So the second Game & Demo Game Design Competition has gone into its competition phase. There are a total of seven entries, and all this week I will be posting each entry for you to enjoy.

The entrants had to create a game, simply, with their own graphics.

The first game to be posted is Cowmageddon, an entry from crumply. It's made in flash, so there is no download involved.

So here it is, crumply's Cowmageddon.


Enjoy, either leave your crits here or go to the official topic over in the Game & Demo.

The topic giving information for the upcoming entries is here.
The progress topic for the competition can be found here.

Well, I'm impressed with the cool graphics and the music is pretty catchy (who made it?) but there are a lot of problems!

1. Considering there is only one song to play, you should have made  a better effort to make the arrows line up better with the beat. A lot of it was just half beats that were a little off time from the actual beat.

2. There's no instruction/indication of which colored area we should be timing our arrow presses to (kdjfkj this is such a horrible sentence but I don't know how to fix it). Green? The center? Which part of the arrow should be touching that part for the best timing?

3. A lot of double arrows (especially left and right) gave me  X despite the fact that I pressed the correct combo. Seems like some sort of bug.

4. Do you have to get like every single note correct to win? The pauses in the song drop the crate by about 1/3 of the screen down!

The music is Stupid MF by Mindless Self Indulgence.

p.s. I will make better beat-matching in the full version.

You know... my brother is borrowing my headphones (expensive shit, I prefer them over speakers)... and considering the song (which I have said to be one of the worst songs of all time on several occasions)... it's probably a good thing.
