Plan for Josh Moore

by Josh Moore · 09/19/2005 (2:27 pm) · 22 comments

I already wrote a .plan for this, but my music player crashed my computer while uploading my screenshots.

For my first Game in a Day, I decided to go with the theme and make a simple T2D game based on impaling.

I came up with a game where you control an impalation spike(or spikes) at the bottom of the screen and objects fall from the top of the screen and you get points for impaling them. For the objects that you impale, I decided to use famus pop-culture icons.

At first I had a nice green grass and blue sky background, but my impalation effect wouldn't blend right with it so I switched to a plain black background. The new background was way too boring by itself, so I added a "fire pit" to the bottom of the screen. I made a simple level system that spawns lightning bolts(to confuse you a bit) and drops more heads for each level you advance.

BTW: This took about 4 hours to make, most of the time spent in Photoshop.

You can get the game here:
Impalation

The right/left arrows control the spike(or spikes) and holding left shift down will make your spike move twice as fast.

George Bush is worth one point.
Kim Jong Il is worth two points.
Mr. T. is worth a negative 3 points!
Ronald Mc Donald is worth 3 points.
And The Terminator is worth a negative 5 points!

And now for the screenies:

The screenshots make it look like it was designed by by a six year old with unstoppable A.D.D., which is a testament to your comedic genius.

Actualy, this game would be perfect for someone with ADD or ADHD.

Awesome there should be a way to import your own people for impaling.

I have ADD. What are you saying? Seriously. I don't find that humorous at all. Maybe next time you should think twice before you insult people who have... wait... what was I talking about? Huh? Ah well, whatever. Hey, what's this game up here with Ronald McDonald? Coooool.

The Illumina site is for Illumina; I would not feel right hosting a personal project off our website.

I can't tell if I actually offended you, Anton. I assure you I said that comment with no disrespect to people who actually have ADD.

Ok, you can get the game here:
Impalation

The right/left arrows control the spike(or spikes) and holding left shit down will make your spike move twice as fast.

Edit:
Please post your high scores! The highest I got was around 635.

@Adam: I'm six years old and don't find your comment at all humorous either. Maybe next time you should think twice about insu... wait, g2g... my parents are home and I'm supposed to be sleeping. cya l8r.

@Mark

LOL!!

@Adam

I was totally kidding! I do have A.D.D. or A.D.H.D. or L.A.Z.Y. or whatever it's called now days and... wait... this is hilarious... my wife just read my Lazy joke and got offended by it cause SHE has L.A.Z.Y. I mean ADD. oh now she's beating me!!! OK. Now she's threatening no... ok, I gotta stop.

Yeah. Just don't ever worry about offending me unless you are oppressing people or something like that. It was a joke that as an ADD person I can't keep track of my thoughts long enough to even say I'm offended and then I got all excited by Josh's game exactly as you guys said ADD people would. It was a joke for people who have or know people with ADD. :) Mark McCoy got it... a little too well I'd say. :P
