Here's a preview of a game I've been making:

http://www.matazone.co.uk/animpages/cf/circlefish.php

I think it's ready, but I just wanted to check that it's all working okay before putting it out to the general public. Let me know if it's all functioning okay for you.

Seems to work fine for me!

That 7 was stalking me though, I tell you dry.gif Those poor cuddly bears.. sad.gif
Kitty
Works good for me too!
Also kills the arrow buttons on my keyboard because I think if I press down on them harder my little dot will move faster blink.gif
I'll be addicted....
voices_in_my_head
Kitty, I do the same thing! I'm Convinced that it will make the dot move faster eventully.laugh.gif

It worked fine for me too!
Mata
Thank you! I've put that out to the 'public' now.
pgrmdave
teehee...I love your games, Mata - they manage to be simple, deceivingly difficult, and incredibly addictive smile.gif
Mata
I'm having issues with the speed that it runs at. It's really annoying, it's super-slick on my home machine but as soon as I put it online it turns into a snail impersonator. Gr.

Tricky!

I think i've got a fairly fast computer... unsure.gif ... so i think it works quite fast for me.

Oh yay for my score of 135.89!

That game is as close as you can get to evil in a 760 x 415 window, I tells ya!

I suck even on easy! I can get 5 on easy and 3 on hard, before some annoying number 9 comes up from behind and travels over my little dot, reverting all my minion dots to full size. Then number nine goes off looking all innocent whistling a merry tune. Grr!

EDIT: That's one of few games that makes me grit my teeth and move my head as if thinking that it will affect the location of the dot, and it's the only game that makes me hyperventilate when the dot just happens to travel through 7, 8 and 9 consecutively in the space of a second. But on another note, I did it! 84.852!
Mata
Go Jimi!

I think I've finally got it running about as well as is possible on a browser. I'm rather miffed at the difference between home rendering and browser based rendering speed. I've spent most of the last five hours trying to get the code to be more efficient. It was pretty good to begin with!

Not any more! biggrin.gif

Excellent, and wonderfully simple game there, Mata. Nice stuff. Never have I hated the number 11 so much. And the little ball bounces off the wall! *joy*

One bug I noticed though, is that if you use the back button in the game to return to the menu, and then play again, the little "waaa" sound that normally plays when you collect a number doesn't play. Some setting not being reset upon pressing the 'back' button?

Great fun though!

I suppose you can have the Easy one, since I've got the Tricky and Hard ones now tongue.gif

This game is so much fun laugh.gif

Damn the infernal 8 and 9 always trying to foil me.
CommieBastard
I think you'll find, sir, that I kept the Hard one, and have now retaken Tricky tongue.gif

Edit: all three retaken! For righteousness!
MrTeapot
Shouldn't you be doing your essay Commie?

*finds it too tricky to complete sad.gif *
CommieBastard
Quiet, you!

I had noticed that, but I currently have no idea why it happens. Thanks for reminding me though, I may have a go at fixing it at some point. It's not a high priority thought after all the time I've spent streamlining the code already.

EDIT: Sometimes I rock so hard that I'm amazed that I don't instantly disintegrate into my component molecules. I've fixed it. You'll probably need a full refresh to get the full 'woop'y effect.

Maybe you're already in component molecule form and you're just totally unaware of it blink.gif

I like the game, but have yet to finish a level. I'm just not good with games!! *pout*
Mata
I think I really need to learn the abilities of the average gamer. I seem to always make my games way too hard!
CheeseMoose
I just got nearly the same score on both easy and tricky. What's with that?

51.234 on Easy (Ranked 44)
52.947 on Tricky (Ranked 10)

Are these levels both the same difficultness?
oobunnie
I find the tricky on to infact be tricky. Somehow I get a better score on hard.

Girl's like it....hard? >_<
oobunnie
Yes, well with skilled hands like mine; I have more fun when it's hard.
Mata
The squares move faster on tricky as well as accelerating more when you pick up one. On hard this is to a larger extent again and there are the extra red squares as obstacles. It's quite hard to fine-tune difficulty levels!
gerbilfromhell
That game is far too addictive and awesome, Mata.


Y'know, I really started high school with the intention of being studious and whatnot. Then I made Matazone my homepage....

I have played 'The Night of the Zombie Kitties' game far past the point of addiction or health.

This game may be more addictive. I don't know. But, either way, it is quite awesome

I think not. tongue.gif

Top *two* scores in Hard. What now.





And, on that note, I'm off to dissapear from whence I came.
Mata
Hey Gerb! Great to see you popping back in here. With the revival of the 'Who's the best' poll I was just thinking about you. Spooky! *hugs*
Greeneyes
I notice two people (who shall remain nameless) have managed to complete the game on hard in 0.000 seconds.
Mata
Bloody immature skiddies. I even put a polite request in my source code for people to not hack my tables and they still go ahead and do it. What sad lives they must have. I've deleted those scores.

They really need to learn to be a little more subtle...
