BALL

Hi, everybody! :D
This is my first game and it is called simply, Ball.

Use arrow keys to move.

There are two types of points.
First type is indicated with white numbers. Those are points you need to collect and at the
beginning you have 0 white points. When you collect 5000 white points you win.
Second type is indicated with blue numbers. You can collect, but also lose those points. At
the beginning you have 5000 blue points and if you lose all of them, it is game over.

There are 7 different objects:
1. blue ball:
- gives 1 white point when collected
- when hits the right wall, you lose 2 blue points
2. pink ball:
- gives 5 white points when collected
- when hits the right wall, you lose 10 blue points
3. red ball:
- gives 10 white points when collected
- when hits the right wall, you lose 20 blue points
4. yellow ball:
- gives 20 white points when collected
- when hits the right wall, you lose 40 blue points
5. multicolor ball:
- gives 200 white and 200 blue points when collected
6. light blue ball, actually small version of player:
- gives 1000 blue points when collected
7. arrow:
- when an arrow hits you, you lose 1000 blue points

GOOD LUCK! :)

Now I see lots of balls are involved here :> `..and the main player is kinda cute.
This could become a neat game if the development on it continues.

Hi, bat78! :D

Thanks! I am glad you like it. Main player resembles GE's logo. :roll: :oops: :D

I'll make some levels, menu and more things, I just need to learn more about GE.

Salute! :D

I'll have to try this one when I get a chance. Looks interesting.

Thanks! It looks childish. :lol:
It is my very first game, so don't expect much of it. :mrgreen: Anyway, I might add some levels and whatnot, post a review if you want.
This game and Byzantine Empire I've made before I started visiting forum. When I signed in I immediately posted these two games in Game Demos. I actually should have posted them in Game Development. :roll:
I've made this game with sounds and music, which I took from other sources, so I uploaded this "silent" version. I don't know how are things going with copyright. :?:

Nice game! Controls in BALL are responsive and do what you want them to, and the variety of point circles to collect is nice, along with the random Pacman light blue item worth a lot more points. Hitting the wall reduces the score, so that adds to the challenge. One hit with the arrow and -1000 points, so the player has to be careful to avoid them. The constant inflow of items to collect in random order based on the color make it entertaining.
With sound effects this could be even more fun. For your first game, well done! 8)

It is not my call and I can't do much about it except to advice you.. PLEASE,
DO NOT Involve Microsoft products in your games. If you are into hesitate ..tell me one random number, generated by rand(oo) and I will tell you as many reasons why to not do that.
Compared to that, 2 bit ear-destroying sounds are MUCH preferable oh I'd love them.. but this.. this is beyond the worse choice for selecting game sound. Not only I am being interrupted but you and your game not any less.

OK, so then, should I delete this game from mediafire and forum?

Your game was very good for a first game until you decided to use Microsoft sounds in it. I have no idea how did you ended up doing this as there is an arcane amount of free, dedicated music samples over the internet and honestly.. I would create one private for you even. (I do music)
All you have to do is change the music or just remove it whatever.

I can't change music in game now. When I change it, I'll upload that version. Game isn't same without sounds, but "silent" version is satisfying for now.

You don't have to worry about everything, especially sounds. It is your first game though. Soon you may just leave it in the past. Just please.. change the music explicitly before performing any imminent action related to your game. Keep up the great work :)

@koala: I think you must have misinterpreted what bat78 meant when he said this:

I believe he only meant removing the music from the game, not removing the whole game from here :D

I haven't played this yet, but I'll try it when I get some time, it seems very good for a first game.
