfixes that i haven't been able to correct in time for the deadline of the contest (continuous jump for first... a serious scoring system... ).

I'll keep you updated. thanks again.

Wonderful games genecyst! I played them on the pc but will throw them on my GBA flash player tomorrow to play them as intended.

Any thought on putting these on Playstation Mobile? I believe the dev kit is free now and I know they are already higher quality than some of the tripe out there.

Keep up the great work

thanks, i'm not updated about ps mobile, my knowledge stops around ps2...:D i'll give it a look.
i'm almost ready with powerpig 1.1 that will fix some stuff like the annoying continous jump, added more levels and some other extra.

Will give it a try one of these days, but I still could use A Werefolf Tale with more palatable music and tweaked colour scheme.
Kudos for keeping the sprites small. Too many GB(C/A) games look more blown up than necessary.

I've got an incomplete version of a werewolf tale with a lot of power ups, new music, and incomplete boss fights that's resting in my computer waiting to be finished... sadly i'm stuck with bad boss fights and i don't want to release the new version until they're done...

let me know if you would like to try it out anyway, i can send you the rom in exchange of a serious feedback!! :)

Quit making these! I spend too much time playing your games. Loved this one quite a lot.
