I like games like that but obviously it can use more refining. . . I'd like to see the music not restart after starting each new level.and maybe the ability to move diaganolly but up down left and right work too. . .

Well, its a start. I guess it can only get better from there right?
The basic gameplay needs spiced up a bit. Also, when I die I dont want to have to start over from the begining, I want to start over from the level I died on.
But keep up the good work, I think we have the next John Romero here! And you can take that as a compliment or as an insult.

i mostly made this game to try out the Game Maker 5.1 prog without haveing t use the cookie cutter tutorials. i just made it up off the top of my head.. I didn't really want to make a good game perse' as i wanted to fuck around with a new toy. I'm looking into BYOND.com and the RPGToolkit as other alternative, if and when i decide, whatch for the resulting RPG.

-:D

please don't poop on my internet, i don't log in on your toilet. just kidding, kinda....was snake not doing it for you? it was okay i guess, but yeah slow...and like grundy said the music was annoying when it started over and over. keep on truckin'.

[Realm]

Aw Kitsune, don't be an ass. Not bad Rogue, not bad.

As this is one of the first games you've made, I am guessing it's more of a see if it works thing more than anything. You gotta start somewhere, and at least it was a plausible game.

My suggestion for major improvement - change the music. Please. Now see if you can make a game where a snoman has to poop snowballs on something/someone...

The game didn't play music on my computer, but it was fine since I was listening to WinAmp anyway.

[The Siege]

It's alright, but it's not Super Ninja Pong!

...

From a tech standpoint, it's rock solid, so you're good to go on that. As for design.. meh, it's pretty old-school, but not terribly interesting, nothing really stands out about the game, other than the main character is a circle. The "bouncing" aspect of the game is nearly useless, when it comes down to it you just move around and dodge stuff.

As something to do just "to see if you can", I'd say it's pretty good. My advice, don't bother working on this game anymore, keep it in your portfolio, and start on something completely new.

it comes to my attention that people thought my first post was supposed to be mean, well i was only funin'. don't take what i say for what i really mean.

[Silviar]

But why does Bob look so sullen? Does he need a hug? Perhaps all of that food made him ill.

[the fuzzy panda]

he looks like those things off the zircon commericaials,
i liked it but then again my opinion isnt worth much hmmm. panda says make it faster like a manic depresent on crack :

[rogue]

i'd like to apologize for the music, it was slim shady in MIDI form, i know it restarts after every level, and i have thusly decided to remove it completely. as for the diagonal.......maybe(i'd have to alter the control setup, its a hassle) but if i do actually do the update, then i think i'll defiently add more levels, and yes bouncing bob is what i become after a three day work period on sleep deprivation you know, going munchies, trying not to trip of people and things ,get hit by traffic, stuff like that.

also, i will try to add a warp hole to the board so that it will be more interesting to navigate.
