This is how i roll- comming soon. need 3 beta testers!

[lafe]

awsome platform im making in GAME MAKER NOT CONSTRUCT.
you play as a ball that wants to find the meaning of life. id tell you more about the plot, but that would spoil the secret.
the physics part of the game is that, there is NO JUMP BUTTON, so the only way to progress is to build momentum by moving left and right to bounce, roll, and soar through the levels. it has a very interesting graphics style. i need three beta testers. anyone who can make music or knows someone who can would also be a great help.
acclaim from the only current beta tester;
"you made me addicted... this game is awesome. one small problem: sometimes you just fall out of the level, I know you have to press R then, but could you make some wall to make you won;t fall out of the game? besides that, this game deserves a featuring! it's simple, good and addicting. ver ywell-balanced"
i will release the game for free on yoyo games, and there will be an extended version on my site for one to 3 dollers that has more chapters and a level editor if you realy like the game (or me)
edit: I NO LONGER AM TAKING BETA TESTERS
screeneys:

[killimanjaro23]

i will be a beta tester

[Wrestler#1]

yeah, I'm always ready for betatesting

[lafe]

Okay then, thats 2 out of the three i need. :)
here, ill pm you the beta.

[UberGimp]

alright. i'll do it.

[lafe]

alright. i'll do it.
okay then, im pming it too you.

[Wrestler#1]

-+ betatesting report now only via pms +-

[samysam]

alright. i'll do it.

Haha you say it like you're obligated to.

[lafe]

OK, so here are just some quick thoughts. Gonna add some more after I have done some work for school:

You should try to eleminate that bouncing that appears even if you stand still. That could give us some more control over the movement.

Changing the friction in the ice levels is a MUST because it just doesn't feel right at the moment. Now it makes that level where you have to slide inside a circle impossible because you just keep bumping and not sliding.

In some levels there are some pixels of ground that block those jump-flowers a bit, you might want to errase those.

I hope I can help you.

EDIT: Beat that level.

Another bug: After jumping out of the screen and back in the parachute sometimes detaches itself.

And another complain: I don't really understand the waterphysics. Sometimes I get really deep into the water and sometimes it pushes me out really quick. Kinda messy, I'd try to fix that since water plays a big role in this game.


Could be a cool game, but it still needs a lot of work.

the ice levels do have a change in friction, (as does animal, its sticky) unfortunatly, the way i scripted terrain frictian also currently controls bounce hight. (speed = speed/1.X) X = the amount of friction.
ill fix the water. the way i did that is a simple vertical force, but its the collision decection is whats bugging it out.

also, can we do the beta discusion in pms, i dont want to ruin the game for onlookers :D
my freinds coming over, and we may do the soundtrack today.
also, im still chugging along with the level development, look at this!

[fracture7]

Do you need any beta testers who have had absolutely no experiance actually building a game?

If so, ill give testing a shot.

But if you dont need any more, i hope this game is better than your last ones...

[Wrestler#1]

i actually clicked every button on my keyboard...
maybe you should add a "press any key" option for continuing.

[Chrupencjusz]

Water on the screenshot is made of particles?

[lafe]

Water on the screenshot is made of particles?
nope :(
that was how i tried it origionaly, but gm just couldent take the lag.

[Chrupencjusz]

Yeah, GM don't optimize games well. But that's the price for it's simplicity.

[geel9]

I know for certain I won't buy it.

[UberGimp]

Wow Geel. You're a real bitch.
he actually made quite an improvement with this game.

Paying for it is a bit much imo as well, but you don't have to be such an asshat

[Treacle109]

Meh, if the game is like $3 then i will buy it lol... Seriously though, supporting beginners would definately pay off if there persistant, which, He obviously is as hes made a few... Admitadely, rubbish games, but he still puts some hard work into them.

yeah, the game is like 3 dollers, and you get a level editor so you can make AND POST your own chapters and lots of new content,
and ofcourse geel wouldent buy it, i mind aswell make WOG and he wouldent buy it for 3 dollers, hes just like that.

If you made World of Goo, I'd buy it. I simply do not feel the need to buy a game that you made.

Yes, exactly. well, if your interested to see the game, the free version is basicly the same. just with no level editor, see theres a reson theres the normal game (which is free) and the extended one, the normal game is big, its no demo.

[Drü-B]

Come on now, it has been so peaceful.
