Protozoa - New Game Being Released Today

[ruckage]

It is brilliant and I love it.

I can't make the snake change directions on my MK1, spotty at best. Is that a problem with the input routines?

I hope my stick isn't broken. Edit: it can't be because I added the link to Gmenu and then selected it .

You might want to check that out, if I can't change direction I can't play the game

Maybe its caused by the diagonal bias of the MK1 - if you're having trouble you can also control the snake with the shoulder buttons.

shoulder buttons work fine on my MK1, my d-pad works fine, but remember it's only left and right, and I prefer the shoulder buttons anyways

Definitely looks like a need for a compilation of available sources of Fenix information.

http://fenix.divsite.net/document.php?lang=en doesn't seem to have much.

I am well aware of that being an F-100 user/pre-order and then getting a MK1 "regular" and then a MK2.

I made a nubie mistake .

I didn't know the shoulder buttons worked too. This game is insane, we really need a pack of all of these sweet games (Vektar, etc) in one quickie download.

I love it, I have only gotten to around 50 or a little more and it is entirely addictive.

It rolls the fun of Asteriods with Snake and lets you travel in circles like a madman.

Just put this on my system right now and im hooked. I absolutely love this game, excellant work.

Just curious, i read a while back you thought you may have figured out what kept causing the random crashes in fenix programs, did you ever figure this out fully?

 

[PokeParadox]

Hmmm looks good. I'm kinda annoyed since it's similar to a game idea I've been sitting on for a while. I think I still have some original ideas so if I ever get time to code my game it will still merit a release. Anyway good work. I'll try it at some point.

I'm interested in this too.

Either way, nice game, thanks Ruckage.

Have to repost praise!

I had to fight my other half for my gp2x tonite!

[edit]

Running Gmenu2x with 2.1.1, you need to upgrade firmware I guess Line O'Sevens.

 

[LineOf7s]

Okay, an update:

Upgraded to firmware 2.1.1 - let me say that again: This game is the first application to make me consider risking a bricking to play it!. Review over.

Anyways, it didn't do anything. Sound still missing; no joy from GMenu2x.

So I uninstalled, redownloaded and reinstalled. Sound came back. Yay! No Gmenu2x worky though.

Deleted Gmenu2x entry and re-added link.

Gmenu2x works!

So now it all works fabbo and I've got a shiny new firmware to boot. Hurrah.

I'm currently going Ruckage-crazy and updating all my GP2X skins to his Carbon skin.

Next step: track him down and peer in on him as he showers.

So who is going to be brave enough to post their top score?

Protozoa HS: 773

781 :-]

Game is well put together and pretty fun. Nice one Ruckage.

 

[ruckage]

Maybe it's unfair for me to post a score but my highest so far is 1081 (though I'm sure someone will beat it soon if they haven't already.)

 

[sam fisher]

Ruckage, do you have MSN. I'm having some annoying problems with fenix, especially involving the xadvance function, and you may be able to help me.

 

[sensible GP32]

!!!!!!! Warning mini rant begins !!!!!!

I'm a bit miffed at the votes I have for this - last night I got one vote of 10, but this morning I look and there are now 2 votes but the score has gone straight down to 5 . I don't think for a second that my game is worth 10/10 but surely its worth more than 1 (which is what the second voter must have picked). It seems on everything I've ever released there always comes a point when some joker puts in a ridiculously low score (and I've seen it happen to others as well). Anyway - rant over just think it's a funny way to encourage developers to keep working. It it wasn't for the feedback here - complete with constructive critcism which is good, I'd be really put off about releasing anything again.

5 pages would suggest your game is a hit!

2 pages if you have more posts per page

great game, hi around 581 I think... I was never good at these quick pick them up games, but they still entertain me

 

[White Demon]

A reworking of the old worm/snake style game. This is a great release, fun to play.

@line-o-stevens, I know you solved your problem re gMenu2x, but I may as well say anyway, I'm running v0.7 with fw2.0, had no problems launching it.

Forget the ratings, the feedback in the thread is where you'll find out if your app is hot/not.

Thanks White Demon. I think after cracking the nut with a sledgehammer it turned out my problem was (perhaps) a dodgy download and a slightly dodgy GMenu2x link. Now I'll never know for sure...
