LATEST VERSION:


____________________________
Basic game mechanics should be clear from the alpha, but any advanced ideas are very welcome.

Currently I'm working hard on animations. Have a look at some concept art:


The gameplay will be simplistic (no time to thing complicated). I hope I can make the art, noone to help (yet)

Soon I'm gonna post some new alpha, maybe on monday

Wow!! I love such pictures!!

[frca]

Thanks Rudy

Here is the next alpha as I promised:

Will it be like shooting piranhas or dodging them or what?

[frca]

Here is a new alpha (0.4):

EDIT: Removed (featured a bug)

Nicholas: There will be a bit from both

Actually, when croco touches piranhas with his mouth, he will eat them gaining some points. Otherwise they will bite him hurting him for a change.
So in order to be succesful you have to dodge piranha and then bite it from the back.
Just try the alpha
Edit: Well, I removed it, so please wait until next alpha release

Download link is in the second post.

Now, the game is practically done. Just needs to add some sounds and of course a lot of testing. So please feel free to test it and also post some screenies with high scores

To the gameplay: You can catch multiple fish to gain much more points. You just have to make it until the combo time runs out.
And every 1000 points you gain your health increases.

For the testing: When you experience some crashes, try to identify, when did it happen. When you experience low framerates, post a screenie with the low-fps scene and also your system specs, especially what graphics board you use.

What to add, just ENJOY THE GAME

I wonder why noone downloads my game...
Do screenshots look that terrible or what? For me, the gameplay is more important, and I need many people's opinion in order to improve it.
Yeah, i could add a video, but hey - downloading it would take you longer time than downloading the game itself...

Edit: There was a missing SDL.dll, so I uploaded a version with it included. Downloadable here:

[Mugen9s]

I want to play it but i get an error, first it said i needed SDL.dll, so i downloaded it from the web.

but when i put the dll in the folder and i try to run the game i get an error box that says -
"the procedure entry point SDL_strlcat could not be located in the dynamic link library SDL.dll"

can you help?

P.S I have Windows Vista (could that be why?)
